and having assembled all the high-priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring of them, "Where the Christ should be born,"

From that time began Jesus to show to His disciples, that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and high-priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised up.

"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the high-priests and scribes; and they will condemn Him to death;

And the high-priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things which He did, and the boys who were crying in the temple, and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" were much displeased,

And, when He came into the temple, the high-priests and the elders of the people came to Him while He was teaching, saying, "By what authority art Thou doing these things? And who gave Thee this authority?"

And the high-priests and Pharisees, having heard His parables, knew that He was speaking concerning them.

Then the high priests and the elders of the people were gathered together into the court of the high priest who was called Caiaphas;

Then one of the twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, going to the high priests,

And, while He is yet speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a large multitude, with swords and clubs, from the high priests and elders of the people.

And, behold, one of those with Jesus stretching forth his hand, grasped his sword; and, smiting the servant of the high priest, he struck off his ear.

And those who seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

And Peter was following Him afar off to the court of the high priest; and, entering within, he was sitting with the attendants to see the end.

And the high priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false witness against Jesus, that they might put Him to death;

And the high priest, standing up, said to Him, "Answerest Thou nothing? What are these testifying against Thee?"

But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure Thee by the living God, that Thou tell us whether Thou art the Christ, the Son of God"

Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, "He blasphemed! What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, ye just now heard the blasphemy!

And, when morning came, all the high priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to put Him to death;

Then Judas, who betrayed Him, seeing that He was condemned, repenting, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the high priests and the elders,

And the high priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, "It is not lawful to cast them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood."

And, while He was being accused by the high priests and elders, He answered nothing.

But the high priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes, that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

Likewise also the high priests, mocking, with the scribes and elders, were saying,

And on the morrow which, indeed, is the day after the Preparation, the high priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

And, as they were going, behold, some of the guard going into the city, reported to the high priests all that had happened.
