John 18:13

AnnasCaiaphas

11 “Put your sword back in its sheath!” Jesus said to Peter. “Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?”

12 Then the band of soldiers, with its commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him.

They brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.

14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be better if one man died for the people.

15 Now Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he also went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.
