SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 22:54–62: Jesus’ enemies arrested him, and Peter denied him

In 22:33 Peter said that he would never leave Jesus or be unfaithful to him. But in 22:34 Jesus predicted that actually Peter would say three times that he did not know Jesus. After Jesus was arrested, Peter followed Jesus to the house of the high priest and waited in the courtyard. Three different people said that Peter had been with Jesus, and three times Peter said he did not know Jesus. But then a rooster crowed, and Peter suddenly remembered what Jesus had said. Peter wept with great sorrow because he had denied that he knew Jesus his Lord.

Some other examples of headings for this section are:

Peter Denies Jesus (NRSV)

Jesus’ Condemnation and Peter’s Denials (NET)

Peter Says He Doesn’t Know Jesus (NCV)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 26:57–58, 26:69–75, Mark 14:53–54, 14:66–72, and John 18:12–18, 18:25–27.

22:57a

But Peter denied it.

But Peter denied/rejected what she said.
Then Peter falsely said

But: The Greek word that the BSB translates as But is a common conjunction that can be translated in different ways. Here it introduces Peter’s response to the servant girl. This response did not agree with what she said, so the word “but” is a natural way to introduce it in English. Some English versions do not use a conjunction here. Connect Peter’s response to 22:56c in a natural way in your language.

Peter denied it: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as Peter denied it is more literally “he denied, saying.” It introduces the words, “I do not know him” in 22:57b. Peter’s statement was not true. You should use a natural way in your language to introduce this statement of denial. For example:

Peter denied it by saying (GW)

Peter declared/replied falsely

Peter said (CEV)

Peter told the woman

22:57b

“Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.

He said, “Woman/Madam, I do not know him.”
to the woman/maid, “I do not know him.”

Woman: Here Peter addressed the female servant as Woman. This was a common way for a Jewish man to address a woman. It was not an insult, and it was not harsh. If it is unnatural or unkind in your culture to address a woman this way, you may:

Omit the direct address, but make it clear in 22:57a that Peter was speaking to the woman. See the examples in that note.
Use a different form of address that will be more natural or polite in your language. For example:
Madam
Sister

In 13:12 Jesus addressed a woman in this way. Refer to how you translated it there.

In Greek, the word Woman comes at the end of Peter’s denial:

I do not know him, Woman!

Place the direct address where it is natural in your language.

I do not know Him: Here Peter told the woman that he did not personally know Jesus. Peter’s statement was a lie. Of course, he knew Jesus, but he was afraid to admit it. He probably thought that the guards might arrest him also. Some other ways to translate this are:

I don’t even know him! (GNT)

I do not know that man.

he said: The phrase he said is a translation of the verb “saying” from 22:57a. (Refer to the note there for more information.) Place this verb where it is natural in your language.
