Context of Luke 22:56

54They seized him, led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. Meanwhile Peter was following at a distance. 55They lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, and Peter sat among them. When a servant saw him sitting in the light, and looked closely at him, she said, “This man was with him too.” 57But he denied it: “Woman, I don’t know him.” 58After a little while, someone else saw him and said, “You’re one of them too.” “Man, I am not!” Peter said.
