Picture This

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. Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.-John 18:12-14***When Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was with his 12 disciples and apostles at the Last Supper, and Jesus had washed each man's feet, Judas Iscariot left to betray Jesus. Simon Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James (Alphaeus' son), Lebbaeus (Judas?) Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean went with Jesus to Gethsemane, at the Mount of Olives. Simon Peter, James and John went a farther distance with Jesus, and Jesus went a farther distance without them 3 times. Jesus returned to the disciples, and Judas Iscariot approached with an armed group sent from the chief priests, scribes, elders, and temple officials. Jesus was arrested. After Simon Peter cut off the ear of Malchus, the servant of the high priest, Jesus performed a healing miracle, the 11 disciples ran away, and the arresters took Jesus to Annas, the previous high priest. Afterwards, Jesus was taken to Caiaphas, and Pontius Pilate, the governor of Judea for the Roman Empire. Pontius Pilate sent Jesus to Herod Antipas the tetrarch, ruler of Galilee for the Roman Empire. Jesus was ridiculed and regally dressed, and Herod Antipas returned Jesus to Pontius Pilate. Jesus was flogged, sent away with soldiers, undressed, mockingly dressed, mocked, beaten, spat upon, redressed, and crucified at Golgatha. Pontius Pilate allowed Joseph of Arimathea, a secret disciple of Jesus the Christ, to take the crucified body of Jesus. Joseph and Nicodemus wrapped and prepared the body of Jesus for burial, and placed the body of Jesus in the new, unused tomb Joseph owned. Jesus was resurrected on the 3rd day after his burial. Before Jesus returned to heaven 40 days after his resurrection, Jesus appeared and spoke to Mary Magdalene, and Simon Peter and the other disciples, and Cleopas and the person walking with Cleopas, and Jesus appeared to over 500 believers.

Reference Scriptures:
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.-Luke 3:2

And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.-John 11:49-52
