Mark 14:66 “Now as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came.”
Peter was watching from what he probably thought was a ‘safe distance’ in that he would be able to say he was there, but he was far enough away to leave when he wanted. Evidently, he did not expect to be identified. But, he discovered his mistake soon enough. The servant girl likely understood what was going on with Jesus quite well having been this close to the priests. She may have had no malicious intent when she pointed Peter out.
Heavenly Father, keep us by your will, dear Lord. You are to be our protection, and not we ourselves. We must depend upon you for leading us in the way in which we should go. Your wisdom is our best defence. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
