Annas = "humble"

 1) high priest of the Jews, elevated to the priesthood by Quirinius
    the governor of Syria c. 6 or 7 A.D., but afterwards deposed by
    Valerius Gratus, the procurator of Judaea, who put in his place,
    first Ismael, son of Phabi, and shortly after Eleazar, son of
    Annas. From the latter, the office passed to Simon; from Simon c.
    18 A.D. to Caiaphas; but Annas even after he had been put out of
    office, continued to have great influence.
