Caiaphas the High Priest

Caiaphas the High Priest
Caiaphas the high priest served in Jerusalem from about 18 to 36 AD. History tells us that he was the son-in-law of Annas, and likely from the tribe of Levi. As a member of the Jewish priestly class, Caiaphas was part of the sect of the Sadducees, who served in priestly as well as political and judicial roles. The other main religious group was the Pharisees - who focused more on religious laws and teaching in the local synagogues. The Sadducees tended to be corrupted by money and more interested in the political power and benefits that came from close ties with the Romans.
Caiaphas the high priest is an important historical anchor for three of the Gospels - Matthew, Luke and John. He is also attested in the writings of Roman historian Flavius Josephus, where Josephus attests to his name, position, and time of service as high priest. Interestingly, Josephus specifies that he was “Joseph son of Caiaphas,” but that he was also known as “Joseph who was called Caiaphas.” This explains why the Gospels merely use the name “Caiaphas.”
The name “Joseph son of Caiaphas” is also found on an ossuary - or, bone box -- found just outside the walls of first-century Jerusalem. In 1990, a tomb was accidently discovered during a construction project, and subsequently excavated. Twelve ossuaries were found inside the rock-cut tomb, two of which contained the family name “Caiaphas.” The ossuary inscribed with “Joseph son of Caiaphas” was particularly ornate. Inside, remains of six individuals were discovered, including a man about 60-years-old.
The tomb where the ossuary was found also contained a coin of Herod Agrippa I dated 42/43 AD, which places this ossuary in the right place at the right time. Based on the evidence, most scholars now accept that this artifact is the very ossuary that held the bones of Joseph Caiaphas, the Jewish high priest and the man who became such an important part of the Gospel story.
According to the Gospel of John, “Caiaphas was the one who advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people” (John 18:14). The chief priests gave orders that anyone knowing the whereabouts of Jesus should notify them immediately so he could be arrested. Passover was approaching, and the Temple officials figured that Jesus wouldn’t pass on the opportunity to show up in Jerusalem.

EngaPheniks, agreed the Death of Jesus is supposed to end the vices of Satan, or the translation, “The adversary”. That said, people have long used this historical occurrence in order to fall to vice. So, what is true justice, indulgence off of an innocent man’s blood, or penitence that someone had to be sacrificed in order for justice to be upheld?

Its crazy. They dedicate their whole life to serving God under the patterns taught to Moses. Then when The Son of God. The Messiah that was foretold in scripture, rides into Jerusalem for Passover on a donkey fulfilling the 70 week prophecy of Daniel. They are scared what the Romans might do, but they should have trusted in God. He was right there with them. Obviously the sacrifice had to happen. All of the people at that time were being manipulated by dark spiritual forces. Because Jesus took the weight of all the sin and death of the world past present and future on his shoulders. If the enemy knew what his plan was they never would have killed him

[@jackjones3657]

Isn't it interesting that his bones were found outside the boundary of Jerusalem. He turned on and had the Son of God killed and now he isn't even afforded having his bones within Jerusalem, which he said he was so concerned with protecting. Woe to him.

This is interesting , I was in Larnaca Cyprus and in the Church of saint Lazarus , there was Lazarus's Ossuary in the church which read " LAZARUS FRIEND OF JESUS " the first thing that came to my mind was how did he fit in there , some of his bones were taken to France or Rome , I can't remember which one. But this documentary now explains to me how only his bones would of been put in there , not his whole body. The funny part is I learned this from the ossuary of the man that wanted to kill him . JOHN 12: 9 Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead. 10But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, 11because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus

Caiaphas' biggest sin was forgetting what the laws says. No high priest is to take off his hat or tear his clothes. He is not to leave the sanctuary. He shall go unto any dead body. He shall not defile himself for his mother or his father. All this we know he did. The one that makes me wonder why it was included in Leviticus is he is to also not marry a none virgin. That would render all his line ineligible to be high priest.

The Hebrews were scattered abroad they were the lost sheep that gave no attendance at the alter and from the Hebrews came Christ

I have read alot of peoples opinions of caiaphus and have prayed about it for many years... i know the church doctrine concerning him, but consider what i say and pray about it. If jesus is our passover lamb, then he must be sacrificed for the people. The high priest has that job to sacrific for the people. If this is true, then the high priest HAD to willingly sacrifice jesus. Caiaphus knew the scriptures. Caiaphus knew what was required of him. Caiaphus did NOT rubber stamp the conviction of jesus. He disqualified all the false witnesses against jesus , and the conversation between jesus and himself was more like between friends than judge. Caiaphus invalidated his priesthood when he tore his priestly garment...he did not stand as witness before pilate. They had to repair his robe and perform the ceremonies in the temple even though he was no longer a priest. Anna took over in the sanhedrun as is says in acts, caiaphus sat next to annas and annas did the talking. Caiaphus was just a figurehead appointed by the prefect in syria until he was removed and annas' son became high priest... so was he really evil ? Or just maligned because people do not understand what happened ? It was always interesting to me, when the last lamb was sacrificed, the high priest wold say it is finished.... and on that day, our passover lamb was hanging on a tree and said at the same time... it is finished...

[@touco9077]

Good job Cai you nailed God to a cross, you must be a Jewish genius!

[@FatherVampire]

Two Simple Questions: Why did the Jewish Priests pay Judas to identify Jesus (Yeshua) when they as well as most everyone else knew who Jesus was and what He looked like? When the arrest party arrived, was it not Jesus who pointed out this very fact: "Jesus said to them, 'Have you come with swords and clubs to arrest me like you would an outlaw? DAY AFTER DAY I WAS WITH YOU, teaching in the temple courts, yet you did not arrest me.'" (Mark 14:48-49, Matt 26:55, Luke 22:53)? Jesus KNEW them... and, more importantly, they KNEW Him. Judas wasn't needed at all. So... what's really going on here?! Why was Peter warming himself by the fire outside Caiaphas' residence SITTING WITH THE GUARDS (Mark 14:54, Matt 26:58, Luke 22:55), the same guards who had just arrested Jesus ... and from whom Peter had fled in terror after assaulting one of the arrest party with a sword? And the obvious follow-up question: When recognized repeatedly, why didn't Peter flee the area... and why didn't the guards immediately arrest him on the spot?! So... what's really going on here?! Once you finally take the time to figure out the glaring answers to these two simple questions... the truth behind Jesus's REAL betrayal and His own "apostles'" full complicity in it becomes crystal clear.

[@KristiTalk]

This was thought provoking and I think you brought out some interesting points to consider. Couple thoughts… Without going back and reading the scripture, I thought Judas was waiting for an opportune moment for the betrayal to take place. As Jesus said, basically, why didn’t you do this in the day? It’s probably because they needed Judas to let them know when people were not around, although the battle rattle from the guards would have been loud, I think the people would have been afraid to go out and see what was happening. Don’t forget Peter did try to save Jesus and cut off one of the guard’s ears. Jesus told him to stand down and mentioned that He had 12 legions of angels, about 185k, at his disposal. Peter was told not to fight. In my opinion he felt bold and fearless by Jesus, but perhaps looking around at the soldiers, he began to feel gripped by greater and greater fear. John doesn’t mention what he was doing in Caiaphas’ palace. I find it interesting that Caiaphas knew John and yet they took help from Judas. Why didn’t they arrest John but yet questioned Peter to the point he felt afraid? I have a theory, but people seem to become angry at me when I say it. 😆 You may disagree with me, but I did enjoy reading your deep and thoughtful perspective.

[@FatherVampire]

@@KristiTalk ​ ... Thank you for your reply and for acknowledging the points brought up. (Yes... this reply is gonna be a long one... split into two parts.) As I hope you are aware, the Gospels accounts weren't written by the eye-witnesses, themselves. Instead, they were written second and third-hand, at best...and always with the motivation of promoting belief among believers and proselytes, alike. This is common to the "marketing materials" of ALL vested interest groups. Thus, while the basic scenarios and events may be founded in historical fact, yet obviously they weren't written by objective biographers, historians or journalists... but instead faith-promoting leaders of a fledgling new religion dependent upon its pro-Christian content to attract and retain its growing tithe-paying numbers. Thus... as we clearly expect and see... each new Gospel appearing contains more and more such faith-promoting events and opinions along with its growing Christological concepts becoming the established orthodox dogma of that new religion. In Mark, the earliest Gospel, we find a nothing-but-the-facts attitude with little embellishment and little established dogma. Even the resurrection is not claimed... only that the tomb was empty implying that Jesus (or His body, at least) was no longer there. It wasn't until decades later that the longer version of Mark was ADDED to it making the claims it does for the Resurrection (which details contradict those re: the Resurrection in the subsequent Gospels [further indicating embellishment as NONE of the Gospels even remotely agree on this claimed event]). Hopefully I don't need to cover ground long established by Biblical scholars re: the writing and compilation of the Gospels. But if such is needed, I would highly recommend the book "Who Wrote the New Testament" by the acclaimed John Wesley Professor, Burton L. Mack. There are many other great books written by academicians both Christian and Agnostic that agree on these points. Okay... so let's move forward. If we seek to have any hope of separating history from faith-promoting beliefs re: that history, we must approach the Gospel accounts with an objective and exegetical eye... toward picking out the kernels of likely truth from amidst the layers of faith promotion... to point out when the Gospel narratives don't make sense, to realize when the account is deviating from reality. And where Yeshua's (Jesus') "Betrayal" and Trial are concerned... never are these discrepancies and glaring contradictions more in evidence. One of the best books pointing out such is the wonderful book, "The Trial and Death of Jesus" written by Israeli Supreme Court Justice, Hiam Cohn... himself expert in 1st Century Jewish Law and who points out the many impossible scenarios claimed in the New Testament re: Jesus' trial and His being handed over to the Romans and successfully prosecuted for Sedition (treason against the Roman State)... in which he points out, in part, there MUST have been WITNESSES to Jesus' sedition against Rome for this to have flown with the Sanhedrin and, most especially, before Pontius Pilate. Which means... there HAD to have been WITNESSES testifying of Jesus' sedition. So... who were they? The Gospels very craftily mention "false witnesses" whose testimonies we are expected to believe were thrown out for being "contradictory." And yet, the only mention made of their testimony was, in fact, true! Jesus did indeed state that if this "temple" were destroyed, He would restore it in three days. True... it was misunderstood... but that testimony wasn't false! And further, nothing in that statement supports a charge of Sedition against Rome. Blasphemy? Arguably, yes. But, Sedition? Nope! And Rome wouldn't crucify for blasphemy... a charge considered ludicrous to Romans given they couldn't care less what religion you were so long as you bowed the knee to the Emperor. So right there we know we're being lied to. SOMEONE (or actually... MANY) would have had to bear testimony of Sedition sufficient to convince the Sanhedrin and then, more importantly, Pilate, of Jesus being guilty of a capital offense before He would have been crucified. So.... WHAT was that testimony and, more importantly... WHO gave it? Okay... so back to the Garden of Gethsemane scenario... You believe Peter would have had the balls to raise a sword alone against an armed arrest party from the Temple Guard and others? Really?! One man against a contingent of trained armed guards? Does that make any sense? Or does it sound like someone crowing after the fact to make himself look brave? Think about it. Wanna know what makes less sense, still...? That they would allow him to slice off the ear of the High Priest's servant... and NOT arrest him! And what makes even LESS sense? That Peter would voluntarily walk right up to those SAME GUARDS just an hour or so later outside Caiaphas' palace as Jesus is inside being tried... and SIT WITH THEM at the fire and remain there as he is recognized over and over again... with the Guards right there... and NOT ONE of them giving a damn (?!?!!?!!!) Would ANY law enforcement person anciently or today do that?! If you, as a police officer, witnessed someone you were sent to arrest suddenly assault another of your own arrest party with a deadly weapon... would you just let him go?! And if you later SAW that same person... would you do likewise? And if that SAME PERSON then came right over and sat down right next to you... would you just ignore him?! Especially when others are pointing at him and saying THAT's one of the guys belonging to the suspect's "posse" on trial right now!!! And yet... everyone just reads the Gospels and never dares to question a word of any of it... despite these glaring discrepancies and rational impossibilities. And why? Because that's been the accepted narrative for almost 2,000 years. It's a 2,000 year-old "Emperor's New Clothes" story no one dares to challenge, sadly. Obviously... we're being fed a story designed to make the "apostles" look good when, in fact, simple knowledge of history reveals a scenario FAR more likely and that matches the Gospel facts: On a charge of Sedition, Jesus would not have been the only one arrested. ALL of them would have been. Sedition is, as a crime, a conspiracy against the Government for its disruption and possible overthrow. And a conspiracy of one ... is no conspiracy! You can't overthrow Roman rule by just one person. Jerusalem was FILLED with Jews who hated Rome, so Rome was extremely vigilant and often overzealous in its pursuit and eradication of "zealous" Jews... and understandably, the Sanhedrin certainly knew this. Thus, if Jesus were to be successfully executed... THAT was the charge that would do it. BUT... they had to also have WITNESSES to testify at trial and provide real EVIDENCE AGAINST JESUS before the Sanhedrin, first, and again before Pilate. Thus, the trial at Caiaphas' residence was more like a "grand jury" proceeding to see whether there was enough evidence of Sedition to warrant a trial the following day before the Sanhedrin. And there was! That's how the legal system worked then and basically rather unchanged now! Same basic principles we have today... because Rome's system was taken and adapted from the Greeks... as also is ours. And the means to OBTAIN that Sedition evidence is the same today as then, too... ... thus, you arrest EVERYONE associated with Jesus... and then find those willing to turn State's evidence against the Leader so as to proceed successfully AGAINST that Leader. And that's exactly what they did. EVERYONE was arrested... not just Jesus. And many of them, if not all, chose to turn State's evidence against Jesus in return for NOT BEING PUNISHED (executed), themselves. And, thus, only Jesus was executed while his "co-conspirators" (you can't have a successful trial "proving" Sedition without co-conspirators!) were given light sentences and set free. ...

[@FatherVampire]

@@KristiTalk ... PART TWO And that's exactly what happened: Jesus was executed and ALL the "apostles" were set free. And THERE'S the real Betrayal... that matches the Gospel facts. PETER was indeed seated with the guards... because he was also under arrest. And he was outside Caiaphas' residence because he had agreed to testify against Jesus and was awaiting his turn to do so. He was one of the very "false witnesses" the Gospels acknowledges yet pooh-poohs away as inconsequential... when, in fact, their testimonies against Jesus were NOT thrown out but would have been the ONLY legit evidence against Him... and that were absolutely successful in getting Jesus crucified as "King of the Jews" ... for Sedition. THAT's what really happened. It's the only scenario perfectly matching the Gospel facts presented... and that aligns perfectly with Jewish and Roman law in the 1st Century. But now... the "apostles" have got a REAL problem!!! How do they explain ALL THIS and still have it appear as though THEY had nothing to do with Jesus' death?! OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE had to have done SOMETHING to get Jesus arrested and successfully tried and crucified! And that's when the ridiculous story of "Judas" (a name that simply means... "a Jew") was concocted... that somehow kissing Jesus on the cheek for money (despite the arrest party KNOWING Jesus already)... was all it took to get Him crucified (?!). Sadly... no one questions what they've been told... because it's been told for 2,000 years. It's the ultimate "Santa Claus" Story: No one questions how Santa could possibly deliver toys via sleigh and flying reindeer to ALL the children in the world in a single night! And ... like you... many believers invent all sorts of rationalizations for explaining it... until they are all forced to realize... it's impossible. That doesn't mean there wasn't a REAL Saint Nicolas; there was! But, we have to apply our brains to separating fact from fiction regarding him. And the same with Yeshua (Jesus). And the same, also, re: the Gospel narratives for Yeshua. Yes, He was historical... and He WAS the literal Son of the God of Israel. But, no... He was not the Messiah, was not the "Savior" and never started a new religion. His mission was specific ONLY to the "lost sheep of the House of Israel," as He twice declares in the Second Gospel written, Matthew... and to accomplishing the Final Harvest of those "Lost Sheep" toward building up of the "Kingdom of Heaven" on Earth... that had NOTHING to do with a new religion. But... that's as far as I'm gonna take it here. :) (If more is desired, you're welcome to take a peek at my newly launched Father Vampire KZbin Channel (only the first episode at present) where... in subsequent series... all of this will be discussed more in depth.)

[@KristiTalk]

@@FatherVampire I’ll be honest. I didn’t notice your user name until now. I probably wouldn’t have replied had I seen Vampire. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ Only one of your comments made it, but I was able to read both. The reason I won’t reply much is because you’re cherry picking truth. If you have decided to cherry pick a gospel writer, and give John Wesley (the father of the Methodist church?) and other agnostics greater respect, then we won’t be able to agree on what are facts. For example, I can point out things you didn’t mention about the garden of Gethsemane and discuss Greek words concerning the situation, but if you decided it’s false we’ll go nowhere. You aren’t the only person I know that doesn’t use scripture as finally authority. Not that I’m dismissing the discussion, it’s just I know points will fall on deaf ears to each other, and round and round we go. I think the real problem here, that’s been going on for centuries, is a powerless church. And I don’t say this with a rude or condescending attitude. When people haven’t seen the miracles of God in manifestation, it leaves them to pick apart the Bible and inject fallible beliefs/doctrines in an attempt to understand with the natural mind. For example, have you known anyone that’s been raised from the dead? I do. Have you seen medical miracles? I am one multiple times. Have you seen demons cast of out people? Have you personally known someone that told prophesy and it come to pass? Have you seen word of wisdom and/or word of knowledge in manifestation? If not, then it’s like I said, it’s powerless churches making excuses for where the pastors fall short, creating problems through the centuries. We have professing Christians going to fortune tellers expressing how accurate they are, when in fact they’re communicating with low level imps. We also have professing Christians saying how if you chant and touch this table with your fingers, this object can move; congratulates to them messing with more low level imps. Christians think that’s where the power is at. NOOOO!! There is greater power in Christ. Generations of not knowing or having someone come in to contact with a little power causes so many splits in belief. I won’t speak against the Word, because I won’t take a religious demon that will cut off my supply to the power of God and give me nothing but crazy in return. I don’t want to give up visions, I don’t want to give up the ability to cast out demons, I don’t want to give up wisdom and foreknowledge, I don’t want to give up miracles, i don’t want to give up prophesy, I want to continue to see answered prayer and mighty works of God. All I can say to you is Lord bless your eyes and ears to see truth from Him.

So enslaved are you by them you cannot permit yourself to consider facts and evidences contrary to them. So sad. How I hope someday you might have the courage and strength to value following Truth over Belief. As Jesus, Himself, declared to those such as yourself... "Strait is the gate and narrow the way...And FEW there be that FIND it." How I hope you may someday choose to start finding and following that path instead of following the masses who never question anything but simply follow what they're told. Best wishes in all.

Caiaphas reminds me of a modern day purveyor of fake news. He was the only one I can find who prophesied that Jesus would die to save his people. Odd how his words have been taken as a truth with a very different meaning without discerning the legitimacy of the source. Perhaps another truth is also at play, that Jesus' guidance to seek the hidden meaning in his parables as well as his chosen life would show us how to save ourselves.....or we continue to disregard the builders cornerstone and believe Caiaphas.

Great HERO! ..The Pharisees were the led by the rabbis and Sanhedrin (rabbinical supreme court). The word "Pharisees" comes from the Hebrew word perushim, "separatists." There are various views as to the etymology of this word. One explanation is that they separated themselves from the follies and pleasure of the world. Another is that they were careful to maintain ritual purity, and separated themselves from those who did not strictly observe these laws.The Sadducees rejected the Oral Torah and the leadership of the rabbis. Many of them were rich priests and they took control of the priesthood, sometimes buying their way into the office of High Priest. Those who wanted to befriend the Romans were mostly Sadducees.And Sanhedrin IS BACK!!

Caiphas knew that he Jesus was for the gentiles! And was fulfilling scripture., maybe also he was Joseph of arimetha? In cognito

The Christian disbelievers are no better than this evil Caiaphas creature (if he is even real in name) and those corrupt so called priests. God has no “sons” or any need for offspring or anything! may he be glorified. He only need say “be” and it will be. Above is he and not befitting his majesty what the disbelievers ascribe to him. None come to Allah but as servants. Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed (peace be upon them all) were nothing but humble servant prophets!
