and [after] calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired from them where the Christ was to be born.

From that time [on] Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many [things] from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised on the third day.

"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and 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 shouting in the temple [courts] and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant.

And [after] he arrived at the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him [while he] was teaching, saying, "By what authority are you doing these [things]? And who gave you this authority?"

And when his stories came to the ears of the chief priests and the Pharisees, they saw that he was talking of them.

Then the chief priests and the rulers of the people came together in the house of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.

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

to the chief priests, and said, What will ye give me, and I will deliver Him to you? and they promised him thirty pieces of silver:

And [while] he was still speaking, behold, Judas--one of the twelve--arrived, and with him a large crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

And lo, one of those with Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, drew his sword, and having struck the servant of the chief priest, he took off his ear.
