Context of Mark 14:68

66Now 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.” But he denied it: “I don’t even understand what you’re talking about!” Then he went out to the gateway, and a rooster crowed. 69When the slave girl saw him, she began again to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them.” 70But he denied it again. A short time later the bystanders again said to Peter, “You must be one of them, because you are also a Galilean.”

And he went out into the porch--the vestibule leading to the street--no doubt finding the fire-place too hot for him; possibly also with the hope of escaping--but that was not to be, and perhaps he dreaded that, too.
