So the chief priests planned to kill Lazarus too,<n id="1" />

<p class="bodytext">The Pharisees<n id="1" /> heard the crowd<n id="2" /> murmuring these things about Jesus,<n id="3" /> so the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers<n id="4" /> to arrest him.<n id="5" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then the officers<n id="1" /> returned<n id="2" /> to the chief priests and Pharisees,<n id="3" /> who said to them, &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t you bring him back with you?&#8221;<n id="4" />

So the chief priests and the Pharisees<n id="1" /> called the council<n id="2" /> together and said, &#8220;What are we doing? For this man is performing many miraculous signs.

(Now the chief priests and the Pharisees<n id="1" /> had given orders that anyone who knew where Jesus<n id="2" /> was should report it, so that they could arrest<n id="3" /> him.)<n id="4" />p>

Pilate answered, &#8220;I am not a Jew, am I?<n id="1" /> Your own people<n id="2" /> and your chief priests handed you over<n id="3" /> to me. What have you done?&#8221;p>

When the chief priests and their officers saw him, they shouted out, &#8220;Crucify<n id="1" /> him! Crucify him!&#8221;<n id="2" /> Pilate said,<n id="3" /> &#8220;You take him and crucify him!<n id="4" /> Certainly<n id="5" /> I find no reason for an accusation<n id="6" /> against him!&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Then they<n id="1" /> shouted out, &#8220;Away with him! Away with him!<n id="2" /> Crucify<n id="3" /> him!&#8221; Pilate asked,<n id="4" /> &#8220;Shall I crucify your king?&#8221; The high priests replied, &#8220;We have no king except Caesar!&#8221;

Then the chief priests of the Jews<n id="1" /> said to Pilate, &#8220;Do not write, &#8216;The king of the Jews,&#8217; but rather, &#8216;This man said, I am king of the Jews.&#8217;&#8221;
