another: A maid challenged Peter in the second instance, according to Matthew and Mark; yet here it is said ετερος \[Strong's G2087\], another (man) and he also answers to a man. But ετερος \[Strong's G2087\], as Wetstein shows, may be, and is in innumerable instances applied to a female; and Matthew says, "she said to them that were there," and Mark, "she began to say to them that stood by." So that the maid gave the information to those around her, and some man charged Peter with it. Probably several joined in the accusation, though he answered to an individual, for John says, "They said unto him," etc. Mat 26:71, Mat 26:72; Mar 14:69, Mar 14:70; Joh 18:25 Luke 22:59
