'Sought' in the Bible

And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on sabbath.

For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.

And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

They sought therefore to take him; and no one laid his hand upon him, because his hour had not yet come.

They sought therefore again to take him; and he went away from out of their hand

The disciples say to him, Rabbi, even but now the Jews sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither again?

They sought therefore Jesus, and said among themselves, standing in the temple, What do ye think? that he will not come to the feast?

From this time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out saying, If thou releasest this man, thou art not a friend to Caesar. Every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar.
