So the chief priests and the most prominent men of the Jews brought formal charges against Paul to him.

Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partners in a heavenly calling, take note of Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess,

Therefore since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.

where Jesus our forerunner entered on our behalf, since he became a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.

And he did not enter to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the sanctuary year after year with blood that is not his own,

“Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the experts in the law. They will condemn him to death,

Now the ones who had arrested Jesus led him to Caiaphas, the high priest, in whose house the experts in the law and the elders had gathered.

But Peter was following him from a distance, all the way to the high priest’s courtyard. After going in, he sat with the guards to see the outcome.

Then the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? Now you have heard the blasphemy!

When it was early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people plotted against Jesus to execute him.

Now when Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus had been condemned, he regretted what he had done and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders,

The chief priests took the silver and said, “It is not lawful to put this into the temple treasury, since it is blood money.”

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed.

While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests everything that had happened.

They came again to Jerusalem. While Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the experts in the law, and the elders came up to him

Two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the chief priests and the experts in the law were trying to find a way to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.

One of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the high priest’s slave, cutting off his ear.

The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find anything.

Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is this that they are testifying against you?”

Early in the morning, after forming a plan, the chief priests with the elders and the experts in the law and the whole Sanhedrin tied Jesus up, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate.
