It occurs during the night of Jesus' arrest, a time filled with fear and uncertainty for His followers. The delay may have given Peter a false sense of security, thinking he had escaped notice.those standing nearby came up to Peter The setting is the courtyard of the high priest, where Peter had followed Jesus after His arrest. The people nearby were likely servants, guards, and others associated with the high priest's household. This setting is significant as it places Peter in a hostile environment, surrounded by those who were against Jesus.“Surely you are one of them,” they said The accusation is direct and confident, suggesting that Peter's association with Jesus was well-known. This reflects the growing tension and suspicion among the people present. The phrase "one of them" indicates the group of Jesus' disciples, who were becoming increasingly notorious due to Jesus' arrest.“for your accent gives you away.” Peter was from Galilee, a region in the north of Israel, and his accent would have been distinct from the Judeans in Jerusalem. This detail highlights the cultural and linguistic diversity within Israel at the time. The Galilean accent was often looked down upon by the Judeans, adding a layer of prejudice to the accusation.

About an hour, according to St. Luke. Meantime had occurred the examination and informal condemnation of Christ, followed by the brutalities of the attendants, and the Lord's temporary consignment to some chamber or gallery that overlooked the courtyard. The excitement of the trial and its accompaniments having somewhat subsided, attention was again turned upon Peter, who, in his nervous trepidation, could not remain quiet and silent, but aroused observation by his indiscreet movements and garrulity. They that stood by. Among whom, as St. John notes, was a kinsman of Malthus, who indistinctly remembered hating seen Peter at Gethsemane. Probably by this time some rumour of the presence of a disciple of Jesus had spread among the crowd, and there arose an eager desire to discover him. If Peter had not talked, he might have escaped further notice. Thy speech bewrayeth thee; makes thee known. His dialect (for doubtless he spoke Aramaic) showed that he was a Galilaean, and as most of Christ's adherents came from that region, they inferred that he was one of Christ's disciples. The language and pronunciation of the northern district differed materially from the polished dialect of Judaea and Jerusalem, and its provincialisms were readily detected. The Galilaeans, we are told, could not properly pronounce the guttural letters, aleph, kheth, and ayin, and used tau for shin, pe for beth, etc.; they also often omitted syllables in words, occasioning equivocal mistakes, which afforded much amusement to the better instructed. <a href="/commentaries/matthew/26-73.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>After Μετὰ (Meta) Preposition <a href="/greek/strongs_3326.htm">Strong's 3326: </a> (a) gen: with, in company with, (b) acc: (1) behind, beyond, after, of place, (2) after, of time, with nouns, neut. of adjectives. a little while, μικρὸν (mikron) Adjective - Accusative Neuter Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3398.htm">Strong's 3398: </a> Little, small.
