  • Caiaphas
rdfs:comment
  • Caiaphas, formally known as Joseph Caiaphas, was a Jewish High Priest during the early and central parts of the New Testament, and was most likely present during Jesus Christ's trial before the Sanhedrin of the time. He is infamous for being a major player in the arrest, trial, and eventual Crucifixion of Christ.
  • Yehosef Bar Kayafa, also known simply as Caiaphas (Greek Καϊάφας) in the New Testament, was the Jewish high priest who organized the plot to kill Jesus. As alleged by the New Testament Writers, Caiaphas convinced the Jewish priests and Pharisees that Jesus should die and was also involved in the trial of Jesus after his arrest in the garden of Gethsemane. Although Caiaphas and the rest of the people who crucified Jesus were only a small fraction of the whole Jewish people, passages involving Caiaphas are among those cited by those claiming a Biblical justification for anti-Semitism.
