and, assembling all the high-priests and scribes of the people, he was enquiring of them - Where is, the Christ, to be born?

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

Then, went one of the twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, unto the High-priests,

And, while, yet, he was speaking, lo! 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 lo! one of those with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, grasped his sword, and smiting the servant of the High-priest, cut off his ear.

And, they who secured Jesus, led him away unto Caiaphas the High-priest, where the Scribes and the Elders gathered themselves together.

Now, Peter, was following him afar off, unto the court of the High-priest, - and, entering within, was sitting with the attendants, to see the end.

Now, the High-priests and all the High-council, were seeking false-witness against Jesus, that they might, put him to death;

And the High-priest, arising, said unto him - Nothing, answerest thou? What are these, against thee bearing witness?

But, Jesus, was silent. And, the High-priest, said unto him: I put thee on oath, by the Living God, that, to us, thou say - Whether, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God.

Then, the High-priest rent asunder his garments, saying - He hath spoken profanely! What further need have we, of witnesses? Lo! now, ye have heard the profanity!

Now, 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 had delivered him up, seeing that he was condemned, being smitten with remorse, returned the thirty pieces of silver unto the High-priests and Elders,

But, the High-priests, taking the pieces of silver, said - It is not allowed, to cast them into the treasury; since, a price of blood, they are.

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 claim Barabbas, but, Jesus, should, destroy.

Likewise, the High-priests, also, mocking, with the Scribes and Elders, were saying: Others, he saved, - Himself, he cannot save:

And, on the morrow, which is after the preparation, the High-priests and the Pharisee were gathered together unto Pilate,

Now as they were, going, 1o! certain of the guard, went into the city and reported unto the High-priests all the things that had come to pass;
