Luke 22:56 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 22:56

Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly

54 ^aHaving arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest’s house. ^bBut Peter followed at a distance.

55 ^aNow when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.

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.

61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then ^aPeter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, ^b“Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

62 So Peter went out and wept bitterly.

Jesus Mocked and Beaten

63 ^aNow the men who held Jesus mocked Him and ^bbeat Him.
