'High priest' in the Bible

Then the high priests and the elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.

Suddenly, one of the men with Jesus reached out his hand, drew his sword, and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his ear.

Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had assembled.

Peter, however, followed him at a distance as far as the high priest's courtyard. He went inside and sat down with the servants to see how this would end.

At this, the high priest stood up and asked Jesus, "Don't you have any answer to what these men are testifying against you?"

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!"

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!
