And he denied it again, etc..] That he was one of the disciples of Jesus: and a little after; about an hour after, (<422259>Luke 22:59); they that stood by, said again to Peter, surely thou art one of them; one confidently affirmed that he was with Jesus, and another challenged him with seeing him in the garden with him, (<422259>Luke 22:59) (<431826>John 18:26), and in general they were of opinion, that he must be one of that sect, giving this as a reason, for thou art a Galilean: as they supposed Jesus to be; and knowing that in Galilee he had chiefly preached, and wrought his miracles, and had there a large number of followers: and thy speech agreeth [thereto]; he used words and phrases peculiar to the Galileans, and pronounced as they did: (see Gill on “<402673>Matthew 26:73”). This clause is omitted in the Vulgate Latin, and is wanting in Beza's most ancient copy; but is in the other copies, and in all the eastern versions.
