Contextual Overview

54 Jesus was arrested and led away to the house of the high priest, while Peter followed at a distance. 55 Some people built a fire in the middle of the courtyard and were sitting around it. Peter sat there with them, 56 and a servant girl saw him. Then after she had looked at him carefully, she said, "This man was with Jesus!" 57 Peter said, "Woman, I don't even know that man!" 58 A little later someone else saw Peter and said, "You are one of them!" "No, I'm not!" Peter replied. 59 About an hour later another man insisted, "This man must have been with Jesus. They both come from Galilee." 60 Peter replied, "I don't know what you are talking about!" Right then, while Peter was still speaking, a rooster crowed. 61 The Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered that the Lord had said, "Before a rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will say three times that you don't know me." 62 Then Peter went out and cried hard.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall,.... It being cold in the night time, though it was at the passover, and the beginning of harvest, the servants and officers of the high priest made a fire in the middle of the hall, whilst Jesus was examining before the sanhedrim, at the other end of it:

and were sat down together; about it, as the Syriac version adds, to warm themselves:

Peter sat down among them; for the same purpose, and as if he was one of them; and which he might do, not only to warm himself, but to prevent his being taken notice of, and suspected; as he might have been, had he been loitering about.
