Caiaphas » Jesus tried before
Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had assembled.
"You know that the Passover will take place in two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified." Then the high priests and the elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.
But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest told him, "I command you by the living God to tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God!" Jesus told him, "You have said so. Nevertheless I tell you, from now on you will see "the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power' and "coming on the clouds of heaven.'" Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? Listen! You yourselves have just heard the blasphemy!
Then Jesus was led from Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters early in the morning. The Jews did not go into the headquarters, to avoid becoming unclean and unable to eat the Passover meal.
