"Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore unto him, Art thou also [one] of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not." — John 18:25 (ASV)
And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself.—Better, And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. (Compare to John 18:18.) The words are repeated to draw attention to the fact that he was standing in the court at the time when Jesus was sent from Annas to Caiaphas, that is, from one wing of the quadrangular building across the court to the other. In Luke 22:61 it is said that the Lord turned and looked upon Peter.
Art not thou also one of his disciples?—Compare to Note to John 18:17.
