Exegesis
`Kaiaphas {Καϊάφας | Kaïáphas}` is then identified by the articular participle `ho symbouleusas {ὁ συμβουλεύσας | ho symbouleúsas} ‘the one who had advised’`, a substantival construction that recalls a prior act and marks him by that counsel.
In context — John 18:14
Now Caiaphas was the one who had given counsel to the Jews that one man dying would be to the advantage of the people.
