⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,

¹³ and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

¹⁴ Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.

⁵¹ Now he didn't say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

³ Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.

¹² Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He has taken the wise in their craftiness."

⁶ We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.

²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this world? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

⁶ Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹ But this multitude that doesn't know the law is accursed."

² in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.

²⁰ Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, And light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, And sweet for bitter!

²¹ Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!

²² Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, And champions at mixing strong drink;

²³ Who acquit the guilty for a bribe, But deny justice for the innocent!
