Before the cock crowed, Peter denied Jesus three times. Who was the first person to recognize him as one of the disciples?
one of the rulers
the High Priest
a maid
a bystander
Explanation
Peter’s first denial occurred when a maid (servant girl) recognized him. Matthew 26:69-70 (RSV):
Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. And a maid came up to him, and said, "You also were with Jesus the Galilean." But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you mean."
Mark 14:66-68 and Luke 22:56-57 also confirm that a servant girl (maid) was the first to recognize Peter.
