SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:68
Mas l neg, diciendo: No lo conozco, ni s lo que dices. Y se sali fuera a la entrada; y cant el gallo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 68. But he denied , etc..] That he was with Jesus, or a disciple of his: saying, I know not; Jesus of Nazareth: neither understand I what thou sayest ; about him, and of being with him: the last phrase, neither understand I, is omitted in the Syriac and Persic versions: and he went out into the porch ; adjoining to the palace, to consider what to do, being surprised and confounded at such a challenge: and the cock crew ; the first time, being about midnight; and yet he took no notice of it, nor remembered what Christ had but a few hours before said to him: or if he did, he might hope he should not meet with another attack, or he should have more courage and strength than to deny a second time.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 66-72 - Peter's denying Christ began by keeping at a distance from him. Thos that are shy of godliness, are far in the way to deny Christ. Those wh think it dangerous to be in company with Christ's disciples, becaus thence they may be drawn in to suffer for him, will find it much mor dangerous to be in company with his enemies, because there they may be drawn in to sin against him. When Christ was admired and flocked after Peter readily owned him; but will own no relation to him now he is deserted and despised. Yet observe, Peter's repentance was very speedy Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall; and let his that has fallen think of these things, and of his own offences, an return to the Lord with weeping and supplication, seeking forgiveness and to be raised up by the Holy Spirit __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies
68. Porch (proaulion). Only here in New Testament. The vestibule, extending from the outside gate to the court.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
14:68 {I neither know nor understand} (oute oida oute epistamai). this denial is fuller in Mark, briefest in John. {What thou sayest} (su ti legeis). Can be understood as a direct question. Note position of {thou} (su), proleptical. {Into the porch} (eis to proaulion). Only here in the New Testament. Plato uses it of a prelude on a flute. It occurs also in the plural for preparations the day before the wedding. Here it means the vestibule to the court. #Mt 26:71 has pulwna, a common word for gate or front porch. {And the cock crew} (kai alektwr efwnesen). Omitted by Aleph B L Sinaitic Syriac. It is genuine in verse #72 where "the second time" (ek deuterou) occurs also. It is possible that because of verse #72 it crept into verse #68. Mark alone alludes to the cock crowing twice, originally (#Mr 14:30), and twice in verse #72, besides verse #68 which is hardly genuine.
