Commentary on Acts 4:6
The assembly of 'Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest' represents Judaism's most powerful tribunal. Annas, though deposed by Rome, retained 'high priest' title and real power as patriarch of the priestly dynasty. His son-in-law Caiaphas held official position. This concentration of power confronting uneducated fishermen demonstrates David versus Goliath pattern - God exalts the humble.
