Greek Commentary for Matthew 26:73
The talk about Peter continued. Luke (Luke 22:59) states that the little while was about an hour. The bystanders came up to Peter and bluntly assert that he was “of a truth” His dialect (λαλια lalia) clearly revealed that he was a Galilean. The Galileans had difficulty with the gutterals and Peter‘s second denial had exposed him to the tormenting raillery of the loungers who continued to nag him. [source]

This talk about Peter was overheard by him. “This fellow (ουτος houtos) is one of them.” So in Mark 14:70 the talk is directly to Peter as in Matthew 26:73, but in Luke 22:59 it is about him. Soon the bystanders (οι παρεστωτες hoi parestōtes) will join in the accusation to Peter (Mark 14:70; Matthew 26:73), with the specially pungent question in John 18:26 which was the climax. See notes on Matthew 26:69-75 for discussion of similar details. [source]
Imperfect middle, he kept affirming strongly. An old verb Matthew 26:73 makes it plain that it was his speech that gave him away, which see note. [source]

The former word refers to the form, the latter to the substance of discourse. So Matthew 26:73, of Peter, “thy speech ( λαλιά ) bewrayeth thee;” thy mode of speaking. If they had understood the substance, they would have understood the form. [source]
Another word is designedly substituted for λόγον , word (John 4:39, John 4:41). In John 4:39 λόγος , word, is used of the woman, from the Evangelist's standpoint, as being a testimony to Christ. Here the Samaritans distinguish between the more authoritative and dignified word of Jesus, and the talk of the woman. Rev., speaking. Compare the kindred verb λαλέω , in John 4:26, John 4:27; also John 8:43; Matthew 26:73. [source]
The A.V. fails to render καὶ alsoand Rev. places it in the margin. It emphasizes the conclusiveness of the reason assigned: “for the Father also, on His part, seeketh,” etc. For a similar use of καὶ , see on Matthew 8:9; also see on Matthew 26:73; see on Acts 19:40. [source]
This staggering and sudden thrust expects an affirmative answer by the use of ουκ ouk not μη mē as in John 18:17, John 18:25, but Peter‘s previous denials with the knowledge that he was observed by a kinsman of Malchus whom he had tried to kill (John 18:10) drove him to the third flat denial that he knew Jesus, this time with cursing and swearing (Mark 14:71; Matthew 26:73). Peter was in dire peril now of arrest himself for attempt to kill. Straightway As in Matthew 26:74 while Luke has παραχρημα parachrēma (Luke 22:60). Mark (Mark 14:68, Mark 14:72) speaks of two crowings as often happens when one cock crows. See Matthew 26:34 for αλεκτωρ alektōr (cock). That was usually the close of the third watch of the night (Mark 13:35), about 3 a.m. Luke 22:61 notes that Jesus turned and looked on Peter probably as he passed from the rooms of Annas to the trial before Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin (the ecclesiastical court).
