In God have we made our boast all the day long, And we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. (Selah)
God is gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praise to God, sing praises: Sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
For God is the King of all the earth: Sing ye praises with understanding.
Surely thou settest them in slippery places: Thou castest them down to destruction.
Nevertheless I am continually with thee: Thou hast holden my right hand.
But the Pharisees went out, and took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.
Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas;
and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.
And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priest and elders of the people.
And they that had taken Jesus led him away to (the house of) Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;
and they found it not, though many false witnesses came. But afterward came two,
and said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God.
Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.
Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy:
what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death.
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 bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.
Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
And he gave him no answer, not even to one word: insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
And the Pharisees went out, and straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.
And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, for all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.
But they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
He findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham.
