They took Jesus to Annas first — he was Caiaphas's father-in-law, and Caiaphas was the high priest that year.

While Annas and Caiaphas were running things as high priests, God spoke directly to John (Zacharias's son) out in the middle of nowhere.

Annas the high priest was there, along with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and basically all the other important religious leaders from the high priest's family circle — they all gathered together in Jerusalem.
