Jesus Before The High Priest

[12] Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, [13] And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year. [14] Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.

And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

• Caiaphas

And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

• Court

And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

• Concerning

From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

• Jesus
• Perjury
• Rulers

Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

• Jesus
• Blasphemy
• Falsehood

Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
