The opening as it read in 2015

Caiaphas The High Priest is depicted tearing his robe in righteous indignation at Jesus' perceived blasphemy - Cappella Scrovegni a Padova , Giotto di Bondone , Life of Christ The Caiaphas ossuary is one of twelve ossuaries or bone boxes, discovered in a burial cave in south Jerusalem in November 1990, two of which featured the name "Caiaphas".1 The especially beautiful ossuary is twice inscribed "Joseph, son of Caiaphas" and held the bones of a 60-year-old male. The limestone ossuary measures c. 37 cm high by 75 cm long and is housed in the Israel Museum , Jerusalem. It has been suggested that this belonged to Joseph, son of Caiaphas , known as the High Priest Caiaphas in the New Testament although this is disputed. According to the Canonical gospels , Caiaphas was the major antagonist of Jesus. It should be distinguished from the less ornate Miriam ossuary , which came to light in June 2011. The latter is a looted, though authenticated artifact from the Valley of Elah , bearing the inscription: "Miriam daughter of Yeshua son of Caiapha, priest of Ma’azya from Beit Imri".2
