Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 26:57

57 And they that had laid hold on Jesus, led him away to Caiphas the high priest, where the scribes, and the elders were assembled.

Mark, Ch. 14.53. saith. They led Iesus away to the High Priest, and with him were assembled all the Chief Priests, and the Elders, and the Scribes. Luke saith no more but Then they took him, and led him, and brought him into the High Priests House, Ch. 22.54. John saith, Then the Band, and the Captain, and the Officers of the Iews, took Iesus, and Bound him. And led him away to Annas first, for he was Father-in-Law to Caiphas, who was the High Priest that same Year. Ioh. 18.12, 13. All things were now out of order in the Jewish Church. Regularly, their High Priests were to be such as derived from the Eldest Son of Aaron, and were to hold in their place for Life, but they were now chosen Annually, and their Conquerours ruled the choice as they pleased. Yet some think, that in this the Jews kept something of their Ancient form, and the High Priest was chosen Regularly of the House of Aaron and for Life, but the Romans when they listed turned him out, and sold the Place to another, and such a one was Caiphas, who was at that time High Priest, Son-in-Law to Annas; their carrying of Christ first to Annas his House, was no more than to stay there a while till Caiphas, and the Council which was appointed to meet that Morning at the House of Caiphas could assemble.
