John 18:15
Compare all
13 And athey led Him away to bAnnas first, for he was the father-in-law of cCaiaphas who was high priest that year.  
14 aNow it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was1 expedient that one man should die for the people.  

Peter Denies Jesus

15 aAnd Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did banother disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.  
16 aBut Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought Peter in.  
17 Then the servant girl who kept the door said to Peter, “You are not also one of this Man’s disciples, are you?” He said, “I am anot.”  
18 Now the servants and officers who had made a fire of coals stood there, for it was cold, and they warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them and warmed himself.

Jesus Questioned by the High Priest

19 The high priest then asked Jesus about His disciples and His doctrine.
20 Jesus answered him, a“I spoke openly to the world. I always taught bin synagogues and cin the temple, where the Jews always meet, and in secret I have said nothing.  
21 Why do you ask Me? Ask athose who have heard Me what I said to them. Indeed they know what I said.”  
22 And when He had said these things, one of the officers who stood by astruck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, “Do You answer the high priest like that?”  
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why do you strike Me?”
24 aThen Annas sent Him bound to bCaiaphas the high priest.  

Peter Denies Twice More

25 Now Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. aTherefore they said to him, “You are not also one of His disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not!”  
26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”
27 Peter then denied again; and aimmediately a rooster crowed.  

In Pilate’s Court

28 aThen they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. bBut they themselves did not go into the1 Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.  
29 aPilate then went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?”

John 18:15

Followed (hkolouqei). Imperfect active of akolouqew, "was following," picturesque and vivid tense, with associative instrumental case tw Ihsou.

Another disciple (allov maqhthv). Correct text without article o (genuine in verse John 18:16). Peter's companion was the Beloved Disciple, the author of the book (John 21:24).

Was known unto the high priest (hn gnwstov tw arxierei). Verbal adjective from ginwskw, to know (Acts 1:19) with dative case. How well known the word does not say, not necessarily a personal friend, well enough known for the portress to admit John. "The account of what happened to Peter might well seem to be told from the point of view of the servants' hall" (Sanday, Criticism of the Fourth Gospel, p. 101).

Entered in with Jesus (suneishlqen tw Ihsou). Second aorist active indicative of the double compound suneiserxomai, old verb, in N.T. here and John 6:22. With associative instrumental case.

Into the court (eiv thn aulhn). It is not clear that this word ever means the palace itself instead of the courtyard (uncovered enclosure) as always in the papyri (very common). Clearly courtyard in Mark 14:66 (Matthew 26:69; Luke 22:55). Apparently Annas had rooms in the official residence of Caiaphas.
