Matthew 26:57-68

Before Caiaphas (Mark 14:53-65; Luke 22:54; Luke 22:66-71). πρὸς Καιάφαν, to Caiaphas, who sent them forth, and who expects their return with their victim. ὄπου, where, i.e., in the palace of Caiaphas. γρ. καὶ πρ.: scribes and presbyters, priests and presbyters in Matthew 26:3. Mk. names all the three; doubtless true to the fact. συνήχθησαν, were assembled, waiting for the arrival of the party sent out to arrest Jesus. In Mk. the coming together of the Sanhedrim appears to be synchronous with the arrival of Jesus. This meeting happens when the world is asleep, and when judicial iniquity can be perpetrated quietly.
