Context of Matthew 26:69

67Then they spat in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, 68Saying, Prophesy to us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee? Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard: and a maid came to him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. 70But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. 71And when he had gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said to them that were there, This man was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

Commentaries on Matthew 26:69

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 69A damsel came unto him - A maid servant, . See this translation vindicated by Kypke.

Constables and maid servants are no company for an apostle, except when he is delivering to them the message of salvation. Evil communications corrupt good manners. Had Peter been in…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 69Now Peter sat without in the palace - Mark says the first denial took place while Peter was “beneath in the palace.” This “palace” was the large hall or court belonging to the residence of the high priest.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 69-75Verses 69-75 Peter's sin is truly related, for the Scriptures deal faithfully.
