Context of Luke 22:55

53When I was day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness. 54And having laid hold on him, they led him [away], and they led [him] into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off. And they having lit a fire in the midst of the court and sat down together, Peter sat among them. 56And a certain maid, having seen him sitting by the light, and having fixed her eyes upon him, said, And this [man] was with him. 57But he denied [him], saying, Woman, I do not know him.
