Jean 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.

Jean 18:24 In-Context

22 Lorsqu'il eut dit cela, un des sergents qui était présent donna un soufflet à Jésus, en lui disant: Est-ce ainsi que tu réponds au souverain sacrificateur?

23 Jésus lui répondit: Si j'ai mal parlé, fais voir ce que j'ai dit de mal; mais si j'ai bien parlé, pourquoi me frappes-tu?

24 Et Anne l'envoya lié à Caïphe le souverain sacrificateur.

25 Et Simon Pierre était là, et se chauffait; et ils lui dirent: N'es-tu pas aussi de ses disciples? Il le nia et dit: Je n'en suis point.

26 Et l'un des serviteurs du souverain sacrificateur, qui était parent de celui à qui Pierre avait coupé l'oreille, lui dit: Ne t'ai-je pas vu dans le jardin avec lui?
