Greek Commentary for Luke 22:59
Genitive absolute with second aorist active participle feminine singular of διιστημι diistēmi This classical verb in the N.T. is used only by Luke (Luke 22:59; Luke 24:51; Acts 27:28). It means standing in two or apart, about an hour intervening. [source]
Imperfect middle, he kept affirming strongly. An old verb Matthew 26:73 makes it plain that it was his speech that gave him away, which see note. [source]

The talk about Peter continued. Luke (Luke 22:59) states that the little while was about an hour. The bystanders came up to Peter and bluntly assert that he was “of a truth” His dialect (λαλια lalia) clearly revealed that he was a Galilean. The Galileans had difficulty with the gutterals and Peter‘s second denial had exposed him to the tormenting raillery of the loungers who continued to nag him. [source]
This talk about Peter was overheard by him. “This fellow (ουτος houtos) is one of them.” So in Mark 14:70 the talk is directly to Peter as in Matthew 26:73, but in Luke 22:59 it is about him. Soon the bystanders (οι παρεστωτες hoi parestōtes) will join in the accusation to Peter (Mark 14:70; Matthew 26:73), with the specially pungent question in John 18:26 which was the climax. See notes on Matthew 26:69-75 for discussion of similar details. [source]

Two periphrastic imperfects precisely as in John 18:18, vivid renewal of the picture drawn there. John alone gives the examination of Jesus by Annas (John 18:19-24) which he places between the first and the second denials by Peter. Each of the Four Gospels gives three denials, but it is not possible to make a clear parallel as probably several people joined in each time. This time there was an hour‘s interval (Luke 22:59). The question and answer are almost identical with John 18:17 and “put in a form which almost suggested that Peter should say ‹No‘” (Bernard), a favourite device of the devil in making temptation attractive.
