14:63
The High Priest knew that Jesus was claiming to be the Messiah, as far as he was concerned they had all they needed.They all agreed on this. They had all the evidence they needed
14:64,65
Jesus’ words if 14:62 were considered to be claiming equality with God, and so were considered to be blasphemy. Therefore, as far as the religious leaders were concerned the vase was over and Jeus deserved to die.
14:66
Peter now begins his denials. A servant girl confronts Peter, asking if he was with Jesus, implying that she had seen him with Jesus.Peter quickly denied this. \why did he do this, maybe out of fear, maybe our of just not thinking, not being prepared.
14:67-72
Peter may have thought he was escaping scrutiny, but there was no escape. Another servant girl saw him and studied him closely, she recognized that he had been with Jesus and told him so. Again, Peter denied it yet again Peer tried to escape, and yet again failed. The more accusations, the more vehemently Peter denied knowing Jesus. Then the cock crowed s second time and peter remembered Jesus’ words . Peter realised what a failure he was, and broke down and cried bitterly.
