John gives no account of Jesus being taken before the Sanhedrin but instead describes the questioning of Jesus by an influential Sanhedrin member, Annas, ex-High Priest and father-in-law of Caiaphas who was in office at that time, 11:49-50. No account is given of any questioning Caiaphas although Annas sent Jesus to him (18:24) and from Caiaphas house, Jesus was sent to Pilate, 18:28. Annas questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching (18: 19) to which Jesus replied that he had always taught in public and what he had taught was well known (18 :20- 21). Jesus was struck by a guard for his bold reply (18:22-23). Peter's denial of Jesus occurred during Jesus' questioning by Annas. John gi es an explanation not found in the synoptic gospels of how Peter was able to enter the courtyard of the High Priest's house (18: 15 -16); we can only guess at the identity of 'that other disciple'.
