Greek Commentary for John 18:15
Imperfect active of ακολουτεω akoloutheō “was following,” picturesque and vivid tense, with associative instrumental case τωι Ιησου tōi Iēsou Another disciple Correct text without article ο ho (genuine in John 18:16). Peter‘s companion was the Beloved Disciple, the author of the book (John 21:24). Was known unto the high priest Verbal adjective from γινωσκω ginōskō to know (Acts 1:19) with dative case. How well known the word does not say, not necessarily a personal friend, well enough known for the portress to admit John. “The account of what happened to Peter might well seem to be told from the point of view of the servants‘ hall” (Sanday, Criticism of the Fourth Gospel, p. 101). Entered in with Jesus Second aorist active indicative of the double compound συνεισερχομαι suneiserchomai old verb, in N.T. here and John 6:22. With associative instrumental case. Into the court It is not clear that this word ever means the palace itself instead of the courtyard (uncovered enclosure) as always in the papyri (very common). Clearly courtyard in Mark 14:66 (Matthew 26:69; Luke 22:55). Apparently Annas had rooms in the official residence of Caiaphas. [source]
Imperfect, was following. [source]
The correct reading omits the article. Another. Probably John himself. [source]
Not palace, but court, as Rev. See on Matthew 26:3; see on Luke 11:21. [source]

Imperfect, was following, as Matthew 26:58; John 18:15. Curiously Mark 14:54 has the aorist. [source]
Same form in John 18:5 which see. So also ιστηκεισαν histēkeisan in John 18:18. Picture of Peter standing outside by the door. Unto the high priest Objective genitive here, but dative in John 18:15. Unto her that kept the door Old word (τυρα thura door, ωρα ōra care), masculine in John 10:3, feminine here, door-keeper (male or female). [source]
