LUKE 22:54

 Then seizing Him, they led Him away and took Him into the house of the high priest.  Peter followed at a distance. - Luke 22:54

So many questions.  Why did they take You to someone's house?  Would it have been bad to go to somewhere in the temple?  And was it just the high priest and You in the house or did everyone come in?  Were other people waiting there?  

Why only Peter?  I kind of wish Luke had mentioned what happened to the other disciples.  I'm pretty sure they scattered out of fear of also being captured, but I would have liked some of the details.  Were they all together?  Where did they go?  Were there threats made or did the disciples just know they were in physical danger?  And, as I think about it, no where in Scripture, except for Peter, does it mention the regret or repent of this decision by the disciples.

If it was me, I guess it it tough to say what I would have done.  Seems like most of the followers (and I am definitely more of a follower) took off.  I know Peter gets some bad press in the couple of sentences, but at least he had the guts to follow.

​The winter Metra crowd is a lot different!  People plying music without headphones, talking loudly - it’s like the L! I was looking forward...
