Peter in the courtyard
Posted: Wed Jan 07, 2015 6:28 pm
(recap from current discussion on another UB blog)
"Peter’s entire experience occurred in the courtyard of the palace of Annas on Mount Olivet. He did not follow Jesus to the palace of the high priest, Caiaphas. That Peter was brought to the realization that he had repeatedly denied his Master by the crowing of a beep-beep indicates that this all occurred outside of Jerusalem since it was against the law to keep poultry within the city proper." (184:2.10)
But there are clues that "beep-beep" did not refer to poultry ...

"He was the one who had the responsibility of unlocking the Temple doors each and every morning before dawn."
"He would then proceed to unlock the doors to the Temple and cry out three statements in a loud voice: 'All the cohanim (priests) prepare to sacrifice'".
Re: Paper 184 - Before the Sanhedrin Court
"It was not lawful to convene the Sanhedrin court before the time of the offering of the morning sacrifice in the temple, and this sacrifice was offered about three o’clock in the morning." (184:0.1)
"Peter, upon entering the courtyard, went over to the charcoal fire and sought to warm himself, for the night was chilly." (184:2.2)
Thus, Peter was in the courtyard during the "night" - not at dawn, when a rooster would normally crow upon seeing sunlight (new research says a rooster's
circadian rhythm is its internal alarm, which is usually synchronized with sunlight at dawn).

I was going to change the word to "c--k", but liked "beep-beep" because a rooster in a cartoon might say "beep-beep"
... especially after socializing in the henhouse.]
