Contextual Overview

54And having taken Him, they led and brought Him into the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following far off, 55and they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them,56and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, "And this one was with Him!" 57And he disowned Him, saying, "Woman, I have not known Him." 58And after a while, another having seen him, said, "And you are of them!" And Peter said, "Man, I am not." 59And one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain other was confidently affirming, saying, "Of a truth this one also was with Him, for he is also a Galilean"; 60and Peter said, "Man, I have not known what you say"; and immediately, while he is speaking, a rooster crowed. 61And the LORD, having turned, looked on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the LORD, how He said to him, "Before a rooster will crow, you may disown Me three times"; 62and Peter having gone outside, wept bitterly.

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.
