Joseph Caiaphas (Luke 3:2), a Sadducee(Acts 5:17) was the son-in-law of High Priest Annas (John 18:13)(Luke 2:42-49), a wealthy and powerful family from the tribe of Levi. Annas was removed as High Priest, and replaced with Caiaphas, by Valerius Gratus, the predecessor of Pontius Pilate, starting sometime between 18-26 C.E.to 36 C.E.
He and Pilate were reportedly good friends.
Much of their wealth came, reportedly, through the selling of sacrifices within the temple grounds, which is undoubtedly one reason they tried to kill Jesus, when he twice cleansed the temple, which they had made "a cave of robbers." (John 2:13-16; Matthew 21:12, 13; Mark 11:15-17; Luke 19:45, 46)
