'Priests' in the Bible

So he assembled all the High Priests and Scribes of the people, and anxiously asked them where the Christ was to be born.

how he entered the House of God and ate the Presented Loaves, which it was not lawful for him or his men to eat, nor for any except the priests?

And have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the Temple break the Sabbath without incurring guilt?

From this time Jesus began to explain to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer much cruelty from the Elders and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised to life again.

"We are going up to Jerusalem, and there the Son of Man will be betrayed to the High Priests and Scribes. They will condemn Him to death,

But when the High Priests and the Scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done and the children who were crying aloud in the Temple, "God save the Son of David," they were filled with indignation.

He entered the Temple; and while He was teaching, the High Priests and the Elders of the people came to Him and asked Him, "By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you this authority?"

After listening to His parables the High Priests and the Pharisees perceived that He was speaking about them;

Then the High Priests and Elders of the People assembled in the court of the palace of the High Priest Caiaphas,

At that time one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the High Priests

He had scarcely finished speaking when Judas came--one of the Twelve--accompanied by a great crowd of men armed with swords and bludgeons, sent by the High Priests and Elders of the People.

Meanwhile the High Priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death;

When morning came all the High Priests and the Elders of the people consulted together against Jesus to put Him to death;

Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He was condemned, smitten with remorse he brought back the thirty shekels to the High Priests and Elders

When the High Priests had gathered up the money they said, "It is illegal to put it into the Treasury, because it is the price of blood."

When however the High Priests and the Elders kept bringing their charges against Him, He said not a word in reply.

The High Priests, however, and the Elders urged the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to demand the death of Jesus.

In like manner the High Priests also, together with the Scribes and the Elders, taunted Him.

On the next day, the day after the Preparation, the High Priests and the Pharisees came in a body to Pilate.

While they went on this errand, some of the guards came into the city and reported to the High Priests every detail of what had happened.

how he entered the house of God in the High-priesthood of Abiathar, and ate the Presented Loaves--which none but the priests are allowed to eat--and gave some to his men also?"

And now for the first time He told them, "The Son of Man must endure much suffering, and be rejected by the Elders and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death, and after two days rise to life."

"See," He said, "we are going up to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man will be betrayed to the High Priests and the Scribes. They will condemn Him to death, and will hand Him over to the Gentiles;

This the High Priests and Scribes heard, and they began to devise means to destroy Him. For they were afraid of Him, because of the deep impression produced on all the people by His teaching.

They came again to Jerusalem; and as He was walking in the Temple, the High Priests, Scribes and Elders came to Him

It was now two days before the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread, and the High Priests and Scribes were bent on finding how to seize Him by stratagem and put Him to death.

But Judas Iscariot, already mentioned as one of the Twelve, went to the High Priests to betray Jesus to them.

Immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came and with him a crowd of men armed with swords and cudgels, sent by the High Priests and Scribes and Elders.

So they led Jesus away to the High Priest, and with him there assembled all the High Priests, Elders, and Scribes.

Meanwhile the High Priests and the entire Sanhedrin were endeavouring to get evidence against Jesus in order to put Him to death, but could find none;

At earliest dawn, after the High Priests had held a consultation with the Elders and Scribes, they and the entire Sanhedrin bound Jesus and took Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.

Then, as the High Priests went on heaping accusations on Him,

For he could see that it was out of sheer spite that the High Priests had handed Him over.

But the High Priests urged on the crowd to obtain Barabbas's release in preference;

In the same way the High Priests also, as well as the Scribes, kept on scoffing at Him, saying to one another, "He has saved others: himself he cannot save!

how he entered the house of God and took and ate the Presented Loaves and gave some to his followers--loaves which none but the Priests are allowed to eat?"

and He said, "The Son of Man must suffer much cruelty, be rejected by the Elders and High Priests and Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised to life again."

Perceiving this, He said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the Priests." And while on their way to do this they were made clean.

And day after day He taught in the Temple, while the High Priests and the Scribes were devising some means of destroying Him, as were also the leading men of the people.

On one of those days while He was teaching the people in the Temple and proclaiming the Good News, the High Priests came upon Him, and the Scribes,

At this the Scribes and the High Priests wanted to lay hands on Him, then and there; only they were afraid of the people. For they saw that in this parable He had referred to them.

and the High Priests and the Scribes were contriving how to destroy Him. But they feared the people.

He went and conferred with the High Priests and Commanders as to how he should deliver Him up to them.

Then Jesus said to the High Priests and Commanders of the Temple and Elders, who had come to arrest Him, "Have you come out as if to fight with a robber, with swords and cudgels?

As soon as it was day, the whole body of the Elders, both High Priests and Scribes, assembled. Then He was brought into their Sanhedrin, and they asked Him,

Pilate said to the High Priests and to the crowd, "I can find no crime in this man."

Meanwhile the High Priests and the Scribes were standing there and vehemently accusing Him.

Then calling together the High Priests and the Rulers and the people, Pilate said,

and how our High Priests and Rulers delivered Him up to be sentenced to death, and crucified Him.

This also is John's testimony, when the Jews sent to him a deputation of Priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him who he was.

The Pharisees heard the people thus expressing their various doubts about Him, and the High Priests and the Pharisees sent some officers to apprehend Him.

Meanwhile the officers returned to the High Priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why have you not brought him?"

Therefore the High Priests and the Pharisees held a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "What steps are we taking?" they asked one another; "for this man is performing a great number of miracles.

Now the High Priests and the Pharisees had issued orders that if any one knew where He was, he should give information, so that they might arrest Him.

The High Priests, however, consulted together to put Lazarus also to death,

So Judas, followed by the battalion and by a detachment of the Temple police sent by the High Priests and Pharisees, came there with torches and lamps and weapons.

"Am I a Jew?" exclaimed Pilate; "it is your own nation and the High Priests who have handed you over to me. What have you done?"

As soon then as the High Priests and the officers saw Him, they shouted "To the cross! To the cross!" "Take him yourselves and crucify him," said Pilate; "for I, at any rate, find no crime in him."

This caused a storm of outcries, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" "Am I to crucify your king?" Pilate asked. "We have no king, except Caesar," answered the High Priests.

This led the Jewish High Priests to remonstrate with Pilate. "You should not write 'The King of the Jews,'" they said, "but that he claimed to be King of the Jews."

While they were saying this to the people, the Priests, the Commander of the Temple Guard, and the Sadducees came upon them,

After their release the two Apostles went to their friends, and told them all that the High Priests and Elders had said.

When the Commander of the Temple Guards and the High Priests heard this statement, they were utterly at a loss with regard to it, wondering what would happen next.

Meanwhile God's Message continued to spread, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem very greatly increased, and very many priests obeyed the faith.

and here he is authorized by the High Priests to arrest all who call upon Thy name."

and his hearers were all amazed, and began to ask one another, "Is not this the man who in Jerusalem tried to exterminate those who called upon that Name, and came here on purpose to carry them off in chains to the High Priests?"

The next day, wishing to know exactly what charge was being brought against him by the Jews, the Tribune ordered his chains to be removed; and, having sent word to the High Priests and all the Sanhedrin to assemble, he brought Paul down and made him stand before them.

They went to the High Priests and Elders and said to them, "We have bound ourselves under a heavy curse to take no food till we have killed Paul.

The High Priests and the leading men among the Jews immediately made representations to him against Paul, and begged him--

about whom, when I went to Jerusalem, the High Priests and the Elders of the Jews made representations to me, begging that sentence might be pronounced against him.

And that was how I acted in Jerusalem. Armed with authority received from the High Priests I shut up many of God's people in various prisons, and when they were about to be put to death I gave my vote against them.

"While thus engaged, I was travelling one day to Damascus armed with authority and a commission from the High Priests,

For it is undeniable that our Lord sprang from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing in connection with priests.

And they have been appointed priests many in number, because death prevents their continuance in office:

who, unlike other High Priests, is not under the necessity of offering up sacrifices day after day, first for His own sins, and afterwards for those of the people; for this latter thing He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

For the Law constitutes men High Priests--men with all their infirmity--but the utterance of the oath, which came later than the Law, constitutes High Priest a Son who has been made for ever perfect.

These arrangements having long been completed, the priests, when conducting the divine services, continually enter the outer tent.

For, since the Law exhibits only an outline of the blessings to come and not a perfect representation of the things themselves, the priests can never, by repeating the same sacrifices which they continually offer year after year, give complete freedom from sin to those who draw near.

and has formed us into a Kingdom, to be priests to God, His Father--to Him be ascribed the glory and the power until the Ages of the Ages. Amen.

And hast formed them into a Kingdom to be priests to our God, And they reign over the earth."

Blessed and holy are those who share in the First Resurrection. The Second Death has no power over them, but they shall be priests to God and to Christ, and shall be kings with Christ for the thousand years.
