Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
and they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things?
And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him:
And for this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.
For this cause therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only brake the sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
