Then said he unto them: Therefore every scribe which is conning unto the kingdom of heaven, is like an householder, which bringeth forth, out of his treasure, things both new and old.
¶ When the chief priests and scribes saw the marvels that he did, and the children crying in the temple and saying, Hosianna to the son of David, they disdained,
¶ And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the seniors of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said: by what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this power?
¶ While he yet spake, lo, Iudas one of the twelve came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, which were sent from the chief priests and seniors of the people.
And he began to declare unto them, how that the son of man must suffer many things, and should be reproved of the seniors and of the high priests and scribes, and should be killed, and after three days arise again.
And the high priests and the scribes, the same hour went about to lay hands on him, but they feared the people. For they perceived that he had spoken this similitude against them.
Iudas then after he had received a bond of men, and ministers of the high priests, and of the pharises came thither with lanterns, and firebrands, and weapons.
And there arose a great cry, and the scribes which were of the pharyses' part strove saying: We find none evil in this man. Though a spirit, or an angel hath appeared to him, let us not strive against God.
