Was Pilate the high priest during Jesus day?
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.
Who was the high priest and leader of the sanhedrin who put Jesus to death?
Caiaphas was the High Priest at the time of Jesus' death (Matthew 26:57). In the Gospel of John 18:12-14, we see that Jesus was taken first to Annas. Annas had been the High Priest from A.D. 6-15. Annas was still a powerful man and many still considered him High Priest. Caiaphas was Annas' son-in-law. Also 5 of Annas' sons were High Priest at one time or another. This once priestly office was contaminated greatly politically. Jesus was taken to Annas first to stall for time so that the full Sanhedrin could be gathered at Caiaphas' house for the trial of Jesus.
Who was the first high priest of the Israelites?
Aaron, Moses' brother, was the first high priest of Judaism in Exodus. His son, Eleazer was his replacement when he died.

To repent in Greek means to "turn around", to go a different direction.
Who was the High Priest when Jesus began his ministry Annas or Caiphas Luke Chapter 3?
Annas (Ananus) was high priest 6 to15 CE and Caiaphas was high priest over the period 26 to 35 CE. However, whereas high priests normally died in office, Annas was still alive and held in respect during the high priesthood of Caiaphas, as he had been deposed by the Romans. Josephus (Antiquities 18.2.2 35) "Tiberius sent Gratus to be procurator of Judea. This man deprived Ananus of the high priesthood. ... Joseph called Caiaphus was made his successor."
Who was in the higher position between Annas and Caiaphas?
Annas was actually high priest 6-15 CE, but was deposed by the Romans, an intervention that the Jews were most unwilling to accept. His son-in-law, Caiaphas, was high priest over the period 26-35 CE. So, at the time attributed to the crucifixion, the Romans would have regarded Caiaphas as the proper religious authority, but many Jews would have treated Annas as of comparable rank.
Who are the four people who presided over Jesus' trial?
