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".

66 And when Peter was in the hall beneath, one of the damsels of the high priest came [one of the handmaidens of the highest priest came].

68 And he denied, and said [saying], Neither I know, neither I know, what thou sayest. And he went [out] withoutforth before the hall; and at once [and anon] the cock crew.
