Mark 14:67

65 Then some began to ^aspit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers¹ struck Him with the palms of their hands.

Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps

66 ^aNow as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came.

67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with ^aJesus of Nazareth.”

68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” And he went out on the porch, and a rooster crowed.

69 ^aAnd the servant girl saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by, “This is one of them.”

70 But he denied it again. ^aAnd a little later those who stood by said to Peter again, “Surely you are one of them; ^bfor you are a Galilean, and your² speech shows it.”

71 Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this Man of whom you speak!”

72 ^aA second time the rooster crowed. Then Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And when he thought about it, he wept.

Warming himself (qermainomenon). Mark mentions this fact about Peter twice (Mark 14:54, Mark 14:67) as does John (John 18:18, John 18:25). He was twice beside the fire. It is quite difficult to relate clearly the three denials as told in the Four Gospels. Each time several may have joined in, both maids and men.

The Nazarene (tou Nazarhnou). In Matthew 26:69 it is "the Galilean." A number were probably speaking, one saying one thing, another another.
