Caiaphas Broke Silence About Jesus Just Before His Passing And Revealed Some Terrifying Knowledge

as commander in Galilee during the first Jewish revolt against Rome. After his capture, Josephus gained favor with the imperial family by writing histories sympathetic to Rome. Still, Caiaphas' mention of him along with the year in which he assumed the high priesthood provided early extrabiblical testimony to his existence. In 1990, archaeologists discovered surprising physical evidence that Caiaphas was a real historical figure. While excavating a burial site south of the Old City of Jerusalem, they discovered bone boxes beautifully decorated with Aramaic inscriptions. One was labeled Joseph, son of Caiaphas. It even contained the remains of a 60-year-old man, the appropriate age given the year of Caiaphas' elevation to high priest mentioned by Josephus.

Science could now weigh in on the textual accounts of this pivotal biblical character. As a result of modern archaeology, there is no doubt that the High Priest Caiaphas played a real and unpleasant role in the political maneuvering that led to the demise of Jesus Christ. His decision to sacrifice a man for his nation changed the course of history more than he could have imagined. Like this video and subscribe to see more interesting videos.
