Caiaphas Ossuary Confirms Gospel Character
In 1990, workers discovered an ornate limestone bone box inscribed with “Joseph son of Caiaphas.” This ossuary contained the remains of the high priest who, according to the Gospels, played a key role in Jesus’ trial. The ossuary dates precisely to the biblical timeframe. Physical anthropological examination confirmed the bones belonged to a man about 60 years old. This find verifies another specific New Testament figure.
