Luke 22:58

Luke 22:58

56 And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, “This man was also with Him.”

57 But he denied¹ Him, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”

58 ^aAnd after a little while another saw him and said, “You also are of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”

59 ^aThen after about an hour had passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a ^bGalilean.”

60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying!” Immediately, while he was still speaking,¹ the rooster crowed.

<< Luke 22:57

Luke 22:59 >>

Another man saw him and said - Observe here, in order to reconcile the four evangelists, that divers persons concurred in charging Peter with belonging to Christ. The maid that led him in, afterward seeing him at the fire, first put the question to him, and then positively affirmed, that he was with Christ. Another maid accused him to the standers by, and gave occasion to the man here mentioned, to renew the charge against him, which caused the second denial. Others of the company took notice of his being a Galilean, and were seconded by the kinsman of Malchus, who affirmed he had seen him in the garden. And this drew on the third denial.
