Mark 14:66

66 Καὶ ὄντος τοῦ Πέτρου κάτω ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ ⸃ ἔρχεται μία τῶν παιδισκῶν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως,

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 ἠκούσατε τῆς βλασφημίας · τί ὑμῖν φαίνεται; οἱ δὲ πάντες κατέκριναν αὐτὸν ἔνοχον εἶναι ⸃ θανάτου.

65 καὶ ἤρξαντό τινες ἐμπτύειν αὐτῷ καὶ περικαλύπτειν αὐτοῦ τὸ πρόσωπον ⸃ καὶ κολαφίζειν αὐτὸν καὶ λέγειν αὐτῷ · Προφήτευσον, καὶ οἱ ὑπηρέται ῥαπίσμασιν αὐτὸν ἔλαβον.

66 Καὶ ὄντος τοῦ Πέτρου κάτω ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ ⸃ ἔρχεται μία τῶν παιδισκῶν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως,

67 καὶ ἰδοῦσα τὸν Πέτρον θερμαινόμενον ἐμβλέψασα αὐτῷ λέγει · Καὶ σὺ μετὰ τοῦ Ναζαρηνοῦ ἦσθα τοῦ Ἰησοῦ ⸃·

68 ὁ δὲ ἠρνήσατο λέγων · Οὔτε οἶδα οὔτε ἐπίσταμαι σὺ τί ⸃ λέγεις, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἔξω εἰς τὸ προαύλιον καὶ ἀλέκτωρ ἐφώνησεν.
