Mark 14:66-67

Context
Peter’s Denials

14:66 Now 3  while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the high priest’s slave girls 4  came by. 14:67 When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked directly at him and said, “You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus.”

1 tn Grk “Answering, Peter said to him.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified to “Peter answered him.”

2 tn Or “the Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

sn The term χριστός (cristos) was originally an adjective (“anointed”), developing in LXX into a substantive (“an anointed one”), then developing still further into a technical generic term (“the anointed one”). In the intertestamental period it developed further into a technical term referring to the hoped-for anointed one, that is, a specific individual. In the NT the development starts there (technical-specific), is so used in the gospels, and then develops in Paul to mean virtually Jesus’ last name.

3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

4 tn The Greek term here is παιδίσκη (paidiskh), referring to a slave girl or slave woman.
