And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
All Commentaries on Matthew 26:57 Go To Matthew 26
Jerome
AD 420

Josephus relates that the disreputable Caiaphas purchased the high priesthood from Herod for one year only. No wonder, then, the dishonorable high priest judges dishonorably. .
