'Started' in the Bible

Immediately the Pharisees went out and started plotting with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.

They started laughing at Him, but He put them all outside. He took the child’s father, mother, and those who were with Him, and entered the place where the child was.

Then the chief priests and the scribes heard it and started looking for a way to destroy Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished by His teaching.

And when they heard this, they were glad and promised to give him silver. So he started looking for a good opportunity to betray Him.

Then he started to curse and to swear with an oath, “I don’t know this man you’re talking about!”

So they went out and started running from the tomb, because trembling and astonishment overwhelmed them. And they said nothing to anyone, since they were afraid.
