Read Luke 22.54-71. In verses 54-55:The high priest's house was a palace or official residence. Unlike Judas, Peter is not an active conspirator, but following at a distance (at his peril: 22.33), he seeks to reman unidentified. In verse 59: His speech or garb probably revealed Peter's Galilean origin. In verses 61-62: Peter's grief as he remembered (22.34) is a display or repentance for unintended complicity in evil. In verses 63-64: Brutal hazing of prisoners often preceded official interrogation. In verses 66-71: The Jewish court focuses on the titles Messiah and Son of God, royal ones (4.41; 23.35-38; 23.2) which only God could award. Jesus warns of the divine judgment (seated at the right hand of the power of God) of the Son of Man (21.36) and declares his accusers' words and deeds bear witness to his true identity, probably by fulfilling the scriptures about opposing the messiah of God (Acts 4.25-28).
