184:2.1 As the band of guards and [[soldiers]] approached the entrance to the [[palace]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas], [[John Zebedee]] was marching by the side of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centurion captain] of the [[Roman]] [[soldiers]]. [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] had dropped some distance behind, and [[Simon Peter]] followed afar off. After [[John, the Apostle|John]] had entered the [[palace]] courtyard with [[Jesus]] and the guards, [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] came up to the gate but, seeing [[Jesus]] and [[John, the Apostle|John]], went on over to the [[home]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caiaphas Caiaphas], where he knew the real [[trial]] of [[the Master]] would later take place. Soon after [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] had left, [[Simon Peter]] arrived, and as he stood before the gate, [[John, the Apostle|John]] saw him just as they were about to take [[Jesus]] into the [[palace]]. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatekeeper portress] who kept the gate knew [[John, the Apostle|John]], and when he spoke to her, requesting that she let [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] in, she gladly assented.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_%28form_of_address%29]

184:2.2 [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], upon entering the [[courtyard]], went over to the charcoal [[fire]] and sought to [[warm]] himself, for the night was chilly.[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_18] He felt very much out of place here among the [[enemies]] of [[Jesus]], and indeed he was out of place. [[The Master]] had not instructed him to keep near at hand as he had [[admonished]] [[John, the Apostle|John]]. [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] belonged with the other [[apostles]], who had been specifically [[warned]] not to en[[danger]] their lives during these times of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_185 trial] and [[crucifixion]] of their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_%28form_of_address%29 Master].

184:2.3 [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] threw away his [[sword]] shortly before he came up to the [[palace]] gate so that he entered the [[courtyard]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas] unarmed. His [[mind]] was in a [[Maelstrom|whirl]] of [[confusion]]; he could scarcely [[realize]] that [[Jesus]] had been [[arrested]]. He could not grasp the [[reality]] of the situation—that he was here in the [[courtyard]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas], warming himself beside the [[servants]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol high priest]. He [[wondered]] what the other [[apostles]] were doing and, in turning over in his [[mind]] as to how [[John, the Apostle|John]] came to be admitted to the [[palace]], concluded that it was because he was known to the [[servants]], since he had bidden the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatekeeper gate-keeper] admit him.

184:2.4 Shortly after the portress let [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] in, and while he was [[warming]] himself by the [[fire]], she went over to him and [[mischievously]] said, " Are you not also one of this man's [[disciples]]? " Now [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] should not have been [[surprised]] at this [[recognition]], for it was [[John, the Apostle|John]] who had requested that the girl let him pass through the [[palace]] gates; but he was in such a [[Stress|tense]] [[nervous]] [[state]] that this identification as a [[disciple]] threw him off his [[balance]], and with only one [[thought]] uppermost in his [[mind]]—the thought of [[escaping]] with his life—he promptly answered the maid's [[question]] by saying, " I am not.

184:2.5 Very soon another servant came up to [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] and asked: " Did I not see you in the [[garden]] when they [[arrested]] this fellow? Are you not also one of his followers? " [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] was now thoroughly alarmed; he saw no way of safely [[escaping]] from these [[accusers]]; so he vehemently [[denied]] all [[connection]] with [[Jesus]], saying, " I know not this man, neither am I one of his followers.

184:2.6 About this time the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatekeeper portress] of the gate drew [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] to one side and said: " I am sure you are a [[disciple]] of this [[Jesus]], not only because one of his followers bade me let you in the [[courtyard]], but my sister here has seen you in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple the temple] with this man. Why do you [[deny]] this? " When [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] heard the maid [[accuse]] him, he denied all [[knowledge]] of [[Jesus]] with much [[cursing]] and swearing, again saying, " I am not this man's follower; I do not even know him; I never heard of him before.

184:2.7 [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] left the [[Fire|fireside]] for a [[time]] while he walked about the [[courtyard]]. He would have liked to have [[escaped]], but he [[feared]] to [[attract]] [[attention]] to himself. Getting cold, he returned to the [[Fire|fireside]], and one of the men standing near him said: " [[Surely]] you are one of this man's [[disciples]]. This [[Jesus]] is a [[Galilean]], and your [[speech]] betrays you, for you also speak as a [[Galilean]]. " And again [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] denied all [[connection]] with his Master.[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Matthew#Chapter_26]

184:2.8 [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] was so perturbed that he sought to [[escape]] [[contact]] with his [[accusers]] by going away from the [[fire]] and remaining by himself on the porch. After more than an hour of this [[isolation]], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatekeeper gate-keeper] and her sister [[chanced]] to meet him, and both of them again teasingly [[Accusation|charged]] him with being a [[Disciple|follower]] of [[Jesus]]. And again he [[denied]] the [[accusation]]. Just as he had once more [[denied]] all [[connection]] with [[Jesus]], the [[Acme|cock]] crowed, and [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] [[remembered]] the words of [[warning]] [[spoken]] to him by his Master [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_181 earlier that same night]. As he stood there, heavy of [[heart]] and crushed with the sense of [[guilt]], the [[palace]] doors opened, and the guards led [[Jesus]] past on the way to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caiaphas Caiaphas]. As [[the Master]] passed [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], he saw, by the [[light]] of the torches, the look of [[despair]] on the [[face]] of his former [[self]]-[[confident]] and [[superficially]] [[brave]] [[apostle]], and he turned and looked upon [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]]. Peter never forgot that look as long as he lived. It was such a glance of commingled [[pity]] and [[love]] as [[mortal]] man had never beheld in the [[face]] of [[the Master]].

184:2.9 After [[Jesus]] and the guards passed out of the [[palace]] gates, [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] followed them, but only for a short distance. He could not go farther. He sat down by the side of the road and [[Cry|wept bitterly]]. And when he had shed these tears of [[agony]], he turned his steps back toward the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gethsemane camp], [[hoping]] to find his [[brother]], [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]]. On arriving at the camp, he found only [[David Zebedee]], who sent a [[messenger]] to direct him to where his brother had gone to hide in [[Jerusalem]].

184:2.10 [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]]'s entire [[experience]] occurred in the [[courtyard]] of the [[palace]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas] on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_of_Olives Mount Olivet]. He did not follow [[Jesus]] to the [[palace]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol high priest], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caiaphas Caiaphas]. That [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] was brought to the [[realization]] that he had repeatedly denied his Master by the crowing of a cock indicates that this all occurred outside of [[Jerusalem]] since it was against the [[law]] to keep poultry within the [[city]] proper.

184:2.11 Until the crowing of the cock brought [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] to his better [[senses]], he had only [[thought]], as he walked up and down the porch to keep [[warm]], how cleverly he had eluded the [[accusations]] of the [[servants]], and how he had [[frustrated]] their [[purpose]] to identify him with [[Jesus]]. For the time being, he had only considered that these [[servants]] had no [[moral]] or [[legal]] [[right]] thus to [[question]] him, and he really congratulated himself over the [[manner]] in which he [[thought]] he had avoided being identified and possibly subjected to [[arrest]] and [[imprisonment]]. Not until the cock crowed did it occur to [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] that he had [[denied]] his [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_(form_of_address) Master]. Not until [[Jesus]] looked upon him, did he [[realize]] that he had [[failed]] to live up to his [[privileges]] as an [[ambassador]] of [[the kingdom]].

184:2.12 Having taken the first step along the path of [[compromise]] and least [[resistance]], there was nothing [[apparent]] to [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] but to go on with the [[course]] of [[conduct]] [[decided]] upon. It requires a great and [[noble]] [[character]], having started out wrong, to turn about and go right. All too often one's own [[mind]] tends to [[justify]] continuance in the path of [[error]] when once it is entered upon.
