アンナスの娘

The daughter of Annas the high priest became the wife of Caiaphas, the ruling high priest before whom Jesus was tried on the night of his arrest (John 18:13). Although unnamed in the biblical text, her identity as Caiaphas's wife is implied by the statement that Jesus was first taken to Annas 'since Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas.' The family connection between Annas and Caiaphas meant that the high priestly office and its associated political power remained concentrated within a single family during this period.
