Luke 22:59 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:59

And about the space of one hour after
After the first assault, or rather after the second: another confidently affirmed;
who was one of them that stood by the fireside, and heard what had passed; and not only so, but was a kinsman to him, whose ear Peter had cut off, and who had seen him in the garden with Christ, and therefore with all assurance asserted it, as a matter of fact, as an unquestionable truth, and beyond all doubt: saying of a truth, this fellow also was with him;
a disciple and follower of Jesus, and was with him when he was apprehended; I saw him there, and it may be depended on as a truth; and then added this reason, for he is a Galilean;
you may be assured of this yourselves, his speech betrays him; you may know him by his language, and which confirms my assertion.

Luke 22:59 In-Context

57 But Peter denied it by saying, "I don't know him, woman."
58 A little later someone else saw Peter and said, "You are one of them." But Peter said, "Not me!"
59 About an hour later another person insisted, "It's obvious that this man was with him. He's a Galilean!"
60 But Peter said, "I don't know what you're talking about!" Just then, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 Then the Lord turned and looked directly at Peter. Peter remembered what the Lord had said: "Before a rooster crows today, you will say three times that you don't know me."
