MATTHEW 26:73 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.”
After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter: certainly you too are one of them, for your accent betrays you. The third identification: the Galilean accent that marks Peter as one of them. The accent that betrays him is the regional marker that the Jerusalem crowd recognizes as different from the Judean speech patterns.
