Juan 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.

Juan 18:24 In-Context

22 Apenas dijo esto, uno de los guardias que estaba allí cerca le dio una bofetada y le dijo:—¿Así contestas al sumo sacerdote?

23 —Si he dicho algo malo —replicó Jesús—, demuéstramelo. Pero si lo que dije es correcto, ¿por qué me pegas?

24 Entonces Anás lo envió, todavía atado, a Caifás, el sumo sacerdote.

25 Mientras tanto, Simón Pedro seguía de pie, calentándose.—¿No eres tú también uno de sus discípulos? —le preguntaron.—No lo soy —dijo Pedro, negándolo.

26 —¿Acaso no te vi en el huerto con él? —insistió uno de los siervos del sumo sacerdote, pariente de aquel a quien Pedro le había cortado la oreja.
