-
He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread—which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests.

-
“We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death
-
But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant.

The Authority of Jesus Questioned
Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him. “By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you this authority?”

Jesus Arrested
While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people.
-
With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

Jesus Before the Sanhedrin
Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled.
-
But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.
-
The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death.
-
Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?”
-
But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”

Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.

Judas Hangs Himself
Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people made their plans how to have Jesus executed.

The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”

When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer.
-
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.
-
In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him.
