maid
Peter's denial.
Compare (Matthew 26:69); (Mark 14:69); (Luke 22:58); (John 18:25).
A discrepancy has been imagined in these accounts. Let it be remembered that an excited crowd had gathered, and that Peter was interrogated in two places: "With the servants" (Matthew 26:58) where the first charge was made (Matthew 26:69); "the porch" where a great number of people would be gathered, and where the second and third interrogations were made by "another maid" and by the crowd, that is, "they"; (Matthew 26:71); (Matthew 26:73); (John 18:25).
