Although he was not the acting high priest at the time, he retained considerable influence, especially as the father-in-law of Caiaphas. This transfer of Jesus from Annas to Caiaphas highlights the procedural aspect of the Jewish trial system, where Annas likely conducted a preliminary examination before sending Jesus to the official high priest for a formal trial. This reflects the complex power dynamics within the Jewish leadership and the importance of Annas' role despite his lack of official title.<p><b>still bound</b><br>The binding of Jesus signifies His status as a prisoner and the severity with which the authorities viewed Him. This act of binding is symbolic of the rejection and humiliation Jesus faced, fulfilling the prophecy of the suffering servant in <a href="/isaiah/53.htm">Isaiah 53</a>. It also prefigures the sacrificial nature of His mission, as He willingly submits to the authorities, foreshadowing His ultimate sacrifice on the cross.<p><b>to Caiaphas the high priest</b><br>Caiaphas was the acting high priest during this period, serving from AD 18 to 36. His role was both religious and political, as he was responsible for maintaining order and representing Jewish interests to the Roman authorities. Caiaphas' involvement in Jesus' trial underscores the tension between Jesus' teachings and the established religious order. This transfer to Caiaphas is significant as it sets the stage for the formal trial before the Sanhedrin, where Jesus would be condemned. Caiaphas' actions also fulfill the prophecy of <a href="/psalms/2.htm">Psalm 2</a>, where the rulers conspire against the Lord's Anointed.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/annas.htm">Annas</a></b><br>A former high priest who held significant influence over Jewish religious affairs.

The reading is uncertain; some MSS. read "Therefore;<span class= "ital">"</span> some read "Now;" some omit the word altogether. On the whole, the evidence is in favour of "therefore." The tense is an aorist, and cannot properly have a pluperfect force. The rendering of the Authorised version is based upon the opinion that Jesus had before been sent to Caiaphas, and that all which followed from <a href="/john/18-13.htm" title="And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.">John 18:13</a> (see margin there) had taken place after the close of the investigation before Annas. This view is certainly more probable than that the words "high priest" should be used of Annas and Caiaphas indiscriminately (comp. Note on <a href="/john/18-15.htm" title="And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.">John 18:15</a>), but both do violence to the ordinary meaning of language, and, if the interpretation which is adopted in these Notes is correct, neither is necessary.<p>Jesus was still "bound;" as He had been from <a href="/john/18-12.htm" title="Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,">John 18:12</a>.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/john/18.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 24.</span> - The <span class="greek">οϋν</span> is quite in John's style, and the verse should read, <span class="cmt_word">Annas therefore sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest</span>; <span class="accented">i.e.</span> to the full court of the Sanhedrin, under the presidency of Caiaphas, now got together for the judicial sifting and verdict. If John had intended a pluperfect sense to be given to the verb, why not use that tense? The relative clauses, where the aorist is used for the pluperfect, are not relevant here (Meyer). In other cases the context clearly reveals the occasion of such a sense (see <a href="/matthew/16-5.htm">Matthew 16:5</a>; <a href="/matthew/26-48.htm">Matthew 26:48</a>). John is not unaware of the momentous consequences of this act of Annas, seeing that he refers to them, nor of the fact of the accusation made by the false witnesses, nor of the judicial condemnation which followed Christ's own claim to be the Son of God. The subsequent narrative implies such condemnation (Vers. 29, 30, 35; <a href="/john/19-11.htm">John 19:11</a>). The author of this narrative does not ignore the fact of the appearance before Caiaphas, nor the issue; but in consequence of the wide diffusion of the synoptic Gospels, he merely called attention to the facts which they had omitted so far as they bore directly on the human character of the Lord. The theological bias with which the evangelist is credited by some would be strangely subserved both by the omission of the scene before Caiaphas, and by the faithful record of this purely human and beautiful trait in the personal character of Jesus. The fact that the fourth evangelist should have recorded facts of which he was eye-witness, and omitted others which would have forcibly sustained his main thesis, is an invincible evidence of historicity. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/john/18-24.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">Then</span><br /><span class="grk">οὖν</span> <span class="translit">(oun)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3767.htm">Strong's 3767: </a> </span><span class="str2">Therefore, then.
