John 18:12-16

12So the soldiers, their commanding officer, and the Temple guards arrested Jesus and tied him up.

13First they took him to Annas, since he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest at that time.

14Caiaphas was the one who had told the other Jewish leaders, “It’s better that one man should die for the people.”

15Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another of the disciples. That other disciple was acquainted with the high priest, so he was allowed to enter the high priest’s courtyard with Jesus.

16Peter had to stay outside the gate. Then the disciple who knew the high priest spoke to the woman watching at the gate, and she let Peter in.
