Matthew 12:14

Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.

The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God.”

Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”

For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.

They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach, for you aren’t partial to anyone.

They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.

Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, bound Jesus, carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

But he, passing through the middle of them, went his way.

For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.

They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

I and the Father are one.”

The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”

They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.

Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.

For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh.

Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

Whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace the same hour.”

“Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is close to me,” says Yahweh of Armies. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones.

Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.

After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was hidden, and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.

So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,

Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,

But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.

You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn’t keep it!”

who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,

He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless when he draws him in his net.

They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.

For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,

They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste. He spoke and said to his counselors, “Didn’t we cast three men bound into the middle of the fire?” They answered the king, “True, O king.”

The local governors, the deputies, and the governors, and the king’s counselors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies. The hair of their head wasn’t singed. Their pants weren’t changed, the smell of fire wasn’t even on them.

Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,

Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”

But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.

As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,

For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”

Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.

Therefore Jews took up stones again to stone him.

They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.

Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.

You heard how I told you, ‘I go away, and I come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I said ‘I am going to my Father;’ for the Father is greater than I.

They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.

For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,

There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve him.

and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”

The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, saying,

For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

For they don’t speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.

The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.

Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies don’t depart from her streets.

They conspire and lurk, watching my steps. They are eager to take my life.

Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?

Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?

The thoughts of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.

Don’t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Don’t destroy his resting place;

The ways of the scoundrel are evil. He devises wicked plans to destroy the humble with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.

Only know for certain that, if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, on this city, and on its inhabitants; for in truth Yahweh has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.”

All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the local governors, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong decree, that whoever asks a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.”

The lion tore in pieces enough for his cubs, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his caves with the kill, and his dens with prey.

When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,

The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”

They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit, and kill him.

Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,

It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him.

Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?

Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.

The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.

Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.

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

But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy

But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
