Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, What shall we do? For this Man performs many signs.

If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe into Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation.

For this reason also the crowd met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign.

And all the people saw him walking and praising God.

And they knew that it was he who sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

And as I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west, over the face of the whole earth and did not touch the ground. And the he goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.

Then the male goat became very great. And when he became strong, the great horn was broken. And in its place came up four conspicuous ones toward the four winds of the heavens.

And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.

And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.

And when He had looked around at them all, He said to the man, Stretch out your hand. And he did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.

But they were filled with madness, and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist.
