One of them, Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year, told them, “You people don’t know anything.
Have you met a person who thinks he is wise? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
Then the chief priests and the leaders of the people gathered in the palace of the chief priest Caiaphas.
It was at the time when Annas and Caiaphas were chief priests that God spoke to John, son of Zechariah, in the desert.
Caiaphas didn’t say this on his own. As chief priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation.
The chief priest Annas, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and the rest of the chief priest’s family were present.
Where is the wise person? Where is the scholar? Where is the persuasive speaker of our time? Hasn’t God turned the wisdom of the world into nonsense?
However, we do use wisdom to speak to those who are mature. It is a wisdom that doesn’t belong to this world or to the rulers of this world who are in power today and gone tomorrow.
