Verses 59-60
Luke’s singular reference to an hour passing reflects his interest in the passing of time. The third accusation-this one spoken with conviction-came from another man, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off (John 18:26). Luke omitted the oaths that Peter added to this denial (Matthew 26:74; Mark 14:71). He also wrote that Peter denied knowledge of what the accuser meant, apparently in addition to his denying that he knew Jesus (Matthew 26:74; Mark 14:71). Immediately the cock crowed as Jesus had predicted (Luke 22:34).
