A servant girl In the context of Luke 22:56, the mention of "a servant girl" is significant. The Greek word used here is "παιδίσκη" (paidiskē), which refers to a young female servant or slave. This highlights the social dynamics of the time, where even those of low social standing, like a servant girl, played pivotal roles in the unfolding of significant events. Her presence at the high priest's courtyard suggests the inclusivity of the gathering, where people of various social standings were present. This also underscores the humility of Christ's followers, who were not from the elite but from ordinary backgrounds. saw him seated there in the firelight looked intently at him and said This man was also with Him Earnestly looked upon him.--The verb and adverb are both expressed by St. Luke's characteristic word. (See Note on Luke 4:20.) This man was also with him.--Minute as the coincidence is, it is interesting to note that it is through St. John's narrative that we get the explanation of the "also." St. John had been already seen and known as a disciple of Jesus (John 18:15). Verse 56. - But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. Comparing the several accounts of the evangelists together, we see how naturally the incidents followed each other. As he entered, the portress first thought she recognized him as one of the followers of the well-known Teacher just arrested on a capital charge. Then as, weary and chilled, he drew near the fire, the firelight shone on his face, a face known to many who had listened during the last few days to his Master as he taught, with his disciples grouped round him in the temple-courts before crowds of listeners. Thoroughly alarmed, he drew aside from the friendly warmth of the fire into the outer shade of the gateway; yet he could not tear himself away from the neighborhood of the spot where his dear Master was being interrogated by his deadly foes; and even there, while lurking in the shadow, he was recognized again, and then, just as he was in the act of fiercely denying, with oaths and curses, his friendship for and connection with Jesus, came the Master by, after the second examination before Caiaphas and certain members of the Sanhedrin, being conducted by the guard to another and more formal court. And as the Master passed, he turned and looked upon his poor cowardly disciple.Parallel Commentaries ...
