Mark 14:68

68 at ille negavit dicens neque scio neque novi quid dicas et exiit foras ante atrium et gallus cantavit

Mark 14:68 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:68

But he denied
That he was with Jesus, or a disciple of his:

saying, I know not; Jesus of Nazareth: neither understand I what thou
sayest;
about him, and of being with him: the last phrase, "neither understand I", is omitted in the Syriac and Persic versions:

and he went out into the porch;
adjoining to the palace, to consider what to do, being surprised and confounded at such a challenge:

and the cock crew;
the first time, being about midnight; and yet he took no notice of it, nor remembered what Christ had but a few hours before said to him: or if he did, he might hope he should not meet with another attack, or he should have more courage and strength than to deny a second time.

68 at ille negavit dicens neque scio neque novi quid dicas et exiit foras ante atrium et gallus cantavit

69 rursus autem cum vidisset illum ancilla coepit dicere circumstantibus quia hic ex illis est

70 at ille iterum negavit et post pusillum rursus qui adstabant dicebant Petro vere ex illis es nam et Galilaeus es
