11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink athe cup which My Father has given Me?”
Before the High Priest
12 Then the detachment oftroops and the captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him.
13 And athey led Him away to bAnnas first, for he was the father-in-law of cCaiaphas who was high priest that year.
14aNow it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was1 expedient that one man should die for the people.
Peter Denies Jesus
15aAnd Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so didbanother disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.
16aBut Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought Peter in.
Annas had been high priest before his son - in - law Caiaphas. And though he had for some time resigned that office, yet they paid so much regard to his age and experience, that they brought Christ to Annas first. But we do not read of any thing remarkable which passed at the house of Annas; for, which reason, his being carried thither is omitted by the other evangelists. Matthew 26:57; Mark 14:53; Luke 22:54.
