Caiaphas was high priest during Jesus' ministry. (Luke 3:2) His father in law was High Priest Annas (John 18:13) and Caiaphas held this office about 18 - 36CE, longer than most, because he was a diplomat, and Pilate liked him.(Acts 5:17).
He was a major player in the plot to kill Jesus, (John 11:49-53; 18:12-14), and at Jesus' trial before the Sanhedrin, Caiaphas swore that Jesus should die because he had blasphemed (Matthew 26:65). He undoubtedly was part of the crowd screaming for Jesus' execution (John 19:6, 11),asking for the release of Barabbas (Matthew 27:20, 21; Mark 15:11) and shouting: "We have no king but Caesar" (John 19:15)(John 19:21).
Caiaphas continued as the chief persecutor of Christianity, even after Jesus' death, so the apostles were called before him and sternly commanded to stop their preaching (Acts 4:5-7; 5:17, 18, 21, 27, 28, 40, 42). He killed Stephen, and gave Saul of Tarsus the letters to promote the killing of Christians into Damascus. (Acts 7:1, 54-60; 9:1, 2)
All in all, a very unsavory character.
