Matthew26:58
58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priests palace, and went in, and sate with the servants to see the end.
Mark adds, Ch. 14.54. and warmed himself at the Fire. Luke saith, Ch. 22.54, 55. Then took they him, and led him, and brought him to the High Priests House, and Peter followed afar off, and when they had Kindled a Fire in the midst of the Hall, and were set down together, Peter sate down amongst them. Iohn gives us a more particular account, how Peter came into the Hall, Ch. 18, 15. And Simon Peter followed Iesus, so did another Disciple, that Disciple was known unto the High Priest, and went in with Iesus into the Palace of the High Priest. But Peter stood at the Door without. Then went out that other Disciple, which was known unto the High Priest, and spake unto her that kept the Door, and brought in Peter. Some think that this other Disciple was Iohn himself, but it is not probable that Iohn and the High Priest should be so well acquainted, it is more probably judged, That it was none of the Twelve, but one who favoured Christ more secretly, some Citizen of Ierusalem whom the High Priest favoured, or at least knew by Face, and had some respect for, and therefore he was admitted in, and he helped Peter in, who being come in, and a Fire kindled in the Hall, the rest of the Company sate down and▪ warmed themselves by the Fire, Peter also sate down amongst them, being desirous to see the end.
