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 Ye have heard the blasphemy. What think ye?" And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.

65 And some began to spit on Him, and to cover His face, and to buffet Him, and to say unto Him, "Prophesy!" And the servants struck Him with the palms of their hands.

66 And as Peter was below in the courtyard, there came one of the maids of the high priest.

67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him and said, "And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth."

68 But he denied it, saying, "I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest." And he went out into the porch, and the cock crowed.
