Aaron, Moses' brother, was the first high priest of Judaism in Exodus. His son, Eleazer was his replacement when he died. As Christians, Jesus is now our high priest who stands between us and God as our mediator. We still sin as Christians, but we are forgiven if we are sincere when we repent. To repent in Greek means to "turn around", to go a different direction.

Annas was the first person Jesus was led to after He was arrested. Annas had been the High Priest in the years A.D. 6- A.D. 15. Annas' son-in-law was the current High Priest and Jesus was taken to him later. Even though Annas was not the High Priest he still had a strong voice in the Hebrew culture.

John specifically states that it was Annas. He is the only one who mentions the chronology of events.
