during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

They brought him first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

Then the chief priests and the elders of the people met together in the palace of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.

Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the Roman governor’s residence. (Now it was very early morning.) They did not go into the governor’s residence so they would not be ceremonially defiled, but could eat the Passover meal.
