so he gathered all the high priests and scribes of the people and made inquiries of them about where the messiah was to be born.

From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he had to leave for Jerusalem and endure great suffering at the hands of the elders and high priests and scribes, and be killed and raised on the third day.

"We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be betrayed to the high priests and scribes; they will sentence him to death

But when the high priests and scribes saw his wonderful deeds and saw the children who shouted in the temple, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant;

When he entered the temple, the high priests and elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, "What authority have you for acting in this way? Who gave you this authority?"

When the high priests and Pharisees heard these parables they knew he was speaking about them;

Then the high priests and the elders of the people met in the palace of the high priest who was called Caiaphas

Then one of the twelve called Judas Iscariot went and said to the high priests,

While he was still speaking, up came Judas, one of the twelve, accompanied by a large mob with swords and cudgels who had come from the high priests and the elders of the people.

One of his companions put out his hand, drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

Then the high priest tore his dress and cried, "He has blasphemed! What more evidence do we want? Look, you have heard his blasphemy for yourselves!

When morning came, all the high priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to have him put to death.

Then Judas his betrayer saw he was condemned, and repented; he brought back the thirty silver pieces to the high priests and elders,

The high priests took the money and said, "It would be wrong to put this into the treasury, for it is the price of blood."

But while he was being accused by the high priests and elders, he made no reply.

But the high priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask Bar-Abbas and to have Jesus killed.

So, too, the high priests made fun of him with the scribes and the elders of the people.

Next day (that is, on the day after the Preparation) the high priests and Pharisees gathered round Pilate

While they were on their way, some of the sentries went into the city and reported all that had taken place to the high priests,
