The trial of Jesus was attended by a disciple. Which one was it though?

If this is an honest and serious question, either St. Peter or Joseph of Arimathea (who was a member of the Council but a secret disciple of Jesus)

The reference is assumed to be John--who was made to be the narrator of the Gospel but was not the author of the Gospel of John. The Gospel of John was possibly written by folks from the lineage of John. I once read notes of a certain Bible scholar (I can't remember his name) who believed that the Gospel of John was actually a gospel from the Magdalinean lineage and that, for various politically correct reasons, the narrator of the gospel was made to be the disciple John, not Mary. The Gospel of John is considered to contain content that is more similar to Gnostic texts than the other gospels. Although Mary Magdaline figures prominently in some Gnostic texts, the whole lore about her being the wife of Christ and all is speculation, popularized by a fictional work known as the DaVinci Code. It is likely that the Gnostic writers were expressing ideas in a figurative, metaphorical, symbolic, and mystical way, not an historical way. Although presented as history, the standard gospels are probably relate legend not history.

Peter is mentioned and John was possibly there.
John 18:15,
Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard, 16but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the girl on duty there and brought Peter in.
Mark 14:53-54
53They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders and teachers of the law came together. 54Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.
Secret disciples Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus were also known by the high priest and most likely were there.
John 19:38
Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jews. With Pilate's permission, he came and took the body away. 39He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night.

There is no mention in the Bible that one of the twelve disciples (if this is what you mean) attended His trial (e.g., by making known his presence to Pilate). It is possible, however, that some of them were in the crowd witnessing the trial.

You must be Gnostic. The only disciple who was with Jesus during this abomination was Mary, his most beloved disciple.
Blessed Be

John. But John also brought in Peter later when he was standing outside at the door.

none. Peter was near the palace, but I don't think he attended the trial.
