63And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What further need have we of witnesses?
64Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be worthy of death.
65And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the officers received him with blows of their hands.
66And as Peter was beneath in the court, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest;
67and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and saith, Thou also wast with the Nazarene, [even] Jesus.
68But he denied, saying, I neither know, nor understand what thou sayest: and he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
69And the maid saw him, and began again to say to them that stood by, This is [one] of them.

John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And as Peter was beneath in the palace, etc..] Not at the lower and further end of the room, but in the lower part of it; that part in which Jesus and the sanhedrim were, being upon an advanced ground, with steps ascending to it: there cometh one of the maids of the high priest; the same that kept the door, and let him in. The Ethiopic version renders it, “a daughter of the high priest”.”
