They returned to the Temple in the midst of the confusion, and were perfectly thunderstruck at all which had taken place there.

They spoke most sternly, both to Annas and to Caiphas, and left the Temple.

Annas had always been the most bitter of the enemies of Jesus, and had headed every proceeding against him; but the supernatural events which had taken place had completely unnerved him that he knew not where to hide himself.

Caiphas was, in realty excessively alarmed, and filled with anxiety, but his pride was so great that he concealed his feelings as far as possible, and endeavoured to reassure Annas.

He succeeded for a time; but the sudden appearance of a person who had been dead many years marred the effect of his words, and Annas became again a prey to the most fearful terror and remorse.
Whilst these things were going on in the Temple, the confusion and panic were not less in Jerusalem.
