Contextual Overview

⁵⁴Now having arrested Him, they led Him away and brought Him to the house of the high priest, but Peter was following at a distance. ⁵⁵And after they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting among them. ⁵⁶And a servant-girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and looking intently at him, said, "This man was with Him too." ⁵⁷But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know Him." ⁵⁸A little later, another saw him and said, "You are one of them too!" But Peter said, "Man, I am not!" ⁵⁹And after about an hour had passed, another man began to insist, saying, "Certainly this man was with Him too, for he also is a Galilean." ⁶⁰But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. ⁶¹And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, "Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times." ⁶²And he went out and cried bitterly.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But a certain maid beheld him,.... Looked upon him, and took notice of him, and observed his countenance and gesture: as he sat by the fire; or light; :-. And both by the light of the fire, and other lights, which were doubtless in the hall, she discovered something in him, which made her look at him again with some earnestness;

and earnestly looked upon him, and said, this man was also with him; that fellow, that vile and contemptible wretch, now examining before the high priest; thus in a contemptuous manner, as was the custom and style of that nation, she disdained to mention the name of Jesus; though the Persic version here expresses it; and her sense was, that Peter was one of that clan, a disciple of his, and was only come hither as a spy.
