‏ John 18:12-14

Summary for John 18:12-14: 18:12-14 ^a Jesus was bound by the soldiers and returned to Jerusalem.

• First they took him to Annas, who had been the high priest and remained highly influential (five of his sons also became high priests). Caiaphas, his son-in-law, was the official high priest at that time (see 18:24 ^b).
18:14 ^c one man should die for the people: Caiaphas had previously made this political analysis (11:49-50 ^d). John points out the irony of this statement. Jesus’ death did not bring Israel political salvation—it brought spiritual salvation to all who believe.
