And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.

And again a maidservant seeing him, began to say to the standers by: This is one of them.

And the maid, seeing him, again began to say to those that stood by, This is one of them.

And the maid having seen him again, began to say to those standing near, 'This is of them;'

Again the maidservant saw him, and again began to say to the people standing by, "He is one of them."

And the girl saw him, and said again to those who were near, This is one of them.

And the servant girl saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, 'This is one of them.'

Then again, when a maidservant had seen him, she began to say to the bystanders, "For this is one of them."

and there the maidservant, on seeing him, began to say again to the bystanders, "This is one of them!"

And (q) a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is [one] of them.
(q) If we carefully compare the evangelists together we will perceive that Peter was known by many through the maiden's report: furthermore, when the second denial is spoken of in Luke, there is a man servant mentioned and not a maid.

And a maid saw him again,.... Either the same maid, so the Syriac and Persic versions read, "that maid": that selfsame maid, as before, or another, as in Matthew 26:71, and so the Arabic version reads it here; but the Ethiopic as before "a daughter"; that is, of the high priest:
and began to say to them that stood by; the fire, along with Peter, warming themselves:
this is one of them; this man is one of the disciples and followers of Jesus of Nazareth; he is of that sect, he certainly belongs to them, and is come here only as a spy.

And a maid saw him again--or, "a girl." It might be rendered "the girl"; but this would not necessarily mean the same one as before, but might, and probably does, mean just the female who had charge of the door or gate near which Peter now was. Accordingly, in Matthew 26:71, she is expressly called "another [maid]." But in Luke (Luke 22:58) it is a male servant: "And after a little while [from the time of the first denial] another"--that is, as the word signifies, "another male" servant. But there is no real difficulty, as the challenge, probably, after being made by one was reiterated by another. Accordingly, in John (John 18:25), it is, "They said therefore unto him, &c.--"as if more than one challenged him at once.
and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them--or, as in Matthew 26:71 --"This [fellow] was also with Jesus the Nazarene."
