Jesus' arrest leads to a series of trials and interrogations. John only considers the interrogation of Annas when dealing with the religious trials. At the same time John gives the interrogation in the courtyard of Peter. While Jesus is faithfully facing His death, Peter fails to stand against the lowliest elements of society. John goes back and forth between the two men. The Lord restores Peter later but this story highlights the faithfulness of Jesus and the oft failure of His followers.
