Contextual Overview

⁵⁴ They arrested Jesus, and led him away, and brought him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed far behind them. ⁵⁵ After the soldiers started a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat together, Peter sat with them. ⁵⁶ A servant girl saw Peter sitting there in the firelight, and looking closely at him, she said, "This man was also with him." ⁵⁷ But Peter said this was not true; he said, "Woman, I don't know him." ⁵⁸ A short time later, another person saw Peter and said, "You are also one of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not!" ⁵⁹ About an hour later, another man insisted, "Certainly this man was with him, because he is from Galilee, too." ⁶⁰ But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you are talking about!" At once, while Peter was still speaking, a rooster crowed. ⁶¹ Then the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. And Peter remembered what the Lord had said: "Before the rooster crows this day, you will say three times that you don't know me." ⁶² Then Peter went outside and cried painfully.

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 26:57-75.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 56. A certain maid beheld him — Or, Attentively beholding him, ατενισασα. And this she did by the help of the light of the fire at which Peter sat.
