Giovanni 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.

Giovanni 18:24 In-Context

22 Ora quando Gesù ebbe dette queste cose, un de’ sergenti, ch’era quivi presente, gli diede una bacchettata, dicendo: Così rispondi tu al sommo sacerdote?

23 Gesù gli rispose: Se io ho mal parlato, testimonia del male; ma, se ho parlato bene, perchè mi percuoti?

24 Anna adunque l’avea rimandato legato a Caiafa, sommo sacerdote.

25 E Simon Pietro era quivi presente, e si scaldava. Laonde gli dissero: Non sei ancor tu de’ suoi discepoli? Ed egli lo negò, e disse: Non sono.

26 Ed uno dei servitori del sommo sacerdote, parente di colui a cui Pietro avea tagliato l’orecchio, disse: Non ti vidi io nell’orto con lui?
