Mark 14:66 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:66

And as Peter was beneath in the palace
Not at the lower and further end of the room, but in the lower part of it; that part in which Jesus and the sanhedrim were, being upon an advanced ground, with steps ascending to it:

there cometh one of the maids of the high priest;
the same that kept the door, and let him in. The Ethiopic version renders it, "a daughter of the high priest".

Mark 14:66 In-Context

64 You've heard his insult against God. What do you think?" They all condemned him. "He deserves to die!"

65 Some began to spit on him. Some covered his face and hit him, saying, "Prophesy!" Then the guards took him and beat him.

66 Meanwhile, Peter was below in the courtyard. A woman, one of the high priest's servants, approached

67 and saw Peter warming himself by the fire. She stared at him and said, "You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus."

68 But he denied it, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about. I don't understand what you're saying." And he went outside into the outer courtyard. A rooster crowed.
