One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, challenged him, “Didn’t I see you with him in the olive grove?”
This last questioner is different from the rest and his question looks for an affirmative answer. He was a relative of Malchus and had a special interest in locating the man who had wielded the sword in the garden and he was also an eyewitness of the events in question. But the light in the garden had been uncertain and the light of this charcoal fire, glowing red instead of emitting flames, was not much better, and making an identification was not likely apart from a confession. However, Peter does look familiar. This question contains real danger for Peter!
