While they were talking to the people, the high priests, the military commander of the temple, and the Sadducees came down upon them,

with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John and Alexander, and all the members of the high-priestly family.

As soon as they were let go, they came to their fellows, and showed all that the high priests and elders had said to them.

Then the high priest took action. He and all his colleagues, those who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy.

In obedience to this, they entered the temple complex at daybreak and began to teach.

When the high priest and those who were with him arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin—the full Senate of the sons of Israel—and sent orders to the jail to have them brought.

Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.

After they brought them in, they had them stand before the Sanhedrin, and the high priest asked,

“Is this true?” the high priest asked.

And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

went to the high priest, and demanded letters for the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any of this sect, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

and here he hath authority of the high priests to bind all that call on thy name."

He lost no time in preaching throughout the synagogues that Jesus was the Son of God ??21 to the amazement of all his hearers, who said, "Is this not the man who in Jerusalem harried those who invoke this Name, the man who came here for the express purpose of carrying them all in chains to the high priests?"
