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!"
Peter, meanwhile, was sitting outside in the courtyard; and a maidservant came up to him, and exclaimed: "Why, you were with Jesus the Galilean!"
In the evening he went there with the Twelve,
"Let her alone," said Jesus, as they began to find fault with her, "why are you troubling her? This is a beautiful deed that she has done for me.
Then Jesus again placed his hands on the man's eyes; and the man saw clearly, his sight was restored, and he saw everything with perfect distinctness.
But, when they had lit a fire in the center of the court-yard and had all sat down there, Peter seated himself in the middle of them.
But Peter denied it. "I do not know him," he replied.
So the maidservant said to Peter: "Are not you also one of this man's disciples?" "No, I am not," he said.
