Context of Luke 22:56

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. 55And they having lit a fire in the midst of the court and sat down together, Peter sat among them. And 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. 58And after a short time another seeing him said, And thou art of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.
