and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest,

but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.

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

When He had said this, one of the officers standing nearby struck Jesus, saying, “Is that the way You answer the high priest?”

So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

One of the slaves of the high priest, being a relative of the one whose ear Peter cut off, *said, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”

Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
