thou ( συ ), proleptical.

Into the porch ( εις το προαυλιον ). Only here in the New Testament. Plato uses it of a prelude on a flute. It occurs also in the plural for preparations the day before the wedding. Here it means the vestibule to the court. Mt 26:71 has πυλωνα, a common word for gate or front porch.

And the cock crew ( κα αλεκτωρ εφωνησεν ). Omitted by Aleph B L Sinaitic Syriac. It is genuine in verse 72 where "the second time" ( εκ δευτερου ) occurs also. It is possible that because of verse 72 it crept into verse 68. Mark alone alludes to the cock crowing twice, originally (Mr 14:30), and twice in verse 72, besides verse 68 which is hardly genuine.
