SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:66
¶ Y estando Pedro en el palacio abajo, vino una de las criadas del sumo sacerdote;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 66. And as Peter was beneath in the palace , etc..] Not at the lower and further end of the room, but in the lower part of it; that part in which Jesus and the sanhedrim were, being upon an advanced ground, with steps ascending to it: there cometh one of the maids of the high priest ; the same that kept the door, and let him in. The Ethiopic version renders it, a daughter of the high priest.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 66-72 - Peter's denying Christ began by keeping at a distance from him. Thos that are shy of godliness, are far in the way to deny Christ. Those wh think it dangerous to be in company with Christ's disciples, becaus thence they may be drawn in to suffer for him, will find it much mor dangerous to be in company with his enemies, because there they may be drawn in to sin against him. When Christ was admired and flocked after Peter readily owned him; but will own no relation to him now he is deserted and despised. Yet observe, Peter's repentance was very speedy Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall; and let his that has fallen think of these things, and of his own offences, an return to the Lord with weeping and supplication, seeking forgiveness and to be raised up by the Holy Spirit __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies
66. Beneath. In relation to the chambers round the court above.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
14:66 {Beneath in the court} (katw en tei aulei). this implies that Jesus was upstairs when the Sanhedrin met. #Mt 22:69 has it {without in the court} (exw en tei aulei). Both are true. The open court was outside of the rooms and also below.
