One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the good news, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, together with the elders, came up to him.

One day, as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up

One day as Jesus was teaching the people and preaching the Good News in the Temple, the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders came up to him.

One day as he was teaching the people in the temple and proclaiming the good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came

On one of the days while He was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders confronted Him,

Now it happened on one of those days, as He taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel, that the chief priests and the scribes, together with the elders, confronted Him

And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders;

One day as He was teaching the people in the temple complex and proclaiming the good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came up

And it came to pass,[ that] on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon[ him] with the elders,

Now one day, as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and the experts in the law with the elders came up

On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.

Every day Jesus was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests and the teachers of the law were trying to kill him. So were the leaders among the people.But they couldn’t find any way to do it. All the people were paying close attention to his words.

After this, Jesus traveled around from one town and village to another. He announced the good news of God’s kingdom. His 12 disciples were with him.

“ I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus replied.“ I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I didn’t say anything in secret.

Jesus entered the temple courtyard. While he was teaching there, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him.“ By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked.“ Who gave you this authority?”Jesus replied,“ I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.Where did John’s baptism come from? Was it from heaven? Or did it come from human authority?” They talked to one another about it. They said,“ If we say,‘ From heaven,’ he will ask,‘ Then why didn’t you believe him?’But what if we say,‘ From human authority’? We are afraid of the people. Everyone believes that John was a prophet.”So they answered Jesus,“ We don’t know.” Jesus said,“ Then I won’t tell you by what authority I am doing these things either.

The priests in the family line of Aaron were separated into groups. The groups were separated according to the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did. They didn’t have any sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as the priests.With the help of Zadok and Ahimelek, David separated the priests into groups. Each group served in its appointed order and time. Zadok belonged to the family line of Eleazar. Ahimelek belonged to the family line of Ithamar.More leaders were found among Eleazar’s family line than among Ithamar’s. So the priests were separated into their groups based on that fact. There were 16 family leaders from Eleazar’s line. There were eight family leaders from Ithamar’s line.The priests were separated into their groups by casting lots. That was the fair way to do it. The priests were officials of the temple and officials of God. They came from the family lines of Eleazar and Ithamar.Shemaiah was a Levite. He was the son of Nethanel. Shemaiah was the writer who recorded the names of the priests. He wrote them down in front of the king and the officials. The officials included Zadok the priest and Ahimelek. Ahimelek was the son of Abiathar. The officials also included the leaders of the families of the priests and the Levites. One family was chosen by lot from Eleazar’s group. Then one was chosen from Ithamar’s group.The 1st lot chosen was for Jehoiarib. The 2nd was for Jedaiah.The 3rd was for Harim. The 4th was for Seorim.The 5th was for Malkijah. The 6th was for Mijamin.The 7th was for Hakkoz. The 8th was for Abijah.The 9th was for Jeshua. The 10th was for Shekaniah.The 11th was for Eliashib. The 12th was for Jakim.The 13th was for Huppah. The 14th was for Jeshebeab.The 15th was for Bilgah. The 16th was for Immer.The 17th was for Hezir. The 18th was for Happizzez.The 19th was for Pethahiah. The 20th was for Jehezkel.The 21st was for Jakin. The 22nd was for Gamul.The 23rd was for Delaiah. The 24th was for Maaziah.That was their appointed order for serving when they entered the Lord’ s temple. That order was based on the rules Aaron had given them long ago. Everything was done exactly as the Lord had commanded Aaron. The Lord is the God of Israel.Here are the other members of the family line of Levi. From the sons of Amram came Shubael. From the sons of Shubael came Jehdeiah.From the sons of Rehabiah came Ishiah. Ishiah was the oldest.From the people of Izhar came Shelomoth. From the sons of Shelomoth came Jahath.Jeriah was the first son of Hebron. Amariah was his second son. Jahaziel was the third. Jekameam was the fourth.The son of Uzziel was Micah. From the sons of Micah came Shamir.The brother of Micah was Ishiah. From the sons of Ishiah came Zechariah.The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. The son of Jaaziah was Beno.The sons of Merari from Jaaziah were Beno, Shoham, Zakkur and Ibri.From Mahli came Eleazar. Eleazar didn’t have any sons.From Kish came Jerahmeel. Jerahmeel was the son of Kish.The sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder and Jerimoth. Those were the Levites, family by family.They cast lots just as their relatives had done. Their relatives were in the family line of Aaron. They cast lots in front of King David, Zadok and Ahimelek. They did it in front of the family leaders of the priests. They also did it in front of the family leaders of the Levites. The families of the oldest brother were treated in the same way as the families of the youngest.

So the people were stirred up. The elders and the teachers of the law were stirred up too. They arrested Stephen and brought him to the Sanhedrin.

Peter and John were speaking to the people. The priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees came up to the apostles.

At that time Jesus spoke to the crowd.“ Am I leading a band of armed men against you?” he asked.“ Do you have to come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courtyard teaching. And you didn’t arrest me.

Jesus and his disciples arrived again in Jerusalem. He was walking in the temple courtyard. Then the chief priests came to him. The teachers of the law and the elders came too.“ By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked.“ Who gave you authority to do this?”Jesus replied,“ I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.Was John’s baptism from heaven? Or did it come from human authority? Tell me!”They talked to each other about it. They said,“ If we say,‘ From heaven,’ he will ask,‘ Then why didn’t you believe him?’But what if we say,‘ From human authority’?” They were afraid of the people. Everyone believed that John really was a prophet.So they answered Jesus,“ We don’t know.” Jesus said,“ Then I won’t tell you by what authority I am doing these things either.”
