A servant girl saw him sitting there. She could see because of the light from the fire. She looked closely at Peter’s face. Then she said, “This man was also with Jesus.”
The girl at the gate said to Peter, “Are you also one of the followers of that man?” Peter answered, “No, I am not!”
In the evening Jesus went to that house with the twelve apostles.
Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why are you giving her such trouble? She did a very good thing for me.
While Peter was sitting outside in the yard, a servant girl came up to him. She said, “You were with Jesus, that man from Galilee.”
Again Jesus laid his hands on the man’s eyes, and the man opened them wide. His eyes were healed, and he was able to see everything clearly.
The soldiers started a fire in the middle of the yard and sat together. Peter sat with them.
But Peter said this was not true. He said, “Lady, I don’t know him.”
