67 And G2532 when she saw G1492 Peter G4074 warming himself, G2328 she looked G1689 upon him, G846 and said, G3004 And G2532 thou G4771 also G2532 wast G2258 with G3326 Jesus G2424 of Nazareth. G3479
68 But G1161 he denied, G720 saying, G3004 I know G1492 not, G3756 neither G3761 understand I G1987 what G5101 thou G4771 sayest. G3004 And G2532 he went G1831 out G1854 into G1519 the porch; G4259 and G2532 the cock G220 crew. G5455
69 And G2532 a maid G3814 saw G1492 him G846 again, G3825 and began G756 to say G3004 to them that stood by, G3936 This G3754 G3778 is G2076 one of G1537 them. G846
70 And G1161 he denied it G720 again. G3825 And G2532 a little G3397 after, G3326 they that stood by G3936 said G3004 again G3825 to Peter, G4074 Surely G230 thou art G1488 one of G1537 them: G846 for G2532 G1063 thou art G1488 a Galilaean, G1057 and G2532 thy G4675 speech G2981 agreeth G3662 thereto.
71 But G1161 he began G756 to curse G332 and G2532 to swear, G3660 saying, I know G3754 G1492 not G3756 this G5126 man G444 of whom G3739 ye speak. G3004
72 And G2532 the G1537 second time G1208 the cock G220 crew. G5455 And G2532 Peter G4074 called to mind G363 the word G4487 that G3739 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto him, G846 G3754 Before G4250 the cock G220 crow G5455 twice, G1364 thou shalt deny G533 me G3165 thrice. G5151 And G2532 when he thought thereon, G1911 he wept. G2799

Commentary on Mark 14 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 14
In this chapter begins the account which this evangelist gives of the death and sufferings of our Lord Jesus, which we are all concerned to be acquainted, not only with the history of, but with the mystery of. Here is,
Most of which passages we had before, Mt. 26.
Mar 14:1-11
We have here instances,
Now,
Now see,
Mar 14:12-31
In these verses we have,
Now, in answer to their enquiry, Christ saith that,
But Christ encourages them with a promise that they shall rally again, shall return both to their duty and to their comfort (v. 28); "After I am risen, I will gather you in from all the places wither you are scattered, Eze. 34:12. I will go before you into Galilee, will see our friends, and enjoy one another there.'
Mar 14:32-42
Christ is here entering upon his sufferings, and begins with those which were the sorest of all his sufferings, those in his soul. Here we have him in his agony; this melancholy story we had in Matthew; this agony in soul was the wormwood and the gall in the affliction and misery; and thereby it appeared that no sorrow was forced upon him, but that it was what he freely admitted.
Now the consideration of Christ's sufferings in his soul, and his sorrows for us, should be of use to us,
As those whom Christ loves he rebukes when they do amiss, so those whom he rebukes he counsels and comforts.
Mar 14:43-52
We have here the seizing of our Lord Jesus by the officers of the chief priests. This was what his enemies had long aimed at, they had often sent to take him; but he had escaped out of their hands, because his hour was not come, nor could they now have taken him, had he not freely surrendered himself. He began first to suffer in his soul, but afterward suffered in his body, that he might satisfy for sin, which begins in the heart, but afterwards makes the members of the body instruments of unrighteousness.
Mar 14:53-65
We have here Christ's arraignment, trial, conviction, and condemnation, in the ecclesiastical court, before the great sanhedrim, of which the high priest was president, or judge of the court; the same Caiaphas that had lately adjudged it expedient he should be put to death, guilty or not guilty (Jn. 11:50), and who therefore might justly be excepted against as partial.
Mar 14:66-72
We have here the story of Peter's denying Christ.
