Then the leading priests and the older Jewish leaders had a meeting at the palace where the high priest {\cf2\super [393]} lived. The high priest’s name was Caiaphas.
Annas and Caiaphas were the high priests. {\cf2\super [45]} At that time, a command from God came to John, the son of Zechariah. John was living in the desert.
Caiaphas did not think of this himself. He was high priest {\cf2\super [184]} that year. So he was really prophesying {\cf2\super [185]} that Jesus would die for the Jewish people.
Where is the wise person? Where is the educated person? Where is the philosopher {\cf2\super [7]} of this time? God has made the wisdom of the world foolish.
We teach wisdom to people that are mature. But this wisdom we teach is not from this world. It is not the wisdom of the rulers of this world. Those rulers are losing their power.
