OUR FATHER WHOSE SINLESS SON WAS SUBJECTED TO AN UNJUST TRIAL
The book of John Chapter 18 verses 15 - 18 picks up the movements of two disciples who followed Jesus after His arrest and as the procedings at Annasˋ house unfolded, a disciple ( likey the apostle John, the writer of this book ), was able to get into the courtyard of the high priest because John was known to the household and he was able to secure access for Peter to
As Peter entered the complex, the lady who administered access through the compound gate, recognised him to be one of the followers of Jesus and when she mentioned it, Peter denied it.
15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest. 16 But 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 not.”
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.
In the cold morning, the soldiers who had been charged with arresting and holding Jesus, made a fire by which to keep warm as they stood waiting for the matters to conclude at Annasˋhouse so that they could take Jesus to Caiaphasˋ residence where the next tribunal would be held.
Peter stood among the men and warmed himself.
