There the servant girl saw him
The phrase begins with the location "there," indicating a specific place within the high priest's courtyard where Peter was warming himself by the fire. The "servant girl" is a key figure in this narrative, representing the seemingly insignificant individuals who play pivotal roles in God's unfolding plan. In Greek, the word for "servant girl" is "παιδίσκη" (paidiskē), which denotes a young female servant. Her role is significant as she is the catalyst for Peter's denial, highlighting how God can use anyone, regardless of social status, to fulfill His purposes. The act of "seeing" (Greek: "ὁράω" - horaō) implies more than just physical sight; it suggests recognition and understanding, as she identifies Peter as a follower of Jesus.

and again said to those standing nearby
The word "again" indicates repetition, emphasizing the persistence of the servant girl in her accusation. This repetition is crucial as it sets the stage for Peter's subsequent denials. The phrase "said to those standing nearby" suggests a public declaration, increasing the pressure on Peter. The Greek word for "said" is "λέγω" (legō), which can imply a formal or authoritative statement. The "standing nearby" refers to the bystanders, possibly other servants or guards, who were present in the courtyard. This public setting heightens the tension and the potential for Peter's association with Jesus to be exposed.

'This man is one of them.'
The phrase "This man" is a direct reference to Peter, highlighting his identity and singling him out from the crowd. The Greek word "οὗτος" (houtos) is demonstrative, pointing specifically to Peter. The accusation "is one of them" is significant as it identifies Peter as a disciple of Jesus. The Greek phrase "ἐξ αὐτῶν" (ex autōn) means "of them," indicating belonging or association. This accusation is not just about physical presence but implies a deeper connection to Jesus and His mission. Historically, being identified as a follower of Jesus during this time could lead to persecution, making Peter's fear and subsequent denial understandable from a human perspective. This moment serves as a poignant reminder of human frailty and the challenges of discipleship, calling believers to rely on God's strength in moments of trial.

(69) A maid.--Better, the maid--i.e., the one that had pointed him out before.
