Bible verse
But Peter followed Him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. And he went in and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.
Matthew 26:58 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 26.
54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”
55 At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me.
56 But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.
57 Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.
58 But Peter followed Him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. And he went in and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.
59 Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death.
60 But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward
61 and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”
62 So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”
