Matius 26:69-71

Peter’s Denials

26:69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A ¹  slave girl ²  came to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.” 26:70 But he denied it in front of them all: ³  “I don’t know what you’re talking about!” 26:71 When ⁴  he went out to the gateway, another slave girl ⁵  saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.”

[26:69]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[26:69]  ² tn The Greek term here is παιδίσκη (paidiskh), referring to a slave girl or slave woman.

[26:70]  ³ tn Grk “he denied it…saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in English and has not been translated.

[26:71]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[26:71]  ⁵ tn The words “slave girl” are not in the Greek text, but are implied by the feminine singular form ἄλλη (allh).
