{To them that stood by} (	ois parest(9373)in). This talk
about Peter was overheard by him. "This fellow (houtos) is one
of them." So in verse  70  the talk is directly to Peter as in
 Mt 26:73 , but in  Lu 22:59  it is about him. Soon the
bystanders (hoi parest(9374)es) will join in the accusation to
Peter (verse  70  Mt 26:73 ), with the specially pungent question
in  Joh 18:26  which was the climax. See on 烘t 26:69-75| for
discussion of similar details.
