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;<\/p>\n and earnestly looked upon him, and said, this man was also with him<\/strong>; 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.<\/p>\n In the light <\/B> ( <\/SPAN><\/span>). Facing (<\/SPAN><\/span>) the light, for the fire gave light as well as heat.

Favourite word in Luke (4:20<\/span>, etc.) for gazing steadily at one.<\/P> This man also <\/B> ( <\/SPAN><\/span>). As if pointing to Peter and talking about him. The other Gospels (Mark 14:67<\/span>; Matt 26:69<\/span>; John 18:25<\/span>) make a direct address to Peter.

St. John had been already seen and known as a disciple of Jesus (Joh. 18:15<\/span>).<\/p>\n ‘And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light of the fire, and looking steadfastly at him, said, “This man also was with him.”’<\/p>\n Thus when a maid who saw him in the light of the fire, unexpectedly stared at him and then pointed him out to those around as a companion of the accused man, his nerve broke, and the result was that, panic-stricken, he reacted with an immediate lie.<\/p>\n 56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 56.

Probably the porteress who had followed Peter into the court; the different answers suggest that she kept up a bantering accusation of this kind to which he responded in different words, but to the same effect.
