The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Jehovah and against His anointed, saying,

He who sits in the Heavens shall laugh; Jehovah shall have them in derision.

Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put Him to death.

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

After two days it was the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take Him by deceit and put Him to death.

And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill Him, for they feared the people.

And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes,

as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

For truly against Your holy Son Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together

to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done.

And when they heard that, they entered the temple early in the morning and taught. But the high priest and those with him came and called the council together, with all the elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Behold, the world has gone after Him!

saying, What shall we do to these men? For indeed, that a notable sign has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny it.

But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us threaten them with a threat, that from now on they speak to no one in this name.

Now when the high priest, the temple commander, and the chief priests heard these things, they were perplexed as to whatever would become of this.
