No, Pontius Pilate was the Roman Procurator of Judea. (Like a governor). It was his job to keep the peace between Rome and Judea. Pilate was the authority in Judea, even over the High Priests except in religious matters.

When Jesus was brought to the Jewish leaders He was taken first to Annas. Annas had been the High Priest from A.D. 6 to A.D. 15. Then Jesus was taken to Caiaphas the current High Priest and son-in-law to Annas.
