Mark 14:67. Thou also wast with Jesus— This young woman expresses her contempt of Jesus very strongly: for the original runs, Thou also wast with that Nazarene Jesus. See Wynne, and on Matthew 26:73-74. read more
67. And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him—Luke ( :-) is here more graphic; "But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire"—literally, "by the light," which, shining full upon him, revealed him to the girl—"and earnestly looked upon him"—or, "fixed her gaze upon him." His demeanor and timidity, which must have attracted notice, as so generally happens, "leading," says OLSHAUSEN, "to the recognition of him." and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth—"with... read more
Peter’s presence was a testimony to His love for Jesus. Unfortunately his love could not stand the test of fear. [Note: Wessel, p. 771.] The girl’s description of Jesus ("that Nazarene, Jesus") made it clear that Peter was among enemies. She had probably seen Peter with Jesus in the temple or the city during that week. Peter denied being one of Jesus’ disciples "using the form common in rabbinical law for a formal, legal denial." [Note: Lane, p. 542.] Peter then left the warmth and light of the... read more
Peter’s denial of Jesus 14:66-72 (cf. Matthew 26:69-75; Luke 22:55-62; John 18:16-18, 25-27)This event happened below in the courtyard while the hearing just described continued on the floor above. These verses resume what Mark introduced in Mark 14:54. The events were contemporaneous with Jesus’ examination by the Sanhedrin (Mark 14:55-65)."The irony inherent in the situation is evident when the force of juxtaposing Mark 14:65 and Mark 14:66-72 is appreciated. At the precise time when the... read more

(67) Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.—The order of the words varies in the MSS.; but the better ones give the words as spoken with an emphatic scorn, “And thou also wast with the Nazarene, Jesus.” read more
Foreign Missions Mark 14:4 The incident from which our text is taken is distinguished above all others by the fact that Jesus mentions it as one that shall be held in world-wide and undying remembrance (v. 9). What is there said has been realized wherever missions have been established. But, unfortunately, the obvious moral of the story has not prevented the application to foreign missions of a question, oft repeated and loud sounding, which amounts almost in so many words to the question of... read more
CHAPTER 14:66-72 (Mark 14:66-72)THE FALL OF PETER"And as Peter was beneath in the court, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest; and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and saith, Thou also wast with the Nazarene, even Jesus. But he denied, saying, I neither know, nor understand what thou sayest: and he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. And the maid saw him, and began again to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. But he again denied it. And after a... read more

152. At the high priest’s house (Matthew 26:57-75; Mark 14:53-72; Luke 22:54-65; John 18:12-27)Annas and his son-in-law Caiaphas apparently lived in the same house. Annas had been the previous high priest and, though replaced by Caiaphas, was still well respected and influential. Jesus’ captors took him to Annas first, while Peter and John, who had followed at a distance, waited in the courtyard. By now it was well past midnight and into the early hours of the morning (John 18:12-18; Luke... read more
