might have known Jesus without being a disciple. To deny all knowledge was the strongest form of denial. Besides it was less cowardly to deny to aman than to a woman.—Ver. 59. διαστάσης Spas, at the distance of an hour; the verb here used of time, in xxiv. 51 and Acts xxvii. 28 of place. This interval of an hour is peculiar to Lk. Peter in the course of that time would begin to think that no further annoyance was to be looked {οτ.---δεϊσχυρίζετο, ἐπ᾽ ἀληθείας: these expressions imply that the previous denials had partly served their purpose for a time, and put the attendants off the idea that Peter was of the company of Jesus. After watching Peter, and listening to his speech, a third gains courage to reaffirm the position = I am sure he is after all one of them, for, etc. —Ver. 60. ἄνθρωπε, etc., man, I don’t know what you are saying—under shelter of the epithet Γαλιλαῖος, pretending igno- ance of what the man said—an evasion vather than a denial, with no cursing and protesting accompanying. A mon- strous minimising of the offence, if Lk. had Mk.’s account before him, thinks J. Weiss ; therefore he infers he had not, but drew from a Jewish-Christian source with a milder account. What if he had both before him, and preferred the milder ?—2evygev Gdex., immediately after the cock crew ; but in Lk.’s account

the reaction is not brought about thereby. In the parallels, in which Peter appears worked up to a paroxysm, a reaction might be looked for at any moment on the slightest occasion, the crowing of the cock recalling Christ’s words abund- antly sufficient. But in Lk. there is no paroxysm, therefore more is needed to bring about reaction, and more accord- ingly is mentioned.—Ver. 61. στραφεὶς, etc., the Lord, turning, looked at Peter ; that look, not the cock crowing, recalled the prophetic word of Jesus, and brought about the penitent reaction.—trep.vycOn, remembered, was reminded, passive here only in N.T.—Ver. 62 exactly as in Mt.
Vv. 63-65. Indignities (Mt. xxvi. 67- 68, Mk. xiv. 65). In Mt. and Mk. these come after the trial during the night which Lk. omits. In his narrative the hours of early morning spent by Jesus in the palace of the high priest are filled up by the denial of Peter and the out- rages of the men who had taken Jesus into custody (οἱ συνέχοντες αὐτὸν).--- Ver. 63. ἐνέπαιζον, mocked, in place of the more brutal spitting in parallels.— δέροντες, smiting (the whole body), instead of the more special and insulting slapping in the face (κολαφίζειν).---Ψετ. 64. περικαλύψαντες, covering (the face understood, τὸ πρόσωπον in Mk.)— προφήτευσον, Ths, etc. : Lk. here follows Mt., not Mk., who has simply the verb
