When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
