[69] And  a maid  him  again,  and began  to say  to them that stood by,  This  one of  them.  [70] And  he denied it  again.  And  after,  they that stood by  again  to Peter,  Surely  one of  them:  for  a Galilaean,  and  speech  agreeth 

What does Mark 14:69-70 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Evidently "the maid" was a different person from the servant girl ( Mark 14:66; cf. Matthew 26:71). Instead of accusing Peter to his face this girl whispered her charge to bystanders. Peter heard her. Again Peter denied being one of Jesus" disciples. This time he kept on denying it, as the Greek imperfect tense indicates.
