And when they had kindled a fire The act of kindling a fire in the courtyard is significant both practically and symbolically. In the Greek, the word for "kindled" (ἅπτω, haptō) implies lighting or igniting, which is a common practice for warmth and light. Historically, fires were central to gatherings, providing a place for people to come together. Symbolically, the fire represents a place of exposure and vulnerability for Peter, as he is about to face a test of his faith. The fire illuminates not only the physical surroundings but also the spiritual and moral challenges Peter is about to encounter. in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together Peter sat down among them Of the hall.--Better, of the court-yard--"hall" with us conveying the idea of a covered space inside the house. Verse 55. - And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. We know that the arrest in Gethsemane was followed by the flight of the eleven apostles. John and Peter, however, once out of reach of the armed band, seem in some way to have recovered from their first panic, and to have followed their Master and his guards into the city. Arrived at the high priest's house, John, who was known to the high priest, had no difficulty in procuring admission for himself and his companion. Peter's motive in pressing into what he knew for him was a locality full of peril, is given by St. Matthew (Matthew 26:58), "to see the end." There was no doubt there was in the heart of the impulsive, loving man, sorrowful anxiety and deep sorrow for his dear Master's fate. But, alas! with the feverish sad expectation to see what he felt would be the end, there was no earnest prayer for guidance and help. The fire is mentioned because, generally speaking, the nights in the Holy Land about the Passover season are warm. The cold on this night appears to be spoken of as something unusual. Peter sat down among them. "St. John (it must be supposed) had passed on into the audience-chamber, so that St. Peter was alone.
