A short time later
This phrase indicates the immediacy and continuity of the events following Peter's first denial. The Greek word used here, "μετὰ βραχὺ" (meta brachy), suggests a brief interval, emphasizing the rapid succession of Peter's denials. Historically, this reflects the intense pressure and fear Peter was experiencing as events unfolded quickly around him. The setting is the courtyard of the high priest, a place filled with tension and danger for Jesus' followers.

someone else saw him
The Greek word for "saw" is "ἰδών" (idōn), which implies a recognition or realization. This suggests that Peter was being closely observed, and his association with Jesus was becoming increasingly apparent to those around him. The historical context here is crucial; Jerusalem was bustling with people due to the Passover, and the heightened awareness of Jesus' arrest would have made any of His followers more conspicuous.

and said, 'You also are one of them.'
The phrase "one of them" indicates a clear distinction being made between Jesus' followers and others. The Greek "καὶ σὺ ἐξ αὐτῶν εἶ" (kai sy ex autōn ei) underscores the accusatory tone. This reflects the societal division and suspicion towards Jesus' disciples at the time. Theologically, this moment highlights the cost of discipleship and the fear of association with Christ during times of persecution.

But Peter said, 'Man, I am not!'
Peter's response is emphatic and defensive. The Greek "ἄνθρωπε, οὐκ εἰμί" (anthrōpe, ouk eimi) uses "ἄνθρωπε" (anthrōpe), a term for "man" or "human," which can convey a sense of distancing or dismissal. This denial is significant in the scriptural narrative, as it fulfills Jesus' prophecy of Peter's denials (Luke 22:34). From a conservative Christian perspective, this moment is a poignant reminder of human frailty and the need for divine grace. Peter's denial, despite his earlier bold declarations of loyalty, serves as a humbling lesson on the challenges of faithfulness under pressure.

(58) Man.--The noun so used in the vocative always implies a certain touch of anger or impatience. (See Note on Luke 12:14.)
