Johannes 18:24 Meaning and Commentary

John 18:24

Now Annas had sent him bound
As he found him, when the captain, band, and officers brought him to him; who having pleased himself with so agreeable a sight, and had asked him some few questions, and perhaps insulted him, sent him away in this manner,

unto Caiaphas the high priest:
his son-in-law, as the more proper person to be examined before; and especially as the grand council was sitting at his house. This was done before Peter's first denial of Christ; which, it is plain, was in the palace of the high priest, and not in Annas's house; though there seems no reason on this account to place these words at the end of the 13th verse, as they are by some, since they manifestly refer to time past, and do not at all obscure or hinder the true order of the history, as standing here.

Johannes 18:24 In-Context

22 Als er aber dieses sagte, gab einer der Diener, der dabeistand, Jesu einen Backenstreich und sagte: Antwortest du also dem Hohenpriester?

23 Jesus antwortete ihm: Wenn ich übel geredet habe, so gib Zeugnis von dem Übel; wenn aber recht, was schlägst du mich?

24 Annas nun hatte ihn gebunden zu Kajaphas, dem Hohenpriester, gesandt.

25 Simon Petrus aber stand und wärmte sich. Da sprachen sie zu ihm: Bist nicht auch du einer von seinen Jüngern? Er leugnete und sprach: Ich bin's nicht.

26 Es spricht einer von den Knechten des Hohenpriesters, der ein Verwandter dessen war, welchem Petrus das Ohr abgehauen hatte: Sah ich dich nicht in dem Garten bei ihm?
