John 18:15-18
Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest, 16 but Peter stood outside at the door.
Herod's Palace, is marked. Then the unmarked Caiaphas Palace. Then the marked Hasmonean Palace. Continue west on the Map to the Mount of Olives. This is the journey of these Scripture Verses.
18 Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves. Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.
The guards were taking Jesus from the Jerusalem Mount of Olives Garden to the Courtyard of the High Priest. The Palace of Caiaphas, identified by Josephus, next door the Hasmonean Palace in Jerusalem.
The Double Triangle Towers are the Hasmonean Palace.
The Hasmonean Palace was built by the kings of the Hasmonean race, Herod's father in laws. The Hasmonean ancestors were also high priests before Herod, and they called it the Tower, in which were reposited the vestments of the high priest, which the high priest only put on at the time when he was to offer sacrifice." Herod was probably not comfortable there, for obvious reasons, and vastly wanted to overshadow his past. Although, Herod's DNA would be linked to the Ptolemy of Egypt. However, it is the Hasmonean Culture bringing us freedom from Romans sacrificing to Zeus in God's Temple. And the Hasmoneans were the leaders to bring us Hanukkah miracles remembered today.
Josephus' description is quite precise: "Over the gallery, at the passage to the upper city, where the bridge joined the Temple to the gallery." It is quite possible, therefore, to locate the approximate position of the palace, in front of the Temple slightly north of the modern Jewish Quarter

Peter stood outside the door.
4 Photos of the Synagogue at Capernaum
Tradition: Synagogue of Capernaum Pillar bearing the name of Sons of Thunder, John and James.
John's brother, James was the first marked by the Jerusalem officials to be martyred.
We could hazard a guess, James was probably the most likely to have been recognized as a son who had a father of generous abilities toward's God's Temple. Recognized to the Temple authorities. This is where Father God has put a path in archaeology, so, we would probably guess James, brother of John, son of Thunder, Zebedee.
Door of Caiaphas' Palace, stood Peter.
So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the servant girl who kept watch at the door, and brought Peter in.
17 The servant girl at the door said to Peter, “You also are not one of this man's disciples, are you?”
He said, “I am not.”
Where were you when they Crucified My Lord. These Disciples were probably trembling. It would be Justifiable to say, Peter is lost forever at the Door of Caiaphas.
God tells us He wants to save the world in Jesus Christ.
Where would Father God place Peter for this?
Peter holds the Keys to Heaven. Peter is in charge of the 12 Gates of Heaven. And when we say One Large Pearl at each Gate, we know in our heart, God Himself is fully capable to make 12 Giant Pearls. Like the 12 Sons of Jacob. And yet, we can picture in our souls the Light of Heaven Shines forth like a Pearl.
Peter was not lost at the Gate.
You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
Jesus the Gate.
