Again: here's what we know from the text: after Jesus' arrest, the disciples all scattered and each went "to his own" -- some translations say "each to his own home" or "each to his own place."

But... that's not quite right, because Scripture also says, (John 18:15,16) "And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest."

So you've got Peter and John (the other disciple) NOT scattering each to his own place or home, but present at the trial of Jesus which took place in front of the High Priest: they "went in with Jesus into the palace,"(John 18:16) and we know that Peter wound up later in the courtyard with the officers and servants.

Matthew's Gospel says (26:58) "But Peter followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end." Mark says the same: Luke even says that they (Jesus and Peter) saw each other there in the High Priest's palace: that was after Peter denied knowing Him.

OK, skip to the Crucifixion, and we know John was STILL with Jesus. There's nothing about him leaving. Peter is apparently not there.

But: once more, Peter is found in John's company again early on the morning of the Resurrection. It looks like they were more or less sticking together. You've got Peter and John running to the tomb. Peter, the elder of the two, was slower; but John, though he arrived first, waited for Peter, and Peter entered the tomb first.

So what you've got here is not a "total" entire abandonment of the Lord, but one (John) or sometimes two (with Peter) being with or near Him on Thursday (at the arrest); on Thurs night/Friday morning (at His trial); Friday afternoon (John at His crucifixion) and early Sunday morning (both John and Peter) at the time of His rising from the dead.

Not "scattering" and "each one going to his own place."

The other nine (minus Judas, John, and Peter) did scatter. But they evidently regathered quickly: because the morning of the Resurrection, after the faithful myrrh-bearing women encountered the two angels, "they returned from the tomb and announced these things to the Eleven and to all the others." So they were not scattered, but all staying in the same place again.

It must have been an amazing, frightening, confused, wonderful, doubtful, hopeful and puzzling time. All the Gospel accounts can't be completely harmonized with each other, but that's to be expected. The witnesses were mind-boggled.
