saying, Arise and take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they, that sought the child's life, are dead.

Now the chief priests and elders, and the whole council sought false-witness against Jesus, that they might put Him to death: but found none.

And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how to destroy Him; for they feared Him, because all the people were struck with his doctrine.

And they sought to lay hands on Him, but they were afraid of the people; (for they knew that He spake the parable against them) and they left Him, and went away.

And they were glad, when they heard it, and engaged to give him money. And he sought to betray Him at a proper season.

So they sought for Jesus, and said to one another in the temple, What think ye? that He will not come to the feast?

Upon this Pilate sought to release Him; but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Cesar's friend; for whosoever maketh himself a king, opposeth Cesar.
