'Authorities' in the Bible

And when they take you before the Synagogues and the authorities and the rulers, take no thought about what answers you will give, or what you will say:

And when they had been made free, they came back to their friends, and gave an account of all the things which the chief priests and the authorities had said to them.

And when they had taken them before the authorities, they said, These men, who are Jews, are greatly troubling our town;

And the people made an attack on them all together: and the authorities took their clothing off them, and gave orders for them to be whipped.

But when it was day, the authorities sent the police, saying, Let these men go.

And the keeper said to Paul, The authorities have given orders to let you go: come out now, and go in peace.

And the police gave an account of these words to the authorities, and they were full of fear on hearing that they were Romans;

So now, will you and the Sanhedrin make a request to the military authorities to have him sent down to you, as if you were desiring to go into the business in greater detail; and we, before ever he gets to you, will be waiting to put him to death.

So that now to the rulers and the authorities in the heavens might be made clear through the church the wide-shining wisdom of God,

For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against authorities and powers, against the world-rulers of this dark night, against the spirits of evil in the heavens.

For by him all things were made, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, authorities, lords, rulers, and powers; all things were made by him and for him;

Having made himself free from the rule of authorities and powers, he put them openly to shame, glorying over them in it.

Make clear to them that they are to put themselves under rulers and authorities, to do what they are ordered, to be ready for every good work,

Who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been put under his rule.

In the same way these dreamers make the flesh unclean, having no respect for authorities, and say evil of rulers.
