A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
And he denied it again--In Luke (Luk 22:58), "Man, I am not." But worst of all in Matthew--"And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man" (Mat 26:72). This was the Second Denial, more vehement, alas! than the first. Peter's THIRD DENIAL of His Lord (Mar 14:70-72). And a little after--"about the space of one hour after" (Luk 22:59). they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech agreeth thereto--"bewrayeth [or 'discovereth'] thee" (Mat 26:73). In Luke (Luk 22:59) it is, "Another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this [fellow] also was with him: for he is a Galilean." The Galilean dialect had a more Syrian cast than that of Judea. If Peter had held his peace, this peculiarity had not been observed; but hoping, probably, to put them off the scent by joining in the fireside talk, he was thus discovered. The Fourth Gospel is particularly interesting here: "One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman [or kinsman to him] whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with Him?" (Joh 18:26). No doubt his relationship to Malchus drew his attention to the man who had smitten him, and this enabled him to identify Peter. "Sad reprisals!" exclaims BENGEL. Poor Peter! Thou art caught in thine own toils; but like a wild bull in a net, thou wilt toss and rage, filling up the measure of thy terrible declension by one more denial of thy Lord, and that the foulest of all.

²⁶ One [1520] of [1537] the servants [1401] of the high priest [749], being [5607] his kinsman [4773] whose [3739] ear [5621] Peter [4074] cut off [609], saith [3004], Did [1492] not [3756] I [1473] see [1492] thee [4571] in [1722] the garden [2779] with [3326] him [846]?

⁵⁹ And [2532] about [5616] the space [1339] of one [3391] hour [5610] after another [243] [5100] confidently affirmed [1340], saying [3004], Of [1909] a truth [225] this [3778] fellow also [2532] was [2258] with [3326] him [846]: for [1063] [2532] he is [2076] a Galilaean [1057].

⁷³ And [1161] after [3326] a while [3397] came unto him they [4334] that stood by [2476], and said [2036] to Peter [4074], Surely [230] thou [4771] also [2532] art [1488] one of [1537] them [846]; for [1063] [2532] thy [4675] speech [2981] bewrayeth [1212] thee [4571] [4160].

⁷⁰ And [1161] he denied it [720] again [3825]. And [2532] a little [3397] after [3326], they that stood by [3936] said [3004] again [3825] to Peter [4074], Surely [230] thou art [1488] one of [1537] them [846]: for [2532] [1063] thou art [1488] a Galilaean [1057], and [2532] thy [4675] speech [2981] agreeth [3662] thereto.
⁷¹ But [1161] he began [756] to curse [332] and [2532] to swear [3660], saying, I know [3754] [1492] not [3756] this [5126] man [444] of whom [3739] ye speak [3004].
⁷² And [2532] the [1537] second time [1208] the cock [220] crew [5455]. And [2532] Peter [4074] called to mind [363] the word [4487] that [3739] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], [3754] Before [4250] the cock [220] crow [5455] twice [1364], thou shalt deny [533] me [3165] thrice [5151]. And [2532] when he thought thereon [1911], he wept [2799].

⁷² And [2532] again [3825] he denied [720] with [3326] an oath [3727], [3754] I do [1492] not [3756] know [1492] the man [444].

⁵⁸ And [2532] after [3326] a little while [1024] another [2087] saw [1492] him [846], and said [5346], Thou [4771] art [1488] also [2532] of [1537] them [846]. And [1161] Peter [4074] said [2036], Man [444], I am [1510] not [3756].
