quick reference; John 18:13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

It appears that Annas, who had been the High Priest until only a short time before still wielded significant influence and may have been in a kind of 'co-regency' with his son-in-law. See Acts 4:6.
