SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 18:15–18: Peter denied Jesus

This section reports that Peter secretly followed Jesus to the home of the high priest. There he denied that he was a disciple of Jesus.

Here are other possible section headings:

Peter denied being Jesus’ disciple

Peter denied knowing Jesus the first time

Peter said that he was not a follower of Jesus

Paragraph 18:15–17

Peter denied that he was one of Jesus’ disciples.

18:15a

Now Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus.

Now: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as Now introduces background information about Simon Peter. It is not a time word. Introduce this new person in a way that is natural in your language.

Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus: Two of Jesus’ disciples followed the crowd that had arrested Jesus. One of them was Simon Peter. See how you spelled his name in 18:10.

another disciple: The author did not state who this other disciple was. He was probably one of the 12, but we do not know which one. Some scholars think that it was John himself, but this is not indicated. You should not supply a name for this man, but only indicate that he was one of Jesus’ disciples.

disciple: The Greek word that the BSB translates as disciple refers to a “learner” who is in a special relationship with a teacher. Here the word refers specifically to followers of Jesus. See how you translated this word in 18:1.

18:15b

Since that disciple was known to the high priest,

Since that disciple was known to the high priest: This clause begins to explain how Peter and the “other disciple” could follow Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest’s home. The high priest knew the second disciple, and probably the person guarding the gate in the wall knew him too.

Since: This word here introduces the reason why the other disciple was allowed into the courtyard. It means “because.” Here are other ways to translate this word:

Because (NIV)

That other disciple was well known to the High Priest, so (GNT)

that disciple was known to the high priest: The high priest and the second disciple knew one another personally. Perhaps they were not friends but could have just been acquainted with each other, knowing each other, but not well. They may have known each other in the way a wealthy man knows a salesperson. One ancient manuscript suggests that this disciple used to sell fish to the high priest’s household.Kostenberger p. 513, footnote 14, indicates that there is a reference in the noncanonical Gospel of the Hebrews to this disciple, assumed to be John, supplying fish to the court of the high priest while working for his father Zebedee.

The Greek verb that the BSB translates as was known is a passive verb. Here are some ways to translate this verb:

that disciple: This phrase refers to the second unidentified disciple mentioned in 18:15a. Refer back to him in a way that is natural in your language. For example:

this disciple (NIV)

the high priest: This phrase here probably refers to Annas. Even though the high priest Caiaphas was mentioned last (18:13) this part of the story happened at Annas’ house. This phrase refers to the leader of the priests. He was the most important (therefore high) priest. He was the president of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council. See how you translated high priest in 18:13. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

the leader priest (Yakan Back Translation)

the highest priest (Kankanaey Back Translation)

18:15c

he also went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

he also went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest: The high priest had a courtyard around his house and a wall around the courtyard. This wall had a gate. A servant, the gatekeeper, stood at the gate to allow some people to enter and to keep the others out. This servant let this disciple follow Jesus into the courtyard because the high priest (and apparently this servant) knew him.

he also went with Jesus: This unidentified disciple received permission to go with Jesus through the gate into the high priest’s courtyard. It was because the high priest knew him that he received this permission. In some languages it may be natural to make this explicit. For example:

he was allowed to go/enter with Jesus

he was able to follow Jesus

into the courtyard of the high priest: In Jesus’ day the houses of wealthy people were surrounded by a wall. The area inside the wall but outside the house was called the courtyard. (Everything inside the wall could be called a “compound.”) The phrase the courtyard of the high priest refers to the area around the high priest’s house that was inside the wall. The phrase the high priest here continues to refer to Annas. However, it is likely that Annas shared his compound and courtyard with his son-in-law Caiaphas. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

into his compound/courtyard

into the open space around the house (Karikari Back translation)

General Comment on 18:15a–b

In some languages it may be natural to reverse the order of 18:15a–b. You could say that the guard at the gate allowed the disciple to enter the courtyard before saying why. For example:

That disciple was allowed to go with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard, because the high priest knew him.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἠκολούθει & τῷ Ἰησοῦ & ἄλλος μαθητής. ὁ δὲ μαθητὴς ἐκεῖνος ἦν γνωστὸς τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ, καὶ συνεισῆλθεν

˓was˒_following & ¬the ˱with˲_Jesus & ˓the˒_other disciple ¬the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἠκολούθει Δέ τῷ Ἰησοῦ Σίμων Πέτρος καί ἄλλος μαθητής ὁ Δέ μαθητής ἐκεῖνος ἦν γνωστός τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ καί συνεισῆλθεν τῷ Ἰησοῦ εἰς τήν αὐλήν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως)

Here, another disciple and that disciple could refer to: (1) the apostle John, who wrote this Gospel. This interpretation would mean that these phrases would be similar to the phrase “the other disciple, whom Jesus loved” that occurs in ([20:2](../20/02.md)). Alternate translation: [I, another disciple, followed Jesus. Now I was known to the high priest, and I entered] (2) an unknown disciple. Alternate translation: [a certain disciple, followed Jesus. Now that other disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Now the high priest knew that disciple]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ & τοῦ ἀρχιερέως

¬the ˱to˲_the chief_priest & ˱of˲_the chief_priest

In verses 15–23, the high priest refers to Annas, which is indicated in [18:13](../18/13.md). It does not refer to Caiaphas. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [to the high priest Annas … of Annas]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

18:15 That other disciple is unnamed but was probably the “disciple Jesus loved” (13:23)—John, the author of this Gospel.
