Mark 14:53 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:53

And they led Jesus away to the high priest
Caiaphas, as is added in the Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions. This was done, after they had took Jesus and bound, him, and after they had had him to Annas, who sent him bound to Caiaphas; see ( John 18:12 John 18:13 John 18:24 ) ;

and with him,
the high priest Caiaphas,

were assembled all the chief priests, and the elders, and the
Scribes;
even the whole sanhedrim, who met at Caiaphas's house, and were waiting there for Jesus; whom Judas with his band of soldiers and others, were gone to secure, and brng before them; (See Gill on Matthew 26:57).

Mark 14:53 In-Context

51 And a certain young man went after him, with only a linen cloth about his body; and they put their hands on him;

52 But he got away unclothed, without the linen cloth.

53 And they took Jesus away to the high priest; and there came together with him all the chief priests and those in authority and the scribes.

54 And Peter had come after him at a distance, even into the house of the high priest; and he was seated with the captains, warming himself in the light of the fire.

55 Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for witness against Jesus so that they might put him to death; and they were unable to get any.
