John Gill
And led him away to Annas first,.... Who is elsewhere mentioned with Caiaphas as an high priest also, Lu 3:2. He was the "sagan" of the high priest; he and Caiaphas seem to have had the high priesthood alternately; and either now, because his house lay first in the way, or rather, because he was a man of age, learning, and experience, as these men usually were, that they might supply the...
Matthew Henry
Hitherto this evangelist has recorded little of the history of Christ, only so far as was requisite to introduce his discourses; but now that the time drew nigh that Jesus must die he is very particular in relating the circumstances of his sufferings, and some which the others had omitted, especially his sayings.

Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
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.

The old sinner would not go to bed that night...
