So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed

Good morning. Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest. Most people believe that this other disciple (who was the same one designated as the disciple whom Jesus loved) was John. One may rightly wonder why a fisherman would be known to the high priest. They would not normally mingle with the same group of people. Remember that one of the gospels talks about James and John, their father, and the hired servants. Their father would have had to have had a pretty good fishing business to have to hire servants. He could have been wealthy and run in the same circles as the high priest. But Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in. Then the slave girl who kept the door said to Peter, you are not also one of this man’s disciples, are you? He said, I am not. This was the first denial by Peter. Now the slaves and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal (I don’t know if it was Kingsford charcoal 🙃 ) fire, for it was cold and they were warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself. This was the morning when the Passover was to occur, and Passover a lot of times is the same time as our Easter. You are probably familiar with the fact that a lot of times it is cold at Easter sunrise services. The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching. Father help the reader to have a great day. Help him/her to trust You to take care of his/her every need.
