What Does Mark 14:67 Mean?
The firelight that warmed Peter also lit his face. The maid studies him — Luke says she earnestly looked upon him (Luke 22:56) — and states it plainly: And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
Her words are not even an accusation, only a recognition: you were with him. That had been the heart of his calling — Jesus ordained twelve, that they should be with him (Mark 3:14). Now the association that was his glory feels like a danger. Every disciple eventually meets this moment, when being identified with Jesus carries a cost; what is said next reveals what the heart holds.
