SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:54
¶ Y prendindole le trajeron, y le metieron en casa del príncipe de los sacerdotes. Y Pedro le seguía de lejos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 54. Then took they him, and led him , etc.] The band of soldiers, the captain, and the officers of the Jews, laid hold on Jesus, and bound him, ( John 18:12) and led him out of the garden; notwithstanding the miracle he had wrought, and the humanity he had shown in healing the servant's ear; and notwithstanding his moving address to the chiefs of them; and indeed, this was a confirmation of his last words; for by this it appeared, that now was their time, and power was given to them, as the emissaries of Satan, to act against him: and brought him into the high priest's house ; where the sanhedrim were assembled; but this was not in the temple where they used to sit: it is true, indeed, that the chamber in the temple, called the chamber Parhedrin, or Palhedrin, was, hryd tyb , the dwelling house of the high priest, seven days before the day of atonement f678 ; and this was also called the chamber of the counsellors f679 ; so that had the time of year agreed, it might have been thought that this was the place that Jesus was led to; but here the high priest did not usually dwell, and it is manifestly distinguished from his own house: for it is said f680 , seven days before the day of atonement, they separate, or remove the high priest, wtybm , from his house, to the chamber of Palhedrin; (See Gill on Matthew 26:3). And Peter followed afar off ; (see Gill on Matthew 26:58).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 54-62 - Peter's fall was his denying that he knew Christ, and was his disciple disowning him because of distress and danger. He that has once told lie, is strongly tempted to persist: the beginning of that sin, lik strife, is as the letting forth of water. The Lord turned and looke upon Peter. 1. It was a convincing look. Jesus turned and looked upo him, as if he should say, Dost thou not know me, Peter? 2. It was chiding look. Let us think with what a rebuking countenance Christ ma justly look upon us when we have sinned. 3. It was an expostulatin look. Thou who wast the most forward to confess me to be the Son of God, and didst solemnly promise thou wouldest never disown me! 4. It was a compassionate look. Peter, how art thou fallen and undone if I d not help thee! 5. It was a directing look, to go and bethink himself 6. It was a significant look; it signified the conveying of grace to Peter's heart, to enable him to repent. The grace of God works in an by the word of God, brings that to mind, and sets that home upon the conscience, and so gives the soul the happy turn. Christ looked upo the chief priests, and made no impression upon them as he did on Peter It was not the mere look from Christ, but the Divine grace with it that restored Peter.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
22:54 {Into the high priest's house} (eis ten oikian tou arcierews). Luke alone mentions "the house." Though it is implied in #Mr 14:53; Mt 26:57. {Followed} (ekolouqei). Imperfect, was following, as #Mt 26:58; Joh 18:15. Curiously #Mr 14:54 has the aorist.
