And he said, etc.] “To him”, as all the Oriental versions add; to Peter, as what is said shows; that is, Jesus said to him, as the Syriac and Persic versions express: I tell thee, Peter; who knew him, and his heart, better than he did himself, as well as knew what was to come, and what would befall him; and therefore declares it, as he does with the greatest assurance and certainty, and which might be depended on, and accordingly came to pass: the cock shall not crow this day; in this night, as in (<411430>Mark 14:30) or this night, as in (<402634>Matthew 26:34) for it was now night; a natural day includes both night and day; a like way of speaking, see in (<420208>Luke 2:8,11) before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me; as he did, (<422257>Luke 22:57,58,60). (See Gill on “<402634>Matthew 26:34”).
