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.

Was John the Baptist like Jesus Christ?

Yes and No, they had the same human blood because they were cousins, and they both preached the Truth, which isn't done much even today. John was a Priest, Yeshua-(Jesus) became the High Priest. They both died for their belief which is Truth! But that's about where it stops. _______________________________________________________________
