Ver. 12 Then the band, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews,.... Which Judas received, and which came along with him, John 18:3.

Charles H. Spurgeon
Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus and bound him, and led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
