Wherefore have nations assembled in tumult? Or should, peoples, mutter an empty thing?

But, when King Herod heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;

Then, went the Pharisees and took, counsel, that they might ensnare him, in discourse.

Then, were gathered together, the High-priests and the Elders of the people, into the court of the High-priest who was called Caiaphas;

Now, when morning came, all the High-priests and Elders of the people took, counsel, against Jesus, so as to put him to death:

The High-priests and Pharisees, therefore, brought together a high-council, and were saying - What are we to do, in that, this man, doeth, many signs?

Saying - What are we to do with these men? For, indeed, that a notable sign hath come to pass through their means, unto all who are dwelling in Jerusalem, is manifest, and we cannot deny it !

Delight

Thou lovest Evil more than good, Falsehood, more than speaking righteousness. Selah.

Falsehood, I hate and abhor, Thy law, do I love.

Eyes that are lofty, a tongue that is false, and hands shedding innocent blood;

A word of falsehood, the righteous man, hateth, but, the lawless, causeth shame and disgrace.

By their wickedness, they gladden a king, and, by their flatteries, - rulers.

Ye, are, of your father - the adversary, and, the covetings of your father, ye choose to be doing. He, was, a murderer, from the beginning, and, in the truth, he stood not; because truth is not in him: Whensoever he speaketh falsehood, of his own, he speaketh; because, false, he is, and, the father of it.

Who, indeed, having acknowledged the righteous sentence of God, - that, they who such things as these do practise, are worthy of death, not only, the same things, are doing, but are even delighting together with them who are practising them .

Outside, are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the unchaste, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one loving and doing falsehood.

Bless

Do not drag me away - with the lawless, or with the workers of iniquity, - who speak peaceably with their neighbours, but, wrong, is in their heart.

Smoother than curds, were the words of his mouth, But, war, was in his heart, - Softer his words than oil, Yet, they, were drawn swords!

And, watching narrowly, they sent forth suborned men, feigning themselves to be, righteous, that they might lay hold of a word of his, so as to deliver him up unto the rule and the authority of the governor.

Inwardly

For in his mouth is nothing worthy of trust, Their inward purpose, is engulphing ruin, - An opened sepulchre, is their throat, With their tongue, speak they smooth things.

Lo! faithfulness, hast thou desired in the inward parts, Yea, in the hidden part, wilt thou cause me to know, wisdom.

And the Lord said unto him: Now, ye, the Pharisees, the outside of the cup and of the tray, do make pure; but, your inward part, is full of plunder and wickedness.

I have, in fact, a sympathetic pleasure in the law of God; according to the inner man.
