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] 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.

And he began to teach them that it was necessary [for] the Son of Man to suffer many [things] and to be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise.

"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles.

And the chief priests and the scribes heard [it], and began considering how they could destroy him. For they were afraid of him because the whole crowd was astounded by his teaching.

And they came again to Jerusalem. And [as] he was walking in the temple [courts], the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came up to him

Now after two days it was the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, [after] arresting him by stealth, they could kill [him].

And Judas Iscariot, who [was] one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order to betray him to them.

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

And they led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together.

Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, and they did not find [it].

And as soon as morning [came], [after] formulating a plan, the chief priests, with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin, tied up Jesus, led [him] away, and handed [him] over to Pilate.

And the chief priests began to accuse him [of] many [things].

(For he realized that the chief priests had handed him over because of envy.)

But the chief priests incited the crowd so that he would release for them Barabbas instead.

In the same way also the chief priests, along with the scribes, were mocking [him] to one another, saying, "He saved others; he is not able to save himself!

saying, "It is necessary [for] the Son of Man to suffer many [things] and to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised on the third day.

And he was teaching every day in the temple [courts], and the chief priests and the scribes and the most prominent men of the people were seeking to destroy him.

And it happened that on one of the days [while] he was teaching the people in the temple [courts] and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes approached together with the elders

And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay [their] hands on him at [that] same hour, and they were afraid of the people, for they knew that he had told this parable with reference to them.

And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they could destroy him, because they were afraid of the people.

And he went away [and] discussed with the chief priests and officers of the temple guard how he could betray him to them.

And Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come out against him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber?

And when day came, the council of elders of the people gathered, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away to their Sanhedrin,

So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, "I find no basis for an accusation against this man.

And the chief priests and the scribes were standing there vehemently accusing him.

So Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people

and how our chief priests and rulers handed him over to a sentence of death, and crucified him.

The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these [things] about him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers in order {to take him into custody }.

So the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And they said to them, "{Why} did you not bring him?"

So the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin and said, "What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs!

(Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, they should report [it], in order that they could arrest him.)

So the chief priests decided that they would kill Lazarus also,

So Judas, taking the cohort and officers from the chief priests and from the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

Pilate replied, "I am not a Jew, [am I]? Your people and the chief priests handed you over to me! What have you done?"

So when they saw him, the chief priests and the officers shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify!" Pilate said to them, "You take him and crucify [him]! For I do not find a basis for an accusation against him."

Then those shouted, "Away [with him]! Away [with him]! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your king?" The chief priests replied, "We do not have a king except Caesar!"

Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write 'The king of the Jews,' but, 'He said, I am king of the Jews.'"

And [when they] were released, they went to their own [people] and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

Now when both the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed concerning them, [as to] what this might be.

and here he has authority from the chief priests to tie up all who call upon your name!"

And all who heard [him] were amazed, and were saying, "Is this not the one who was wreaking havoc in Jerusalem [on] those who call upon this name, and had come here for this [reason], that he could bring them tied up to the chief priests?"

(Now seven sons of a certain Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.)

But on the next day, [because he] wanted to know the true [reason] why he was being accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to assemble, and he brought down Paul [and] had [him] stand before them.

who went to the chief priests and the elders [and] said, "We have bound ourselves under a curse to partake of nothing until we have killed Paul

And the chief priests and the most prominent men of the Jews brought charges against Paul to him, and were urging him,

concerning whom [when] I was in Jerusalem the chief priests and the elders of the Jews presented evidence, asking for a sentence of condemnation against him.

which I also did in Jerusalem, and not only did I lock up many of the saints in prison, having received authority from the chief priests, but also [when] they were being executed, I cast [my] vote against [them].

In {this activity} I was traveling to Damascus with the authority and full power of the chief priests.

So Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. (Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.)

and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all those who were from the high priest's family.
