Contextual Overview

54They arrested Jesus and took him straight to the high preacher's house.Pete followed at a distance, trying to see where they would take Jesus. 55Some men had started a fire in the yard of the high preacher's place and were warming themselves. Pete joined them around the fire but said nothing. 56A maid who worked for the high preacher saw him and said, "That cowboy right there rides with Jesus." 57But Pete shook his head and said, "I don't even know who you are talking about, lady." 58A little while later, someone else recognized him and said, "You are one of Jesus's cowboys aren't you?"But Pete said, "No! Why would you think such a stupid thing?" 59About an hour later, another person said, "This guy rode with Jesus. Anyone could tell he's from Galilee." 60But Pete again said, "Why does everyone keep saying I know this man? I don't!"Just then, while the words were still tumbling from his mouth, a rooster crowed. 61Jesus turned and looked directly at Pete from across the yard. Pete then remembered what Jesus had said, "Before the cock crows in the morning, there will be three times that you deny riding with me." 62Pete ran out of the yard and cried like he'd never cried before.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

he denied: Luke 22:33, Luke 22:34, Luke 12:9, Matthew 10:33, Matthew 26:70, John 18:25, John 18:27, Acts 3:13, Acts 3:14, Acts 3:19, 2 Timothy 2:10-12, 1 John 1:9

Reciprocal: John 18:17 - the damsel

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he denied him, saying, woman, I know him not. Startled at the maid's positive assertion, and knowing not how to clear himself any other way, roundly, and at once, denied that Jesus was his master; or that he was a disciple of his; or that he knew any thing of him, or had any acquaintance with him: and thus he that had said he would die with him, rather than deny him, is frighten at a servant maid, and denies him upon the first attack upon him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 26:57-75.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 57. And he denied him — See the notes on Matthew 26:58; Matthew 26:69, &c.
