Caiaphas was not a member of the Sanhedrin but served as the high priest in Jerusalem during the time of Jesus. The Sanhedrin was the supreme council and tribunal of the Jews, and as high priest, Caiaphas played a significant role within it, particularly in the trial of Jesus. His position allowed him to influence the council's decisions and actions.

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.


Why was Jesus taken to the Sanhedrin after his arrest?

The answer is in the synoptic gospels, Jesus was taken to the Jewish religious court, the Sanhedrin, so that it could determine the charges against Jesus to be brought to the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate. The author of John's Gospel was aware that the Sanhedrin would never have sat at night to try Jesus, so changed this. In John, Jesus was brought to the home of Annas, father-in-law to Caiaphas, the high priest John 18:13). Annas interrogated Jesus and then sent him to the house of Caiaphas (John 18:24), who in turn sent him for trial under Pontius Pilate..
