Luke 22:59-60

Luke 22:59-60

[59] And  about  the space  hour  after another  confidently affirmed,  saying,  Of  a truth  this  fellow also  with  him:  for  a Galilaean.  [60] And  Peter  said,  Man,  I know  not  what  thou sayest.  And  immediately,  while he  yet  spake,  the cock  crew. 

What does Luke 22:59-60 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Luke"s singular reference to an hour passing reflects his interest in the passing of time. The third accusation-this one spoken with conviction-came from another Prayer of Manasseh , a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off ( John 18:26). Luke omitted the oaths that Peter added to this denial ( Matthew 26:74; Mark 14:71). He also wrote that Peter denied knowledge of what the accuser meant, apparently in addition to his denying that he knew Jesus ( Matthew 26:74; Mark 14:71). Immediately the cock crowed as Jesus had predicted ( Luke 22:34).
