Johannes 18:24

24 Und Hannas sandte ihn gebunden zu dem Hohenpriester Kaiphas.

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 solches redete, gab der Diener einer, die dabeistanden, Jesu einen Backenstreich und sprach: Sollst du dem Hohenpriester also antworten?

23 Jesus antwortete: Habe ich übel geredet, so beweise es, daß es böse sei; habe ich aber recht geredet, was schlägst du mich?

24 Und Hannas sandte ihn gebunden zu dem Hohenpriester Kaiphas.

25 Simon Petrus aber stand und wärmte sich. Da sprachen sie zu ihm: Bist du nicht seiner Jünger einer? Er leugnete aber und sprach: Ich bin's nicht!

26 Spricht einer von des Hohenpriesters Knechten, ein Gefreunder des, dem Petrus ein Ohr abgehauen hatte: Sah ich dich nicht im Garten bei Ihm?
