Then the high priest brought many accusations against him,

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,

According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.

Instantly then his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he burst out in praises to God.

in the time of the high priest Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

he is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And [when] a flood came, the river burst against that house and was not able to shake it, because it had been built well.

But the one who has [merely] heard and has not practiced [what I say], is like a [foolish] man who built a house on the ground without any foundation, and the torrent burst against it; and it immediately collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”

Jesus answered him, and said to him, "Simon, there is something I want to say to you." He said, "Proceed, Master."

And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

It happened while he was saying this, that a certain woman out of the crowd shouted to him, saying, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breast that you have sucked."

For these are all things the nations of the world are in pursuit of, and your Father knows well that you need them.

But make His Kingdom the object of your pursuit, and these things shall be given you in addition.

On one of the days while he was teaching the people in the Temple and preaching the gospel, there came up the priest and the Scribes with the elders.

It will be hard for women who are with child, and for her with a baby at the breast, in those days. For great trouble will come on the land, and wrath on this people.

The Chief Priest and the Teachers of the Law were looking for an opportunity of destroying Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.

And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

He was also followed by a great crowd of people, and of women too, who were beating their breast and lamenting him.
