Context of Luke 22:55

53Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour—when darkness reigns.” 54Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance. And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. 56A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.” 57But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said.
