Context of Luke 22:55

53I was with you in the temple courtyard every day and you didn’t try to arrest me. But this is your time, when darkness rules.” 54So they arrested Jesus and led him away to the chief priest’s house. Peter followed at a distance. Some men had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard. As they sat together, Peter sat among them. 56A female servant saw him as he sat facing the glow of the fire. She stared at him and said, “This man was with Jesus.” 57But Peter denied it by saying, “I don’t know him, woman.”
