Before the cock crowed, Peter denied Jesus three times. Who was the first person to recognize him as one of the disciples?
Answer Details
According to the Bible, a maid was the first person to recognize Peter as one of Jesus' disciples. She saw him in the courtyard where Jesus was being questioned and said to him, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee" (Matthew 26:69). This was before Peter denied Jesus three times, as mentioned in the question. Peter then denied knowing Jesus to the maid and to others who asked him.
