Jesus was first taken to the former High Priest, Annas (John 18:13) who was also the father of Caiaphas, the High Priest at that time. It was to Caiaphas's house where Jesus was taken next. This fact is found in Matthew 26:57

∙ 10y agoFirst, it should be noted that the only source we have for this story is the New Testament, which is a book of Christian faith, rather than a book of objective history. There is no evidence that "the Jews" wanted Jesus crucified, nor that the majority of the rabbis and sages were concerned about him. That said, according to the New Testament, the High Priest at the time Jesus was crucified was named "Caiaphas" (Kai-uh-fuss). It is described that, during a meeting of priests who were concerned over the popularity of Jesus, he declared that Jesus should be killed instead of being allowed to go on teaching and performing miracles. He said "You don't realize that it's better for you that one man die for the people rather than the whole nation perish." (John 11:47-52) What he meantby this was that they ought to kill Jesus because he was bringing trouble to all the Jews, but Christians believe this is ironic, since Jesus's purpose was to die to save His people-- although not in the way that the high priests were thinking.
