as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of high priestly descent.

And the word of God was growing, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was being multiplied exceedingly, and a great many of the priests were obeying the faith.

And they aroused the people and the elders and the scribes; and coming upon him, they seized him, and led him to the council.

Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were assembled into the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

and plotted to take Jesus by guile and kill Him.

When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus, so as to put Him to death.

And having bound Him, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabbas, but they should destroy Jesus.

Likewise the chief priests also, mocking [Him] with the scribes and elders, and Pharisees, said,

Remember the word which I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

Then Judas, having taken the detachment [of soldiers], and attendants from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

Now when they heard these words, both the high priest and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests, they were greatly perplexed about them, as to what would come of this.

Then the captain went with the officers and brought them without violence, for they were afraid of the people, lest they be stoned.

Now this [is] the thing which you shall do. Let a third part of you, [even] of the priests and of the Levites, enter in on the Sabbath, even into the gates of the entrances;

And let no one enter into the house of the Lord except the priests and the Levites, and the servants of the Levites; they shall enter in, because they are holy; and let all the people keep the watch of the Lord.

And the Levites and all Judah did according to all that the priest Jehoiada commanded them, and they took each his men from the beginning of the Sabbath to the end of the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest did not dismiss the courses.

And he went off and spoke with the chief priests and captains [about] how he might betray Him to them.

But when Paul perceived that one part was of the Sadducees and the other of the Pharisees, he cried out in the Sanhedrin, "Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of a Pharisee; concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!"

For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection-nor angel nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess both.

Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

And they sent their disciples to Him with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You show favoritism to anyone.

The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him, and they questioned Him,
