Background |
| |
Annas (Hanan) was born into a wealthy High Priest family owning estates just outside Antioch. The land around the same area is still known as Hanan. |
| |
Traditionally, he is said to be the son of Seth, with no information provided as to his fathers influence, nor his claim to the priesthood. Regardless of any bribe that may have been paid to secure such position, Annas by law must have also had a legitimate hereditary claim to such a position. It is therefore highly probable that Annas is the younger brother of Simon Boethus (High Priest 25-6 BCE). |
| |
The birth at Antioch, a major ancient city with a significant and wealthy Jewish population can be accounted for by the previous reign of the Hasmoneans who appointed themselves both Kings and High Priests. The Boethus clan originally heralding from Alexandria. |
| |
In 6 CE, Annas secured the position of High Priest and held it for ten years. Annas had at least five sons and a daughter who married Joseph Caipaphas also known as Cantherus, the son of Simon Boethus his brother. |
| |
Eleazar (High Priest 16-17 CE), was the first of his sons to follow him, then Jonathan (36-37 and 41), Theophilus (37-41), Matthias (43) and Ananias (46-52 and 63). |
| |
A grandson through Theophilus named Matthias was also High Priest briefly during the period 65-66. |
| |
Through Caiaphas, three other grandsons of Annas were also High priests including Simon Caiaphas (41-43), Elionaeus (43-44) and Josephus (44-46). |
| |
Grandson through Matthias whose name was also Jseophus, later Flavius Josephus is famous as being the only surviving author of Jewish history as well as co-founder of Christianity as St. Luke. |
| |
While Annas died in 44 CE, allegedly immediately after appealing to James the Just, the blood brother of Jesus and the first Pope of Jerusalem to form a truce between the families. After James rejected the truce including a handsome blood payment for the murder of Stephen by the forces of Saul (Paul of Tarsus). |
| |
It was his death as patriarch of the Boethus/Annas House that became the catalyst for planned elimination of the House of Joseph, Ha-Rama-Theo and later the Nazarenes. |
