Giovanni 18:26

26 Ed uno dei servitori del sommo sacerdote, parente di colui a cui Pietro avea tagliato l’orecchio, disse: Non ti vidi io nell’orto con lui?

Giovanni 18:26 Meaning and Commentary

John 18:26

One of the servants of the high priest
Hearing him so stiffly deny that he was a disciple of Jesus, when he had great reason to believe he was:

being his kinsman, whose ear Peter cut off;
a near relation of Malchus, to whom Peter had done this injury; and who was present at the same time, and no doubt took particular notice of him; and the more, because of what he had done to his kinsman:

saith unto him, did not I see thee in the garden with him?
as if he should have said, I saw thee with my own eyes along with Jesus, this very night in the garden, beyond Kidron, where he was apprehended, how canst thou deny it? and wilt thou stand in it so confidently, that thou art not one of his disciples?

Giovanni 18:26 In-Context

24 Anna adunque l’avea rimandato legato a Caiafa, sommo sacerdote.

25 E Simon Pietro era quivi presente, e si scaldava. Laonde gli dissero: Non sei ancor tu de’ suoi discepoli? Ed egli lo negò, e disse: Non sono.

26 Ed uno dei servitori del sommo sacerdote, parente di colui a cui Pietro avea tagliato l’orecchio, disse: Non ti vidi io nell’orto con lui?

27 E Pietro da capo lo negò, e subito il gallo cantò.

28 POI menarono Gesù da Caiafa nel palazzo; or era mattina, ed essi non entrarono nel palazzo, per non contaminarsi, ma per poter mangiar la pasqua.
