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

His winnowing shovel [is] in his hand, and he will clean out his threshing floor and will gather his wheat into the storehouse, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

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] the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them,

Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas,

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

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.

Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false testimony against Jesus in order that they could put him to death.

Now [when it] was early morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus in order to put him to death.

Then [when] Judas, the one who had betrayed him, saw that he had been condemned, he regretted [what he had done] [and] returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and elders,

But the chief priests took the silver coins [and] said, "It is not permitted to put them into the temple treasury, because it is {blood money}."

And {when he was being accused} by the chief priests and elders he answered nothing.

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabbas and put Jesus to death.

In the same way also the chief priests, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking [him], saying,

Now [on] the next day, which is after the day of preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled before Pilate,

And [while] they were going, behold, some of the guard of soldiers went into the city [and] reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.
