And the scholars and the chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him, for they feared him, because all the people were awed at his doctrine.

And they sought to seize him. And they feared the multitude, for they knew that he spoke the parable against them. And having left him, they went away.

Now after two days was the Passover and the unleavened bread. And the chief priests and the scholars sought how, having take him with trickery, they might kill him,

And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him silver. And he sought how he might betray him conveniently.

Now the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, and did not find it.
