Caïphe

According to the New Testament, Caïphe is the sovereign sacrificator in front of whom Jesus is led after his arrest. (Matthieu 26:57)

Caïphe, Jewish sadducéen, was large priest of the Sanhédrin during eighteen years (18 - 36). Promulgated at this station thanks to his father-in-law, influential the Large Priest Anân (or Anne), it however has neither the charisma of it nor the authority, being maintained with the head of the assembly mainly thanks to the support of his family.
According to the Gospel S, Caïphe, obséquieux towards the Roman capacity (“It is preferable that a man dies rather than the very whole nation”), did not cease persecuting Christianity incipient while in particular making appear the apostles before Sanhédrin to have continued to preach in spite of the prohibition of high the assemblée.
It is revoked into 36 by the legate Vitellius.
