The men who arrested Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane marched Him through the night to the house of one man: Joseph Caiaphas, the high priest of Israel. It was Caiaphas who presided over the trial, Caiaphas who tore his robes and cried blasphemy, Caiaphas who declared that Jesus deserved death. And it was Caiaphas who, according to John, had already told the council months earlier that it was better for one man to die for the people than for the whole nation to perish, words the Gospel calls an unwitting prophecy. For nearly two thousand years, Caiaphas existed only in texts: the Gospels and the historian Josephus, who confirms his name and his years in office. Then, in November 1990, workers were building a water park in the Peace Forest, just south of Jerusalem's Old City. Heavy equipment broke through the ceiling of a hidden burial cave that had been sealed since the first century. Inside was a family tomb from the very generation of Jesus. And among the limestone bone boxes, called ossuaries, one stood out immediately. It was the most ornate ever found in Jerusalem, carved with intricate rosettes, the box of a wealthy and powerful family. Scratched into its side, in Aramaic, was a name: Joseph, son of Caiaphas. Inside were the bones of a man about sixty years old. Understand what an ossuary is, and why this find was even possible. For roughly a single century, from about the time of Jesus' birth to the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, Jerusalem's Jews practiced secondary burial: the body was laid in a tomb for a year, and after the flesh had gone, the bones were gathered into a carved stone box. This custom pins the tomb precisely to the Gospel era. The man in that ornate box was laid to rest by hands that lived through the events of the New Testament. The identification fits from every angle. Josephus gives the high priest's full name as Joseph, called Caiaphas, matching the inscription exactly. The extraordinary wealth of the ossuary fits the high priestly aristocracy. The age of the bones fits a man who held power for eighteen years, one of the longest tenures of any high priest of the era, and who would have died in the decades that followed. The tomb sat in the necropolis of Jerusalem's elite. Honesty requires saying that a minority of scholars have questioned the identification. The tomb itself is relatively modest compared to some priestly tombs, and the name Caiaphas, while rare, was not unique. The majority position among archaeologists is that this is indeed the family tomb of the high priest of the Gospels, but it rests on the convergence of strong evidence rather than a formal title carved in stone. Said plainly: it is very probably him, and certainly his family. Now hold the two images side by side, because this is where the find becomes a sermon. Caiaphas was the most powerful religious figure in Israel. He wore the sacred vestments, controlled the temple, commanded the council. On that night, Jesus stood before him bound, spat upon, condemned, seemingly powerless. Caiaphas judged the Son of God and sentenced Him to death, then went on with his life, secure in his authority. Two thousand years later, the judge's bones sat in a box under a construction site for a children's water park, discovered by accident, catalogued by archaeologists, his power reduced to an artifact in a museum drawer. And the man he condemned? His tomb is empty. It has been empty since the third day. The whole world knows His name, and hundreds of millions call Him Lord. The high priest sentenced Jesus to death; death could not hold Jesus, and it held Caiaphas completely. There is one more layer. As high priest, Caiaphas' most sacred duty came on the Day of Atonement, when he alone entered the Holy of Holies to offer blood for the sins of the people, year after year, a sacrifice that always had to be repeated. The letter to the Hebrews says the true High Priest is Jesus, who entered once for all with His own blood and sat down, because the work was finished. Caiaphas condemned the very sacrifice his own office had pointed to for centuries. His last act as the Bible's final significant high priest was, without knowing it, to send the true Lamb to the altar. To the world, the Gospel trial is a legend, its characters inventions. But the governor who washed his hands left his name on a stone in Caesarea, and the priest who tore his robes left his bones in a box in Jerusalem. The record keeps proving true, and it keeps preaching: every earthly power that set itself against Jesus is now dust and artifacts, and He is alive. Where you stand with Him is the only verdict that will outlast your own ossuary. Caiaphas asked Jesus, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?" The question echoes down to every one of us. He is. Answer wisely. Jesus is the great High Priest and the risen Lord. Thank You, Jesus.

The "Fourteen Holy Helpers" are a group of saints invoked because they have been efficacious in assisting in trials and sufferings. Each saint has a separate day for commemoration, and the group was collectively venerated on August 8, until the 1969 reform of the Roman calendar, when the feast was inexplicably dropped. All of the saints except St. Giles were martyrs. The Fourteen Holy Helpers are invoked as a group because of the Black Plague which devastated Europe from 1346 to 1349. Among its symptoms were the black tongue, a parched throat, violent headache, fever, and boils on the abdomen. The victims were attacked without warning, robbing them of their reason, and killed within a few hours; many died without the last Sacraments. No one was immune, and the disease wreaked havoc in villages and family circles. The epidemic appeared incurable. The pious turned to Heaven, begging the intervention of the saints, praying to be spared or cured. Each of these fourteen saints had been efficacious in interceding in some aspect for the stricken during the Black Plague. The listed dates are the traditional feast days; not all the saints are on the General Roman Calendar. 1-St. Blaise (also Blase and Blasius) (February 3), bishop and martyr. He is invoked against diseases of the throat. Blessing of the throats takes place on his feast day. 2-St. George (April 23) soldier-martyr. Invoked for protection for domestic animals and against herpetic diseases. Also patron of soldiers, England, Portugal, Germany, Aragon, Genoa and Venice. 3-St. Acathius (also Acacius) (May 8), martyr. Invoked against headaches and at the time of death's agony. 4-St. Erasmus (also St. Elmo) (June 2), bishop and martyr. He is invoked against diseases of the stomach and intestine, protection for domestic animals and patron of sailors. 5-St. Vitus (also St. Guy) (June 15), martyr.Invoked in epilepsy, chorea ("St. Vitus' dance"), lethargy, and the bites of poisonous or mad animals and against storms. Also protection for domestic animals. Patron of dancer and actors. 6-St. Margaret of Antioch (July 20), virgin and martyr. Invoked against backache. Patron for women in childbirth. 7-St. Christopher (also Christophorus) (July 25), martyr. Invoked against the plague and sudden death. He is the patron of travelers, especially motorists, and is also invoked in storms. 8-St. Pantaleon (July 27), bishop and martyr. Invoked against consumption, protection for domestic animals and patron of physicians and midwives. 9-St. Cyriacus (also Cyriac) (August 8), deacon and martyr. Invoked against diseases of the eye and diabolical possession. Also interceded for those in temptation, especially at the time of death. 10-St. Giles (also Aegidius) (September 1), hermit and abbot. Invoked against the plague, panic, epilepsy, madness, and nightmares and for a good confession. Patron of cripples, beggars, and breastfeeding mothers. 11-St. Eustace (also Eustachius, Eustathius) (September 20), martyr. Invoked against fire — temporal and eternal. Patron of hunters. Patron in all kinds of difficulties, and invoked in family troubles. 12-St. Denis (also Dionysius) (October 9), bishop and martyr. Invoked against diabolical possession and headaches. 13-St. Catherine of Alexandria (November 25), virgin and martyr. Invoked against diseases of the tongue, protection against a sudden and unprovided death. Patroness of Christian philosophers, of maidens, preachers, wheelwrights and mechanics. She is also invoked by students, orators, and barristers as "the wise counselor." 14-St. Barbara (December 4), virgin and martyr. Invoked against fever and sudden death. Patron of builders, artillerymen and miners. Also invoked against lightning, fire and sudden death.
