‏ Mark 14:69

 To them that stood by ( τοις παρεστωσιν ). This talk about Peter was overheard by him. "This fellow ( ουτος ) is one of them." So in verse 70 the talk is directly to Peter as in Mt 26:73, but in Lu 22:59 it is about him. Soon the bystanders ( ο παρεστωτες ) will join in the accusation to Peter (verse 70; Mt 26:73), with the specially pungent question in Joh 18:26 which was the climax. See on Mt 26:69-75 for discussion of similar details.
