13: And they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to
Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year.
To Annas first. Probably his house was nearest to them, and he had great authority and influence in the Jewish nation. He had been himself a long time high-priest; he had had five sons who had successively enjoyed the office of high-priest, and that office was now filled by his son-in-law. It was of importance, therefore, to obtain his sanction and counsel in their work of evil.
- "Annas" Lk 3:2
- "that same year" "And Annas send Christ bound unto Caiphas, the high priest," Jn 18:24
