Afterwards Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to the crowd: “As if we were thieves, have you come to take me with swords and whips? Was I not with you every day in the temple teaching to you without you hindering me?”
Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, to which the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah] always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
After two days was [the feast of] the Passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the Torah-teachers (Scribes) sought how they might take him by craft, and put [him] to death.
And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
He went into the temple to teach and there came unto him the Torah-teachers (Scribes), the priests and the rulers of the people saying: ‘By what power do you do this and who gave you this strength?’
And the chief priests and the Torah-teachers (Scribes) the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
