'High' in the Bible

One of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!

He did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear. (The slave’s name was Malchus.)

First they led Him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

Meanwhile, Simon Peter was following Jesus, as was another disciple. That disciple was an acquaintance of the high priest; so he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard.

But Peter remained standing outside by the door. So the other disciple, the one known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the girl who was the doorkeeper and brought Peter in.

The high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and about His teaching.

When He had said these things, one of the temple police standing by slapped Jesus, saying, “Is this the way you answer the high priest?”

Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

One of the high priest’s slaves, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you with Him in the garden?”
