The age and genealogy of Jesus from Joseph upwards. during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas This phrase situates the narrative within a specific historical and religious context. Annas and Caiaphas were influential figures in the Jewish religious hierarchy. Annas, though not the acting high priest at the time, retained significant influence, having been succeeded by his son-in-law Caiaphas. The dual mention of their high priesthood underscores the political and religious complexities of the time, as the high priesthood was often subject to Roman influence. This setting highlights the tension between the Jewish authorities and the emerging Christian message, as well as the corruption and political maneuvering that characterized the religious leadership of the period. the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness Unto John the son of Zacharias.--This description of the Baptist is peculiar to St. Luke. (2) As we go further back the names are all different till we come to Zerubbabel; and the list in St. Luke from Zerubbabel to Joseph contains twenty names, inclusive, while those in St. Matthew are only thirteen. (2) The difference in the number of names presents no real difficulty. We have seen (Note on Matthew 1:9) that St. Matthew omits three names in the list of kings in order to adapt it to the memoria technica of fourteen names in each group, and what he did in one case he may well have done in another for the same reason. Verse 2. - Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests. The older authorities read, "in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas." The mention of two high priests arises from the fact of the legitimate high priest, Annas, having been deposed some fifteen years previously by the action of the then Roman procurator, Valerius Gratus In spite of this official deposition, he still apparently continued to be regarded as the legitimate high priest by the great majority of his countrymen. His great position and claim to the pontifical office, as we shall see, was markedly recognized at the time of the state trial of our Lord. Since his deposition by the Roman government, four high priests had been promoted in succession to the office of chief pontiff. It appears that at this time and for a long series of years, this great and powerful man, although not daring publicly to defy the Roman authority by assuming the insignia of the high priest, filled the office of Nasi, or president of the Sanhedrin. The word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. In the days of the above-mentioned rulers - pagan and Jewish, civil and ecclesiastical-came the summons to the son of Zacharias in his solitude in the wilderness. From childhood he had been designated for some great work, and he knew it; his whole early life had been a training for it; and at last the summons came. We are not told of its special form; it was doubtless a theophany, or a vision somewhat similar to the which revealed to Moses and Isaiah, to Jeremiah and Ezekiel, their special work, and the way in which that special work was to be done.Parallel Commentaries ...
