Exegesis
The aorist indicative verb katebe {κατέβη | ka-té-bē} “he went down” has as its subject the articular phrase ho archiereus Hananias {ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς Ἁνανίας | ho ar-khi-e-reús Ha-na-ní-as}, combining title and proper name, which places the initiative for the journey on the high priest himself.
In context — Acts 24:1
After five days the high priest Ananias went down with some elders and a spokesman named Tertullus . These men presented their case to the governor against Paul .
