Acts 7:1

The "high priest" probably refers to Caiaphas, the official high priest then, but possibly Luke meant Annas (cf. Acts 4:6). [Note: See my comments on 5:6.] Jesus had stood before both these men separately to face similar charges (John 18:13-14; John 18:24; Matthew 26:57). This was the third time that Christian leaders had defended their preaching before the Sanhedrin that Luke recorded in Acts (cf. Acts 4:15; Acts 5:27).
