But Peter denied it
The word "denied" comes from the Greek "ἀρνέομαι" (arneomai), which means to disown or repudiate. This moment is pivotal in Peter's life, as it fulfills Jesus' prophecy that Peter would deny Him three times before the rooster crowed. Historically, this denial occurs during Jesus' trial, a time of intense fear and confusion for the disciples. Peter's denial is a stark reminder of human frailty and the struggle between faith and fear. Despite his earlier boldness, Peter succumbs to the pressure of the moment, illustrating the need for divine strength in the face of trials.

'Woman, I do not know Him,'
The address "Woman" (Greek: "γύναι," gynai) is a common form of address in the New Testament, not disrespectful but rather a neutral term. Peter's statement, "I do not know Him," is a direct contradiction to his earlier declarations of loyalty to Jesus. The phrase "I do not know" (Greek: "οὐκ οἶδα," ouk oida) signifies a complete disassociation from Jesus, highlighting the depth of Peter's fear and the pressure of the situation. This denial is not just a personal failure but a fulfillment of Jesus' prediction, underscoring the foreknowledge of Christ and the fulfillment of His words.

he said
The phrase "he said" (Greek: "ἔφη," ephē) indicates Peter's verbal expression of denial. In the context of the narrative, this verbal denial is significant because it contrasts with Peter's earlier verbal affirmations of faithfulness. The act of speaking carries weight in biblical texts, as words often reflect the heart's condition. Peter's spoken denial is a moment of weakness, yet it sets the stage for his eventual repentance and restoration. This moment serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of our words and the grace available for redemption and forgiveness.
