'Chief Priests' in the Bible

The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"

The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might arrest him.

But the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus also,

Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

Pilate answered, "I'm not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?"

When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, "Crucify. Crucify." Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves, and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him."

They shouted, "Away with him. Away with him. Crucify him." Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."

The chief priests of the Jewish people therefore said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'he said, I am King of the Jews.'"
