Contextual Overview

13They took him first to Annas, the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the head preacher at that time. 14Caiaphas is the one who said, "It's better that one man should die rather than all of them." 15Pete and another cowboy followed at a distance. The other cowboy knew the head preacher and was allowed to enter the courtyard with Jesus. 16Pete waited outside. The other cowboy spoke to the girl working the gate and Pete was allowed in. 17As they walked in, the girl working the gate asked, "Wait a minute. Aren't you one of the cowboys who ride for the man they just arrested?""Nope," Pete said. "Don't know who you're talking about." 18The night was cold, and the servants had made a fire in the courtyard. Pete stood with them warming himself. 19Inside the house, Annas started asking Jesus about his message and what he taught his cowboys. 20Jesus said, "I don't need to repeat myself. Y'all have heard everything I've said in the churches and the main church courtyard where all the Jews hang out. I haven't been secretive about one thing. 21Why ask me what I said? Ask those that heard me." 22The final word had barely come out of Jesus's mouth when a guard standing close by slapped him in the face and said, "That ain't no way to talk to the head preacher."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

One of the servants of the high priest,.... Hearing him so stiffly deny that he was a disciple of Jesus, when he had great reason to believe he was:

being his kinsman, whose ear Peter cut off; a near relation of Malchus, to whom Peter had done this injury; and who was present at the same time, and no doubt took particular notice of him; and the more, because of what he had done to his kinsman:

saith unto him, did not I see thee in the garden with him? as if he should have said, I saw thee with my own eyes along with Jesus, this very night in the garden, beyond Kidron, where he was apprehended, how canst thou deny it? and wilt thou stand in it so confidently, that thou art not one of his disciples?

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
