18:15 Simon Peter and another disciple followed them as they brought Jesus to Annas. 1 (Now the other disciple 2 was acquainted with the high priest, and he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard.) 3 18:16 But Simon Peter was left standing outside by the door. So the other disciple who was acquainted with the high priest came out and spoke to the slave girl who watched the door, 4 and brought Peter inside.
1 tn The words “them as they brought Jesus to Annas” are not in the Greek text, but are supplied to clarify who Peter and the other disciple were following. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
2 tn Grk “that disciple.”
3 sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.
4 tn Grk “spoke to the doorkeeper”; her description as a slave girl is taken from the following verse. The noun θυρωρός (qurwro") may be either masculine or feminine, but the article here indicates that it is feminine.
