And the Lord turned,.... Himself, his back being to Peter, whilst he was examining before the high priest; but he knew full well what was doing, what had been said to Peter, and how often he had denied him:
and looked upon Peter; with his bodily eyes, with great earnestness, expressing in his looks concern and pity for him; for it was a look, not of wrath and resentment, but of love and mercy, and power went along with it; it was not only a signal to Peter, to put him in remembrance of what he had said, but it was a melting look to him, and a means of convincing and humbling him, and of bringing him to repentance:

Truly this man
Here "this man" refers to Peter. The speaker probably did not know Peter's name.
he is a Galilean
The man could probably tell Peter was from Galilee from the way he talked. (See: Assumed Knowledge and Implicit Information)
Man
Peter did not know the man's name. He was not insulting him by calling him "Man." If people would think he was insulting him, you could use a culturally acceptable way for a man to address a man he does not know, or you could leave out the word. See how you translated this in Luke 22:58.
I do not know what you are saying
"I do not know what you are talking about." This expression means that Peter completely disagrees with the man. AT: "what you said is not true at all" or "what you said is completely false" (See: Idiom)
while he was speaking
"while Peter was speaking"
a rooster crowed
Roosters often crow just before the sun appears in the morning. See how you translated a similar phrase in Luke 22:34.
