📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of Mark, this verse takes place during the night of Jesus' arrest, as He was being tried before the high priest in Jerusalem. Peter, one of Jesus' closest disciples, had followed Jesus at a distance and was waiting in the courtyard, where he was trying to blend in among the people. A servant girl spotted him for the second time and accused him of being one of Jesus' followers, heightening the tension of Peter's impending denials.
