Caiaphas
Judas Iscariot handed Jesus to the chief preists and pharisees who brought Him to the high preist and then brought Him to Pilate
Jesus was handed over to be crucified by the Jewish religious leaders and authorities, led by the high priest Caiaphas, who accused him of blasphemy and sought his execution. Ultimately, it was Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, who sentenced Jesus to death by crucifixion.
The New Testament says that Jesus was taken to the high priest Annas who then sent him to the high priest Caiaphas. He was then sent to Pontius Pilate to be prosecuted for claiming to be the King of Jews.
In A.D. 33 Joseph Caiaphas was the high priest of the Jews of whom accused Jesus of blasphemy, '...this man has blasphemed against God', as seen in the Acts of Pilate, of which contains the reports of that period of time, found and translated by Ananias.
i think it was Judas. i go to a catholic school, so if I'm wrong, im sorry. :( :)
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.
In the temple the priest Simon noticed that the baby was Jesus.

There were many 'priests' around in that time... all from the tribe of Levi (as commanded in the Old testament). None of these, including the chief priests, are mentioned by name in the Gospel accoun t of the trials. However, the HIGH priest - the chief of all the priests, was mentioned. He was Caiaphas (pronounced Kigh - a - Fass) and it was he who led the Jewish trial against Jesus.
No one. The Romans weren't looking for Jesus. The Israeli religious leaders arrested Jesus, took Him to the Romans, handed Him over to them, and demanded that they (Romans) execute Him.
Caiaphas, according to the New Testament, was a Jewish High Priest, so he must have been from the subsection of Levites called Cohens (the descendants of Aaron, Moses's brother). Since Aaron was himself a Levite, all Cohens are Levites.
