About this person

Annas ben Seth was appointed High Priest of Judaea in 6 AD by the Roman legate Quirinius, just after Rome deposed the Ethnarch Archelaus and placed Judaea under direct imperial control. He held the office until 15 AD, navigating the uneasy junction of Roman occupation and Jewish religious authority. The Gospels place him in the sequence of Jesus's arrest: brought before Annas for questioning before being handed to Pontius Pilate. His role in the Passion narrative has kept his name circulating for two millennia, less as biography than as a hinge in the story that reshaped the world.
