| The texts for the first three Sundays in Advent include links to such events of public consequence as the Roman destruction of the temple (Advent 1:Lk 19:28-40, 21:21-25), and the beginning of John's preaching is synchronized with the reigns of Tiberius, Pontius Pilate, the Herods, and the High Priest Caiaphas (Advent 2: Lk 3:1-6), stopping just short of Luke's account of the palace intrigue that caused John's imprisonment (Advent 3: Lk 3:7-18, 19-20). So Herod and Caiaphas and their ilk served at the pleasure of Pilate, who served at the pleasure of Rome. Caiaphas presents a difficult paradox for conservatives in particular. |
