Exegesis
The kinship clause pentheros tou Kaiapha {πενθερὸς τοῦ Καϊάφα | penthe-ròs toû Kaï-á-pha} identifies Annas through his relation to Caiaphas by means of a genitive relationship.
Archiereus {ἀρχιερεύς | ar-khi-e-reús} functions as the predicate noun with en {ἦν | ē̂n}, while tou eniautou ekeinou {τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἐκείνου | toû en-i-au-toû e-keí-nou} narrows the office to a specific historical year. The syntax moves from arrest to sequence, from sequence to explanation, and then from explanation to time-bound authority.
