Context of Mark 14:54
52but he, leaving the linen cloth behind [him], fled from them naked. 53And they led away Jesus to the high priest. And there come together to him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. And Peter followed him at a distance, till [he was] within the court of the high priest's palace; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself in the light [of the fire]. 55And the chief priests and the whole sanhedrim sought testimony against Jesus to cause him to be put to death, and did not find [any]. 56For many bore false witness against him, and their testimony did not agree.
