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.
