And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
And when she saw Peter warming himself she looked upon him Lke (Luke 22:56) is here more graphic; And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him. Luke (Luke 22:56) is here more graphic; "But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire" х pros (G4314) to (G3588) foos (G5457)] - literally, 'by the light,' which, shining full upon him, revealed him to the girl - "and earnestly looked upon him" х kai (G2532) atenisasa (G816) autoo (G846)] - or, 'fixed her gave upon him.' His demeanour and timidity, which must have attracted notice, as so generally happens, 'leading,' says Olshausen, 'to the recognition of him.'
And said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth - `with Jesus the Nazarene,' or, "with Jesus of Galilee" (Matthew 26:69). The sense of this is given in John's report of it (John 18:17), "Art not thou also one of this man's disciple?" that is, thou as well as "that other disciple," whom she knew to be one, but did not challenge, perceiving that he was a privileged person. In Luke (Luke 22:56) it is given as a remark made by the maid to one of the bystanders - "this man was also with Him." If so expressed in Peter's hearing-drawing upon him the eyes of everyone that heard it (as we know it did, Matthew 26:70), and compelling him to answer to it-that would explain the different forms of the report naturally enough. But in such a case this is of no real importance.
