Mark 14:69 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:69

And a maid saw him again
Either the same maid, so the Syriac and Persic versions read, "that maid": that selfsame maid, as before, or another, as in ( Matthew 26:71 ) , and so the Arabic version reads it here; but the Ethiopic as before "a daughter"; that is, of the high priest:

and began to say to them that stood by;
the fire, along with Peter, warming themselves:

this is one of them;
this man is one of the disciples and followers of Jesus of Nazareth; he is of that sect, he certainly belongs to them, and is come here only as a spy.

Mark 14:69 In-Context

67 and, seeing Peter warming himself there, looked hard at him and said, "You were with the Nazarene, Jesus."
68 He denied it: "I don't know what you're talking about." He went out on the porch. A rooster crowed.
69 The girl spotted him and began telling the people standing around, "He's one of them."
70 He denied it again. After a little while, the bystanders brought it up again. "You've got to be one of them. You've got 'Galilean' written all over you."
71 Now Peter got really nervous and swore, "I never laid eyes on this man you're talking about."
