Caiaphas (Yosef Bar Kayafa) was the Jewish High Priest, 18-36 CE, under Roman Governors Gratus and Pilate and Emperor Tiberius, at the time of John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth.
Overview
Caiaphas was the son-in-law of Annas. He was appointed by Roman governor Gratus in 18 CE and confirmed under Pontius Pilate.
Caiaphas ruled for almost 20 years. His tenure was the peak of power of the House of Annas.
Caiaphas was the High Priest at the time of John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth. According to Christian sources he (and Annas) played an active role in the condemnation of Jesus. Caiaphas continued to harass the Jesus movement, by imprisoning the apostles, condemning Stephen to death, and hiring Paul of Tarsus in a violent persecution against the Christian Hellenists.
In 36 CE, with the removal of the Roman governor Pilate, Caiaphas also was dismissed and succeeded by another member of the House of Annas, Jonathan ben Ananus.
