Matthew 26:57

Matthew 26:57 Led [him] away to Caiaphas, the high priest. He was first examined by Annas, the former high priest, the father-in-law of Caiaphas, probably while the Sanhedrin was assembling in the darkness of the night (John 18:13). For the trial of Christ, compare Mark 14:53-64 Lu 22:54-71 Joh 18:13-18. The scribes and the elders were assembled. Mark says the "chief priests" (Mark 14:53) also. It was a gathering of the Sanhedrin. Those who were favorable to Jesus, like Joseph and Nicodemus, were probably not called.
