==Overview==
In 6 CE Annas (Ananus ben Seth) was the first high priest directly appointed by the Romans (specifically by the Roman legate [[Quirinius]]), after [[:Category:Herod Archelaus (subject)|Herod Archelaus]] was removed from office and Judea was turned into a Roman province. Annas served almost ten years as High Priest, under all the governors appointed by [[Augustus]]--[[Coponius]] (6-9 CE), [[Ambivulus|Marcus Ambivulus]] (9-12 CE), and [[Rufus|Annus Rufus]] (12-15 CE). In 15 CE, he was deposed by the Roman Governor [[:Category:Gratus (subject)|Gratus]], appointed by the new Emperor [[Tiberius]]. However, Annas remained a highly influential religious and political figure as five of his sons, as well as his son-in-law [[:Category:Caiaphas (subject)|Caiaphas]] and his grandson [[:Category:Matthias (subject)|Matthias]], held the office of High Priest. In the Gospel of John, Annas figures prominently in the Passion story of [[:Category:Jesus of Nazareth (subject)|Jesus of Nazareth]], as a sort of éminence grise controlling de facto the Jewish priesthood in the first century CE.
