'''Yehosef Bar Kayafa''', also known simply as '''Caiaphas''' (Greek Καϊάφας) in the [[New Testament]], was the [[Judaism|Jewish]] [[List of High Priests of Israel|high priest]] who organized the plot to kill [[Jesus]].
As alleged by the New Testament Writers, Caiaphas convinced the Jewish priests and [[Pharisees]] that Jesus should die and was also involved in the trial of Jesus after his arrest in the garden of [[Gethsemane]]. Although Caiaphas and the rest of the people who crucified Jesus were only a small fraction of the whole Jewish people, passages involving Caiaphas are among those cited by those claiming a Biblical justification for [[anti-Semitism]].
