Commentary on Matthew 26:69
Theological / DevotionalPeter sat without. For Peter’s entry into the courtyard see on v. 58. He was sitting in the courtyard outside the building in which the trial was conducted. According to Mark 14:66, the courtyard was on a lower level than the floor of the council chamber.
The palace. That is, the “courtyard” of the palace (see on v. 58). Mark (ch. 14:67), Luke (ch. 22:55), and John (ch. 18:18, 25) all mention that Peter was warming himself before a fire kindled in the courtyard.
A damsel. This was the woman doorkeeper who had admitted Peter (John 18:16, 17; DA 710, 711).
