John 18:24

Then Annas sent him, still tied up, ¹  to Caiaphas the high priest. ² 

Mt 26:57; Joh 18:13

¹ tn Or “still bound.”

² sn Where was Caiaphas the high priest located? Did he have a separate palace, or was he somewhere else with the Sanhedrin? Since Augustine (4th century) a number of scholars have proposed that Annas and Caiaphas resided in different wings of the same palace, which were bound together by a common courtyard through which Jesus would have been led as he was taken from Annas to Caiaphas. This seems a reasonable explanation, although there is no conclusive evidence.
