Luca 22:56 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:56

But a certain maid beheld him
Looked upon him, and took notice of him, and observed his countenance and gesture: as he sat by the fire; or light; (See Gill on Mark 14:54). And both by the light of the fire, and other lights, which were doubtless in the hall, she discovered something in him, which made her look at him again with some earnestness; and earnestly looked upon him, and said, this man was also with him;
that fellow, that vile and contemptible wretch, now examining before the high priest; thus in a contemptuous manner, as was the custom and style of that nation, she disdained to mention the name of Jesus; though the Persic version here expresses it; and her sense was, that Peter was one of that clan, a disciple of his, and was only come hither as a spy.

Luca 22:56 In-Context

54 E presolo, lo menaron via e lo condussero dentro la casa del sommo sacerdote; e Pietro seguiva da lontano.

55 E avendo essi acceso un fuoco in mezzo alla corte ed essendosi posti a sedere insieme, Pietro si sedette in mezzo a loro.

56 E una certa serva, vedutolo sedere presso il fuoco, e avendolo guardato fisso, disse: Anche costui era con lui.

57 Ma egli negò, dicendo: Donna, io non lo conosco.

58 E poco dopo, un altro, vedutolo, disse: Anche tu sei di quelli. Ma Pietro rispose: O uomo, non lo sono.
