Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
