Jesus was bound and taken to the religious leaders. The crucifixion of Jesus was very much the work of the Jewish religious leaders. Annas had been high priest, but was deposed by the Romans in AD 15. However, he was probably still highly regarded by the Jews. Under Jewish law no one could be sentenced on the day their trial was held. Caiaphas was the one who had suggested it was better for one man to die for the sake of the nation.
The "other disciple" is possibly John himself. He apparently knew the high priest, and so was allowed to enter the courtyard. Peter, however, had to wait outside, but the "other disciple" arranged for Peter to be allowed in. At this point Peter is first challenged.
He was asked, in a fairly indirect manner, if he was a follower of Jesus. Peter denies this.
