Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest — The "other disciple" (traditionally identified with John, the Gospel's author) possesses access to the high priest's household, suggesting he was known to Jerusalem's elite. The contrast between this unnamed disciple's confident entry and Peter's subsequent denial reveals varying courage among the apostles. The disciples' presence demonstrates Jesus' claim on his followers even in arrest.
