Contextual Overview

54 And they took him, and conducted him to the house of the high priest. And Simon followed after him, at a distance. 55 And they kindled a fire in the middle of the court, and sat around it; and Simon also sat among them. 56 And a certain maid saw him sitting at the fire, and she looked upon him, and said: This man also was with him. 57 But he denied, and said: Woman, I have not known him. 58 And a little after, another [fn] saw him, and said to him: Thou too art one of them. And Cephas said: I am not. 59 And an hour after, another contended and said: Certainly, this man also was with him, for he likewise is a Galilean. 60 Cephas said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was speaking, the cock crew. 61 And Jesus turned, and looked upon Cephas. And Simon remembered the word of our Lord, which he spoke to him: Before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me three times. 62 And Simon went out, and 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.
