Luke 22:57
55 When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.
56 A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.
But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.
58 A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
59 About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
