'Courtyard' in the Bible

Then the high priests and the elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.

Peter, however, followed him at a distance as far as the high priest's courtyard. He went inside and sat down with the servants to see how this would end.

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard when a servant girl came up to him and said, "You, too, were with Jesus the Galilean."
