Luke 22:57

But Peter ¹  denied it: “Woman, ²  I don’t know ³  him!”

Mt 10:33; Mt 26:70; Lu 12:9; Lu 22:33,34; Joh 18:25,27; Ac 3:13,14,19; 2Ti 2:10-12; 1Jo 1:9

¹ tn Grk “he denied it, saying.” The referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity. The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant and has not been translated.

² sn Woman was a polite form of address (see BDAG 208-9 s.v. γυνή), similar to “Madam” or “Ma’am” used in English in different regions.

³ sn The expression “I do not know him” had an idiomatic use in Jewish ban formulas in the synagogue and could mean, “I have nothing to do with him.”
