Mark 14:53-54
ContextCondemned by the Sanhedrin
14:53 Then 1 they led Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests and elders and experts in the law 2 came together. 14:54 And Peter had followed him from a distance, up to the high priest’s courtyard. He 3 was sitting with the guards 4 and warming himself by the fire.
1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
2 tn Or “and scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.
3 tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
4 sn The guards would have been the guards of the chief priests who had accompanied Judas to arrest Jesus.
