Caiaphas. See on Matt. 26:57; Luke 3:2.

That same year. This does not mean that the high priest held office for one year only. Anciently the office was for life, but under the Romans the high priest was deposed and a new priest installed at will. Caiaphas held office from about A.D. 18 to 36 (see on Luke 3:1). “That same year” evidently means that decisive or memorable year in which our Lord was crucified.
