69–75. THE DENIAL OF PETER
St Mar 14:66-72; Luk 22:54-62; Joh 18:15-18; Joh 18:25-27
The accounts differ slightly, and exactly in such a way as the evidence of honest witnesses might be expected to differ in describing the minor details (which at the time would appear unimportant) in a scene full of stir and momentous incidents. Discrepancies of this kind form the strongest argument for the independence of the different gospels. St Luke mentions that ‘the Lord turned and looked upon Peter.’ St John states that the third question was put by a kinsman of Malchus.
