Context of Mark 14:66

64You have heard the blasphemy! What is your verdict?” They all condemned him as deserving death. 65Then some began to spit on him, and to blindfold him, and to strike him with their fists, saying, “Prophesy!” The guards also took him and beat him. Now while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the high priest’s slave girls came by. 67When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked directly at him and said, “You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus.” 68But he denied it: “I don’t even understand what you’re talking about!” Then he went out to the gateway, and a rooster crowed.
