69 Again the maidservant saw him, and again began to say to the people standing by, "He is one of them."

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 she looked at him and said, "You also were with Jesus, the Nazarene."

68 But he denied it, and said, "I don't know--I don't understand--What do you mean?" And then he went out into the outer court. Just then a cock crowed.

69 Again the maidservant saw him, and again began to say to the people standing by, "He is one of them."

70 A second time he repeatedly denied it. Soon afterwards the bystanders again accused Peter, saying, "You are surely one of them, for you too are a Galilaean."

71 But he broke out into curses and oaths, declaring, "I know nothing of the man you are talking about."
