1. Matthew 26:57

   Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.

   ›Commentary on Matthew 26:571 voice

   “(Verse 57.) And they who were holding Jesus led Him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. Moses, by God's command, had decreed that the priests should succeed their fathers, and that the line of succession should be preserved among the priests (Exodus 29). Josephus reports that Caiaphas purchased his high priesthood from Herod for a sum of money for only one year. Therefore, it is not surprising if this wicked high priest judges unjustly.

3. Luke 22:54

   Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.

   ›Commentary on Luke 22:541 voice

   “The wretched men understood not the mystery, nor had reverence unto an outpouring of compassion so merciful, that even His enemies He suffered not to be wounded. For it is said, Then look they him, &c. When we read of Jesus being holden, let us guard against thinking that He is holden with respect to His divine nature, and unwilling through weakness, for He is held captive and bound according to the truth of His bodily nature. Rightly he followed afar off, soon about to deny, for he could never have denied if he had clung close to Christ.
