Personal name of the high priest · dominant
The name identifies the high priest in several clause roles: in John 11:49 the nominative form names the speaker described as high priest, while in John 18:24 and Matthew 26:57 the accusative form marks the destination to whom Jesus is sent or led. In John 18:13, Luke 3:2, and Matthew 26:3, the genitive form occurs in descriptions involving his high-priestly position or setting.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the name as "Caiaphas," sometimes adding or placing it with "the high priest." The surrounding titles and actions describe the verse context rather than a separate rendering of the name.
