Cross References

ReferenceText (BSB)
1 John 18:26–27 One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Didn’t I see you with Him in the garden?” Peter denied it once more, and immediately a rooster crowed.
2 Mark 14:69–70 There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.” But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”
3 Matthew 26:73–74 After a little while, those standing nearby came up to Peter. “Surely you are one of them,” they said, “for your accent gives you away.” At that he began to curse and swear to them, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.

Luke 22:59 Summary

This verse, Luke 22:59, shows how Peter was accused of being with Jesus because of his Galilean accent and association. Just like Peter, we may face situations where we are tempted to deny our faith or hide our relationship with Jesus. But as followers of Jesus, we are called to be brave and faithful, even in the face of opposition, and to trust in God's power to give us the words to say, as seen in (Luke 12:11-12) and (Matthew 10:28-33). By learning from Peter's experience, we can be more prepared to stand firm in our faith and give a defense for what we believe, as seen in (1 Peter 3:14).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the people around Peter accuse him of being with Jesus?

They likely accused Peter because of his Galilean accent and association, as seen in Luke 22:59, which says 'for he too is a Galilean', indicating that his regional identity may have given him away as a follower of Jesus, similar to how Jesus Himself was identified by His accent in Matthew 26:73.

How did Peter respond to the accusations?

Peter denied any knowledge of Jesus, as seen in the surrounding verses, Luke 22:57 and Luke 22:60, where he says 'I do not know Him' and 'I do not know what you are talking about', demonstrating his fear and lack of faith in the face of persecution, which Jesus had warned about in Matthew 10:28-33.

What can we learn from Peter's experience about facing accusations and persecution?

We can learn that even in the face of adversity, we must remain faithful and trust in God's power, as seen in Luke 22:61-62, where Jesus looks at Peter after his denial, and in 1 Peter 3:14, where Peter later writes about not fearing persecution but instead being prepared to give a defense for our faith.

How does this verse relate to the larger story of Jesus' arrest and crucifixion?

This verse is part of the narrative of Jesus' arrest and crucifixion, as seen in Luke 22:47-53, where Jesus is taken into custody, and it sets the stage for Peter's eventual repentance and restoration, as seen in John 21:15-17, where Jesus reinstates Peter as a leader in His church.

Reflection Questions

  1. What are some ways that I, like Peter, may be tempted to deny my association with Jesus in the face of opposition or persecution?
  2. How can I, like Jesus, remain faithful and calm in the face of adversity, trusting in God's power and sovereignty, as seen in Psalm 23:4 and Isaiah 43:2?
  3. What are some practical ways that I can prepare myself to face accusations or persecution, as Peter later writes about in 1 Peter 3:14, and how can I trust in God's power to give me the words to say, as seen in Luke 12:11-12?
  4. How can I learn from Peter's experience to be more mindful of my own actions and words, and to be more prepared to give a defense for my faith, as seen in 1 Peter 3:15?

Ellicott's Commentary on Luke 22:59

(59) About the space of one hour after.—Literally, about one hour having intervened, the verb so rendered being peculiar to St. Luke in the New Testament (Luke 24:51; Acts 27:28). Confidently affirmed.—This word also is peculiar to St. Luke (Acts 12:15).

Cambridge Bible on Luke 22:59

59. about the space of one hour after] To St Peter it must have been one of the most terrible hours of his life.another] Here again the main charge was prominently made by one —a kinsman of Malchus, who had seen Peter in the garden, and was known to St John from his acquaintance with the High Priest’s household (John 18:26, συγγενης); but others came up (προσελθόντεςοἱἑστῶτες, Matthew 26:73; οἱπαρεστῶτες, Mark 14:70), and joined in it, and this is implied by St Mark’s “kept saying to Peter” (ἔλεγον).for he is a Galilean] This they could at once tell by the misplaced gutturals of the provincial dialect which ‘bewrayed him’ (i.e. pointed him out).
