Mark 14:53,54 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

And they led Jesus away to the high-priest To Annas first, who had been high-priest, and afterward to his son-in-law, Caiaphas, who then sustained the office. And with him were assembled all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes Or the chief persons of the sanhedrim, with their proper officers, convened by Caiaphas on this important occasion. And Peter followed him afar off Though he had at first forsaken Christ, and shifted for himself, as the rest of his companions did, yet afterward he and John bethought themselves, and determined to return, that they might see what would become of him: even unto the palace of the high-priest See on Matthew 26:57. It appears, from the circumstance of Peter and John's being ready to go into Caiaphas's house with the band which conducted Jesus, that they had quickly recovered themselves after their flight.
