13 And G2532 led G520 him G846 away G520 to G4314 Annas G452 first; G4412 for G1063 he was G2258 father in law G3995 to Caiaphas, G2533 which G3739 was G2258 the high priest G749 that same G1565 year. G1763
Now Annas G452 had sent G649 him G846 bound G1210 unto G4314 Caiaphas G2533 the high priest. G749
And G1161 they that had laid hold G2902 on Jesus G2424 led him away G520 to G4314 Caiaphas G2533 the high priest, G749 where G3699 the scribes G1122 and G2532 the elders G4245 were assembled. G4863
And G1161 this G5124 spake he G2036 not G3756 of G575 himself: G1438 but G235 being G5607 high priest G749 that G1565 year, G1763 he prophesied G4395 that G3754 Jesus G2424 should G3195 die G599 for that G5228 nation; G1484

Commentary on John 18 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 18
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.
