13 and took him first to Annas. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was High Priest that year. 14 Jn 11.49,50It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jewish authorities that it was better that one man should die for all the people.

19 The High Priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching. 20 Jesus answered, "I have always spoken publicly to everyone; all my teaching was done in the synagogues and in the Temple, where all the people come together. I have never said anything in secret. 21 Why, then, do you question me? Question the people who heard me. Ask them what I told them—they know what I said."
22 When Jesus said this, one of the guards there slapped him and said, "How dare you talk like that to the High Priest!"
23 Jesus answered him, "If I have said anything wrong, tell everyone here what it was. But if I am right in what I have said, why do you hit me?"
24 Then Annas sent him, still tied up, to Caiaphas the High Priest.
