Descry
To descry is to see (something unclear or distant) by looking carefully; discern; espy.
While Jesus' trial was being held, one of the servant girls of the high priest descried Peter as one of his associates as he sat in the courtyard.
and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You also were with Jesus the Nazarene." (Mark 14:67, NASB)
Peter famously denied her identification.
Note: This on canvas of Peter denouncing Christ was painted by Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606-1669).
