MAT 26:2  "As you know, the Passover is two days away--and the Son of Man 
will be handed over to be crucified."

MAT 26:3  Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in 
the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

MAT 26:57  Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the high 
priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled.

MAT 26:63  But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, "I 
charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ, the 
Son of God."

MAT 26:64  "Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied. "But I say to all of 
you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of 
the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."

MAT 26:65  Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "He has spoken 
blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the 
blasphemy.

LUK 3:2  during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God 
came to John son of Zechariah in the desert.

JOH 11:49  Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, 
spoke up, "You know nothing at all!

JOH 11:50  You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die 
for the people than that the whole nation perish."

JOH 11:51  He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he 
prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation,

JOH 18:13  and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of 
Caiaphas, the high priest that year.

JOH 18:14  Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be 
good if one man died for the people.

JOH 18:24  Then Annas sent him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.

JOH 18:28  Then the Jews led Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman 
governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness 
the Jews did not enter the palace; they wanted to be able to eat the 
Passover.

ACT 4:1  The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees 
came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people.

ACT 4:2  They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the 
people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.

ACT 4:3  They seized Peter and John, and because it was evening, they put 
them in jail until the next day.

ACT 4:4  But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men 
grew to about five thousand.

ACT 4:5  The next day the rulers, elders and teachers of the law met in 
Jerusalem.

ACT 4:6  Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas, John, 
Alexander and the other men of the high priest's family.

ACT 4:7  They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question 
them: "By what power or what name did you do this?"

ACT 4:8  Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: "Rulers and 
elders of the people!

ACT 4:9  If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness 
shown to a cripple and are asked how he was healed,

ACT 4:10  then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the 
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised 
from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

ACT 4:11  He is "'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the 
capstone.'

ACT 4:12  Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name 
under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."

ACT 4:13  When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that 
they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note 
that these men had been with Jesus.

ACT 4:14  But since they could see the man who had been healed standing 
there with them, there was nothing they could say.

ACT 4:15  So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin and then 
conferred together.

ACT 4:16  "What are we going to do with these men?" they asked. "Everybody 
living in Jerusalem knows they have done an outstanding miracle, and we 
cannot deny it.

ACT 4:17  But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the 
people, we must warn these men to speak no longer to anyone in this name."

ACT 4:18  Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or 
teach at all in the name of Jesus.

ACT 4:19  But Peter and John replied, "Judge for yourselves whether it is 
right in God's sight to obey you rather than God.

ACT 4:20  For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."

ACT 4:21  After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how 
to punish them, because all the people were praising God for what had 
happened.

ACT 4:22  For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.
