'High Priest' in the Bible

He called together all the high priests and scribes of the people and asked them where the Messiah was to be born.

From that time on, Jesus began to show his disciples that he would have to go to Jerusalem and suffer a great deal because of the elders, the high priests, and the scribes. Then he would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised.

"See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the high priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death.

But when the high priests and the scribes saw the amazing things that he had done and the children shouting in the Temple, "Hosanna to the Son of David," they became furious

Then Jesus went into the Temple. While he was teaching, the high priests and the elders of the people came to him and asked, "By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?"

When the high priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was talking about them.

Then the high priests and the elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.

Then one of the Twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the high priests

Just then, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. A large crowd armed with swords and clubs was with him. They were from the high priests and elders of the people.

Suddenly, one of the men with Jesus reached out his hand, drew his sword, and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his ear.

Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had assembled.

Peter, however, followed him at a distance as far as the high priest's courtyard. He went inside and sat down with the servants to see how this would end.

Meanwhile, the high priests and the whole Council were looking for false testimony against Jesus in order to have him put to death.

At this, the high priest stood up and asked Jesus, "Don't you have any answer to what these men are testifying against you?"

But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest told him, "I command you by the living God to tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God!"

Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? Listen! You yourselves have just heard the blasphemy!

When morning came, all the high priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put him to death.

Then Judas, who had betrayed him, regretted what had happened when he saw that Jesus was condemned. He brought the 30 pieces of silver back to the high priests and elders,

The high priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, "It is not lawful to put this into the Temple treasury, because it is blood money."

While Jesus was being accused by the high priests and elders, he made no reply.

But the high priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to demand that Jesus be put to death.

In the same way the high priests, along with the scribes and elders, were also making fun of him. They kept saying,

The following day (that is, after the Day of Preparation), the high priests and Pharisees gathered before Pilate

While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and told the high priests everything that had happened.
