184:1.2 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas] had not seen [[Jesus]] for several years, not since the time when [[the Master]] called at his house and [[immediately]] left upon [[observing]] his coldness and reserve in [[receiving]] him. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas] had [[thought]] to presume on this early acquaintance and thereby attempt to [[persuade]] [[Jesus]] to abandon his claims and leave [[Palestine]].

[[Jesus]] was even more [[majestic]] and well [[poised]] than [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas] [[remembered]] him.

184:1.3 When [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_129#129:2._THE_TWENTY-EIGHTH_YEAR_.28A.D._22.29 Jesus was young], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas] had taken a great interest in him, but now his [[revenues]] were threatened by what [[Jesus]] had so recently done in [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_173#173:1._CLEANSING_THE_TEMPLE driving the money-changers] and other [[commercial]] traders out of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple the temple].

184:1.4 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas] entered his spacious [[audience]] chamber, seated himself in a large chair, and commanded that [[Jesus]] be brought before him. After a few [[moments]] spent in [[silently]] [[surveying]] [[the Master]], he said: " You [[realize]] that something must be done about your teaching since you are disturbing the [[peace]] and order of our [[nation|country]]. " As [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas] looked [[Inquiry|inquiringly]] at [[Jesus]], [[the Master]] looked full into his eyes but made no reply. Again [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas] [[spoke]], " What are the [[names]] of your [[disciples]], besides [[Simon Zelotes]], the [[agitator]]? " Again [[Jesus]] looked down upon him, but he did not answer.

184:1.5 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas] was considerably disturbed by [[Jesus]]' refusal to answer his [[questions]], so much so that he said to him: " Do you have no [[care]] as to whether I am [[friendly]] to you or not? Do you have no regard for the [[power]] I have in determining the issues of your coming [[trial]]? " When [[Jesus]] heard this, he said: " [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas], you know that you could have no [[power]] over me unless it were [[permitted]] by [[the Father|my Father]].

184:1.6 The [[kindly]] [[manner]] in which [[Jesus]] [[spoke]] to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas] almost bewildered him. But he had already [[determined]] in his [[mind]] that [[Jesus]] must either leave [[Palestine]] or die; so he summoned up his [[courage]] and asked: " Just what is it you are trying to [[teach]] [[the people]]? What do you claim to be? " [[Jesus]] answered: " You know full well that I have [[spoken]] openly to the world. I have taught in the [[synagogues]] and many times in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple the temple], where all the [[Jews]] and many of the [[gentiles]] have heard me. In [[secret]] I have [[spoken]] nothing; why, then, do you ask me about my teaching? Why do you not [[summon]] those who have heard me and [[inquire]] of them? Behold, all [[Jerusalem]] has heard that which I have [[spoken]] even if you have not yourself heard these [[teachings]]. " But before [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas] could make reply, the [[chief]] [[Servant|steward]] of the [[palace]], who was standing near, struck [[Jesus]] in the [[face]] with his hand, saying, " How [[dare]] you answer the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol high priest] with such [[words]]? " [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas] [[spoke]] no [[words]] of [[rebuke]] to his [[Servant|steward]], but [[Jesus]] addressed him, saying, " My [[friend]], if I have [[spoken]] [[evil]], bear [[witness]] against the [[evil]]; but if I have [[spoken]] the [[truth]], why, then, should you smite me?

184:1.7 Although [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas] [[regretted]] that his [[Servant|steward]] had struck [[Jesus]], he was too [[proud]] to take notice of the matter. In his [[confusion]] he went into another room, leaving [[Jesus]] [[alone]] with the [[Servant|household attendants]] and the temple guards for almost an hour.

184:1.8 When he returned, going up to [[the Master]]'s side, he said, " Do you claim to be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Messianism the Messiah], the deliverer of [[Israel]]? " Said [[Jesus]]: " [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas], you have known me from the times of my [[youth]].

184:1.9 About this time [[messengers]] arrived from the [[palace]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caiaphas Caiaphas] to [[inquire]] what time [[Jesus]] would be brought before the [[court]] of the [[Sanhedrin]], and since it was nearing the [[Morning|break of day]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas] thought best to send [[Jesus]] bound and in the [[custody]] of the temple guards to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caiaphas Caiaphas].[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Matthew#Chapter_26] He himself followed after them shortly.
