Peter, meanwhile, was sitting outside in the courtyard; and a maidservant came up to him, and exclaimed: "Why, you were with Jesus the Galilean!"

While Peter was in the court-yard down below, one of the High Priest's maidservants came up;

And there the maidservant, on seeing him, began to say again to the by-standers: "This is one of them!"

But should that servant say to himself 'My master is a long time coming,' and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk,

Presently a maidservant saw him sitting near the blaze of the fire. Fixing her eyes on him, she said: "Why, this man was one of his companions!"

So the maidservant said to Peter: "Are not you also one of this man's disciples?" "No, I am not," he said.

On his knocking at the door in the gate, a maidservant, named Rhoda, came to answer it.
