What Does Mark 14:69 Mean?
The maid is not finished. Seeing Peter again near the entryway, she tells the others standing about, This is one of them. The danger he fled at the fire has followed him to the porch, and now the bystanders are involved.
One denial has not bought safety, only a harder second test; compromise never closes the question, it reopens it on worse terms. And there is an irony in her charge: This is one of them is the truest and finest thing said about Peter all night. He is one of them — one of Christ's — but in the hour of fear, the honor of belonging looks like an accusation to escape.
