<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the high priest&#8217;s slave girls<n id="2" /> came by.

<t /><p class="bodytext">So<n id="1" /> the soldiers led him into the palace (that is, the governor&#8217;s residence)<n id="2" /> and called together the whole cohort.<n id="3" />

When a strong man,<n id="1" /> fully armed, guards his own palace,<n id="2" /> his possessions are safe.<n id="3" />

When they had made a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

Then the chief priests and the elders of the people met together in the palace of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.

But Peter was following him from a distance, all the way to the high priest&#8217;s courtyard. After<n id="1" /> going in, he sat with the guards<n id="2" /> to see the outcome.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A<n id="1" /> slave girl<n id="2" /> came to him and said, &#8220;You also were with Jesus the Galilean.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="1" /> the one who does not enter the sheepfold<n id="2" /> by the door,<n id="3" /> but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

And Peter had followed him from a distance, up to the high priest&#8217;s courtyard. He<n id="1" /> was sitting with the guards<n id="2" /> and warming himself by the fire.

I have<n id="1" /> other sheep that do not come from<n id="2" /> this sheepfold.<n id="3" /> I must bring them too, and they will listen to my voice,<n id="4" /> so that<n id="5" /> there will be one flock and<n id="6" /> one shepherd.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Simon Peter and another disciple followed them as they brought Jesus to Annas.<n id="1" /> (Now the other disciple<n id="2" /> was acquainted with the high priest, and he went with Jesus into the high priest&#8217;s courtyard.)<n id="3" />

But<n id="1" /> do not measure the outer courtyard<n id="2" /> of the temple; leave it out,<n id="3" /> because it has been given to the Gentiles,<n id="4" /> and they will trample on the holy city<n id="5" /> for forty-two months.
