{A fire of coals} (anthrakian). Old word, in LXX, only
here and  21:9  in N.T. A heap of burning coals (anthrax,
coal). Cf. our "anthracite." It was cold (psuchos (886e)). "There
was coldness." The soldiers had apparently returned to their
barracks. {Were warming themselves} (ethermainonto). Direct
middle imperfect indicative of 	hermain(935c) (from 	hermos). So
as to 	hermainomenos about Peter. "Peter, unabashed by his lie,
joined himself to the group and stood in the light of the fire"
(Dods).
