MARK 14:69 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
Mark 14:68Mark 14:70
“And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.”
When the servant girl saw him there, she began again to say to the bystanders, this fellow is one of them — the second challenge is more public: the servant girl speaks to the bystanders, widening the group who hear the accusation. The this fellow one of them is the identification of Peter with the arrested Jesus.

Church Fathers on Mark 14:69

Concerning the temptation of Peter, which happened during the injuries mentioned, all the Evangelists do not speak in the same order. For Luke first relates the temptation of Peter, then these injuries of the Lord; but John begins to speak of the temptation of Peter, and then puts in some things concerning our Lord’s ill-treatment, and adds, that He was sent from there to Caiaphas the High Priest, and then he goes back to unfold the temptation of Peter, which he had begun.

Augustine · 4th century

But what can be meant by his being first recognized by a woman, when men were more able to know him, if it be not that that sex might be seen to sin in the death of our Lord, and that sex be redeemed by His Passion?

Bede · 8th century

Peter when he had not the Spirit yielded and lost courage at the voice of a girl, though with the Spirit he was not afraid before princes and kings.
