According to Luke, a girl saw Peter sitting by the fire and looked at him closely. She said, "This man was also with Jesus," because she recognized Peter as someone who had been with Jesus.

Luke 22:56: But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.

Contradiction with Matthew 26:69

This verse describes Peter being questioned by a maid about being with Jesus but suggests a different location rather than just a specific place where they were sitting, as portrayed in Luke 22:56.

Matthew 26:69: But he denied before [them] all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

Contradiction with Mark 14:68

This verse shows Peter denying Jesus before leaving the courtyard, which places the first denial at a different point in the timeline compared to Luke 22:56, where the denial occurs as the maid identifies him.

Mark 14:68: But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

Contradiction with John 18:17

This verse indicates that the maid directly addresses Peter in a straightforward manner, whereas Luke 22:56 gives the impression of a more indirect identification of Peter by the maid.

John 18:17: Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also [one] of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.
