John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And about the space of one hour after,.... After the first assault, or rather after the second: another confidently affirmed; who was one of them that stood by the fireside, and heard what had passed; and not only so, but was a kinsman to him, whose ear Peter had cut off, and who had seen him in the garden with Christ, and therefore with all...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. The Saviour had been standing in the upper part of the room,...

And Peter said, man, I know not what thou sayest,.... Suggesting, that he was so far from being a follower of Jesus, or a disciple of his, and from having any personal acquaintance with him, that he did not know what he was talking of, or at least could not understand what he meant by this harangue, or by talking after this manner about him; and...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. Another Evangelist tells us that he began to curse and to swear, as if that was the surest proof that he could possibly give that he did not know Jesus; for, when you hear a man swear, you know at once that he is no Christian, you may conclude that safely enough. So Peter thought that, to prove...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. God has all things in his hands, he has servants everywhere, and the cock shall crow, by the secret movement of his providence, just when God wills; and there is, perhaps, as much of divine ordination about the crowing of a cock as about the ascending...

And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. How that look must have pierced Peter through and through!
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And the Lord turned,.... Himself, his back being to Peter, whilst he was examining before the high priest; but he knew full well what was doing, what had been said to Peter, and how often he had denied him: and looked upon Peter; with his bodily eyes, with great earnestness, expressing in his looks concern and pity for him; for it was a look, not...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. How many there are, who sin with Peter, but who never weep with Peter! Oh, if we have ever transgressed in such a way as he did, let us never cease to weep! Above all, let us begin at once to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? Upon this...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. That cock crowing had come at the very moment Christ had foretold, for Peter had already denied his Master thrice.

And Peter went out and wept bitterly. [See comments on Matthew 26:75].
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. Now hear what John has to say about this matter. He wrote after the other three Evangelists, and he generally supplies their deficiencies. He it is who tells us how Simon Peter got into the hall. (See Joh_18:15-18; Joh_18:25-27) This exposition consisted of readings from Mat_26:31-35; Mat_26:57-58;...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And the men that held Jesus,.... Whilst he was before the sanhedrim; and were either the Roman soldiers, or the servants of the high priest, who kept hold of him all the while, lest he should get away; though there was no reason for it; his time was come, nor would he escape out of their hands, though he could easily have rescued himself: mocked...

And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? And many other things blasphemously spake they against him. And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And when they had blindfolded him,.... Or put a veil, or linen cloth over his eyes, as children do at play, to make themselves some sport with him: they struck him on the face; on that part of it which was not covered, either with their hands, or with rods: and asked him, saying, prophesy, who is it that smote thee? hereby deriding his prophetic...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And many other things blasphemously spake they,.... As denying and ridiculing his deity, and divine sonship; mocking at, and burlesquing his offices, of prophet, priest, and king; asserting him to be a mere man, and a very wicked one; a profane sinner, a glutton, and a winebibber; a sabbath breaker, a blasphemer, and a seditious person; and one...

And many other things blasphemously spake they against him. The Lord bless to us all the reading of this sad, sad story! Amen.
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And as soon as it was day,.... [See comments on Matthew 27:1]. The elders of the people; or "the presbytery of the people", that were chosen from among the people to sit in the sanhedrim; the Israelites, as distinct from priests and Levites, and the doctors: and the chief priests and the Scribes came together; which made up the great sanhedrim, or...

Saying, art thou the Christ,.... The Messiah, promised and prophesied of by Moses, and all the prophets, and long expected by us: "tell us". The Ethiopic version adds, openly; tell us frankly, freely, plainly, as in John 10:24. And he said unto them, if I tell you, you will not believe. The Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions read, "will not believe...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And if I also ask you,.... Or enter into a discourse on this subject, and require an answer to the arguments, proving me to be the Messiah, or desire to know what objections can be made thereunto: you will not answer me: fairly and directly, or go into a serious and sober conversation on this head: nor let me "go"; or dismiss me, though I should...
