SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:59
Y como una hora pasada otro afirmaba, diciendo: Verdaderamente tambin ste estaba con l, porque es galileo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 59. And about the space of one hour after , etc.] After the first assault, or rather after the second: another confidently affirmed ; who was one of them that stood by the fireside, and heard what had passed; and not only so, but was a kinsman to him, whose ear Peter had cut off, and who had seen him in the garden with Christ, and therefore with all assurance asserted it, as a matter of fact, as an unquestionable truth, and beyond all doubt: saying of a truth, this fellow also was with him ; a disciple and follower of Jesus, and was with him when he was apprehended; I saw him there, and it may be depended on as a truth; and then added this reason, for he is a Galilean ; you may be assured of this yourselves, his speech betrays him; you may know him by his language, and which confirms my assertion.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 54-62 - Peter's fall was his denying that he knew Christ, and was his disciple disowning him because of distress and danger. He that has once told lie, is strongly tempted to persist: the beginning of that sin, lik strife, is as the letting forth of water. The Lord turned and looke upon Peter. 1. It was a convincing look. Jesus turned and looked upo him, as if he should say, Dost thou not know me, Peter? 2. It was chiding look. Let us think with what a rebuking countenance Christ ma justly look upon us when we have sinned. 3. It was an expostulatin look. Thou who wast the most forward to confess me to be the Son of God, and didst solemnly promise thou wouldest never disown me! 4. It was a compassionate look. Peter, how art thou fallen and undone if I d not help thee! 5. It was a directing look, to go and bethink himself 6. It was a significant look; it signified the conveying of grace to Peter's heart, to enable him to repent. The grace of God works in an by the word of God, brings that to mind, and sets that home upon the conscience, and so gives the soul the happy turn. Christ looked upo the chief priests, and made no impression upon them as he did on Peter It was not the mere look from Christ, but the Divine grace with it that restored Peter.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
22:59 {After the space of about one hour} (diastases hwsei hwras mias). Genitive absolute with second aorist active participle feminine singular of diistemi. this classical verb in the N.T. is used only by Luke (#22:59; 24:51; Ac 27:28). It means standing in two or apart, about an hour intervening. {Confidently affirmed} (diiscurizeto). Imperfect middle, he kept affirming strongly. An old verb (dia, iscurizomai), to make oneself strong, to make emphatic declaration. In the N.T. only here and #Ac 12:15. {For he is a Galilean} (kai gar galilaios estin). #Mt 26:73 makes it plain that it was his speech that gave him away, which see.
