22:61a

And: In Greek, this verse begins with a common conjunction that the Berean Standard Bible translates as And. Some ways to translate it here are:

Then (NET Bible)
-or-
At that moment (New Living Translation (2004))

the Lord turned and looked at Peter: The Lord Jesus was in a place where he could see Peter by turning toward him. Jesus may have been in the courtyard itself at that moment, or he may have been in an open room or gallery near the courtyard. As the rooster crowed, Jesus turned and looked at Peter. The context shows that Peter also saw Jesus looking at him.

Some other ways to translate this statement are:

The Lord turned toward Peter and looked directly at him
-or-

⌊Peter saw⌋ the Lord turn and look at him

the Lord: The phrase the Lord refers here to Jesus. In some languages it may be necessary to make this explicit. For example:

the Lord ⌊Jesus⌋

22:61b

Then Peter remembered the word that the Lord had spoken to him: In Greek this clause is literally, “And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, as he said to him…” This word refers to what Jesus said to Peter in 22:34. The text repeats this statement in 22:61c. Some other ways to translate this are:

Then Peter remembered what the Lord had said to him
-or-
And Peter remembered that the Lord had said (Contemporary English Version)

22:61c–d

Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times: This statement is quoted from 22:34. See the notes at 22:34b and 22:34c. You should translate this statement in the same way as you did there.
