And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.

From that time Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and be raised again the third day.

Be hold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David, their anger was aroused,

And after he had come into the temple, the chief priests and elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said: By what authority do you these things? And who gave you this authority?

And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.

Then the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people met together at the palace of the chief priest, who was called Caiaphas.

Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,

And while he was yet speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.

And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his ear.

And those who took Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and elders had come together.

But Peter followed him, at a distance, to the palace of the chief priest, and went in and sat with the attendants, to see the end.

And the chief priests and the elders, and the whole Sanhedrin, sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death,

And the chief priest arose, and said to him: Do you make no answer? What do these testify against you?

But Jesus remained silent. And the chief priest answered and said to him: I adjure you, by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God?

Then the chief priest rent his clothes, and said: He has spoken impiously; what further need have we of witnesses? See now, you have heard his impious words:

When the morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people held a consultation against Jesus, that they might put him to death.

Then Judas, who had delivered him up, when he saw that he was condemned, stung by remorse, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

And the chief priests took the money, and said: It is not lawful to put it into the sacred treasury, because it is the price of blood.

And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he made no answer.

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitude to ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, derided him, and said:

On the morrow, which was the day after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,

While they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city, and told the chief priests all things that were done.
