Mar_14:29. καί εἰ ] even if. On the difference between this and εἰ καί (which here occurs as a various reading), see Klotz, ad Devar. p. 519 f.

σήμερον ταύτῃ νυκτί ] (see the critical remarks) impassioned climax: to-day, in this night. As to πρὶν ἤ , see on Mat_1:18.
δίς ] a later form assumed by the utterance than in Matthew. Comp. Mar_14:68; Mar_14:72. Even Joh_13:38 has it not. There was no occasion for a later simplification (Weiss), if the characteristic δίς was there from the first.

Observe the difference between this ἐλάλει and the subsequent ἔλεγον (comp. on Mar_1:34 he latter is the simple, definite saying; the former, with ἐκπερισσῶς , is in keeping with the passionate nature of Peter not even yet silenced by Mar_14:30.
