Mark 14:67 “And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with Jesus of Nazareth.”
She may have recognized John already, which is likely. This would explain her wording of this sentence. John must have been a bit more acquainted with the politics of the religious elite in Jerusalem. He did not seem to be worried about being recognized. Or, if he did, he didn’t show it. It is important to note here that Jesus of Nazareth was the name that was used by the bulk of the people. Unfortunately, this was an unfavorable identifier. It misses the fact that Jesus was born in Bethlehem.
Heavenly Father, thank you for always having our best interest at heart. You do what is best for us, even if we don’t know what that is. We can trust you completely. You give us what we need to make our lives what they ought to be. Thank you! We will trust you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
