'High' in the Bible

So he assembled all the High Priests and Scribes of the people, and anxiously asked them where the Christ was to be born.

From this time Jesus began to explain to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer much cruelty from the Elders and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised to life again.

Six day later, Jesus took with Him Peter and the brothers James and John, and brought them up a high mountain to a solitary place.

"We are going up to Jerusalem, and there the Son of Man will be betrayed to the High Priests and Scribes. They will condemn Him to death,

But when the High Priests and the Scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done and the children who were crying aloud in the Temple, "God save the Son of David," they were filled with indignation.

He entered the Temple; and while He was teaching, the High Priests and the Elders of the people came to Him and asked Him, "By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you this authority?"

After listening to His parables the High Priests and the Pharisees perceived that He was speaking about them;

Then the High Priests and Elders of the People assembled in the court of the palace of the High Priest Caiaphas,

At that time one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the High Priests

He had scarcely finished speaking when Judas came--one of the Twelve--accompanied by a great crowd of men armed with swords and bludgeons, sent by the High Priests and Elders of the People.

But one of those with Jesus drew his sword and struck the High Priest's servant, cutting off his ear.

But the officers who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the High Priest, at whose house the Scribes and the Elders had assembled.

And Peter kept following Him at a distance, till he came even to the court of the High Priest's palace, where he entered and sat down among the officers to see the issue.

Meanwhile the High Priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death;

Then the High Priest stood up and asked Him, "Have you no answer to make? What is it these men are saying in evidence against you?"

Jesus however remained silent. Again the High Priest addressed Him. "In the name of the ever-living God," he said, "I now put you on your oath. Tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God."

Then the High Priest tore his robes and exclaimed, "Impious language! What further need have we of witnesses! See, you have now heard the impiety.

When morning came all the High Priests and the Elders of the people consulted together against Jesus to put Him to death;

Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He was condemned, smitten with remorse he brought back the thirty shekels to the High Priests and Elders

When the High Priests had gathered up the money they said, "It is illegal to put it into the Treasury, because it is the price of blood."

When however the High Priests and the Elders kept bringing their charges against Him, He said not a word in reply.

The High Priests, however, and the Elders urged the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to demand the death of Jesus.

In like manner the High Priests also, together with the Scribes and the Elders, taunted Him.

On the next day, the day after the Preparation, the High Priests and the Pharisees came in a body to Pilate.

While they went on this errand, some of the guards came into the city and reported to the High Priests every detail of what had happened.
