Archaeology: Caiaphas' family tomb

In 1990, builders accidently uncovered a first century A.D. burial cave south of Jerusalem. Later, archaeologists investigated, and found several stone boxes (called ossuaries) that contained human bones.

Inside the stone boxes were the bones of two infants, a child, a teenager, a woman, and a man. One box had the name "Caiaphas" on it. The man's bones may be those of Caiaphas, the priest who brought Jesus to trial, mentioned in Matthew 26:57 and John 18:13-14. Hopefully, additional information will be able to confirm this find.
