Jesus Taken to Annas
12Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the
Jewish officials arrested Jesus.
They bound him 13 and 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 good if one man died for the people.
