Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be sincere. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said, so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor.

So they watched him and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.

Watching for their opportunity, the leaders sent spies pretending to be honest men. They tried to get Jesus to say something that could be reported to the Roman governor so he would arrest Jesus.

They watched closely and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, so that they could catch him in what he said, to hand him over to the governor’s rule and authority.

And so they watched Him closely, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, in order that they might catch Him in some statement, so that they could hand Him over to the jurisdiction and authority of the governor.

So they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might seize on His words, in order to deliver Him to the power and the authority of the governor.

And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.

They watched closely and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, so they could catch Him in what He said, to hand Him over to the governor’s rule and authority.

And they watched[ him], and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.

Then they watched him carefully and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They wanted to take advantage of what he might say so that they could deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.

They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.

So they tied him up and led him away. Then they handed him over to Pilate, who was the governor.

The Pharisees went out. They made plans to trap Jesus with his own words.They sent their followers to him. They sent the Herodians with them.“ Teacher,” they said,“ we know that you are a man of honor. You teach the way of God truthfully. You don’t let others tell you what to do or say. You don’t care how important they are.Tell us then, what do you think? Is it right to pay the royal tax to Caesar or not?”But Jesus knew their evil plans. He said,“ You pretenders! Why are you trying to trap me?Show me the coin people use for paying the tax.” They brought him a silver coin.He asked them,“ Whose picture is this? And whose words?”“ Caesar’s,” they replied. Then he said to them,“ So give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. And give back to God what belongs to God.”When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.

They were not able to trap him with what he had said there in front of all the people. Amazed by his answer, they became silent.

Those who hate me would bow down to me in fear. They would be punished forever.

Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning. The Jewish leaders did not want to be made“ unclean.” They wanted to be able to eat the Passover meal. So they did not enter the palace.Pilate came out to them. He asked,“ What charges are you bringing against this man?”“ He has committed crimes,” they replied.“ If he hadn’t, we would not have handed him over to you.”Pilate said,“ Take him yourselves. Judge him by your own law.”“ But we don’t have the right to put anyone to death,” they complained.This happened so that what Jesus said about how he was going to die would come true.

These teachers are never satisfied. They want to get something out of you. So they make up stories to take advantage of you. They have been under a sentence of death for a long time. The God who will destroy them has not been sleeping.

They set traps for him. They wanted to catch him in something he might say.

Later the religious leaders sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus. They wanted to trap him with his own words.They came to him and said,“ Teacher, we know that you are a man of honor. You don’t let other people tell you what to do or say. You don’t care how important they are. But you teach the way of God truthfully. Is it right to pay the royal tax to Caesar or not?Should we pay or shouldn’t we?” But Jesus knew what they were trying to do. So he asked,“ Why are you trying to trap me? Bring me a silver coin. Let me look at it.”They brought the coin. He asked them,“ Whose picture is this? And whose words?”“ Caesar’s,” they replied.Then Jesus said to them,“ Give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. And give back to God what belongs to God.” They were amazed at him.

They said,“ Come on. Let’s make plans against Jeremiah. We’ll still have priests to teach us the law. We’ll always have wise people to give us advice. We’ll have prophets to bring us messages from the Lord. So come on. Let’s speak out against Jeremiah. We shouldn’t pay any attention to what he says.”

Those who are evil hide and wait for godly people. They want to kill them.But the Lord will not leave the godly in their power. He will not let them be found guilty when they are brought into court.

I hear many people whispering,“ There is terror on every side! Bring charges against Jeremiah! Let’s bring charges against him!” All my friends are waiting for me to slip. They are saying,“ Perhaps he will be tricked into making a mistake. Then we’ll win out over him. We’ll get even with him.”

So Joab sent someone to Tekoa to have a wise woman brought back from there. Joab said to her,“ Pretend you are filled with sadness. Put on the rough clothing people wear when they’re sad. Don’t use any makeup. Act like a woman who has spent many days mourning for someone who has died.

Some Pharisees were trying to find fault with Jesus. They watched him closely. They wanted to see if he would heal the man on the Sabbath day.

Say to God,“ What wonderful things you do! Your power is so great that your enemies bow down to you in fear.

Those who don’t show any pity will vanish. Those who make fun of others will disappear. All those who look for ways to do what is evil will be cut off.Without any proof, they claim that a person is guilty. In court they try to trap the one who speaks up for others. By using dishonest witnesses they keep people who aren’t guilty from being treated fairly.

I had been like a gentle lamb led off to be killed. I didn’t realize they had made plans against me. They had said,“ Let’s destroy the tree and its fruit. Let’s take away his life. Then his name won’t be remembered anymore.”

Jeroboam said to his wife,“ Go. Put on some different clothes. Then no one will recognize you as my wife. Go to Shiloh. That’s where Ahijah the prophet is. He told me I would be king over the Israelites.Take ten loaves of bread with you. Take some cakes and a jar of honey. Go to him. He’ll tell you what will happen to our son.”So Jeroboam’s wife did what he said. She went to Ahijah’s house in Shiloh. Ahijah couldn’t see. He was blind because he was so old.But the Lord had told Ahijah,“ Jeroboam’s wife is coming. Her son is sick. She’ll ask you about him. Give her the answer I give you. When she arrives, she’ll pretend to be someone else.”Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps at the door. He said,“ Come in. I know that you are Jeroboam’s wife. Why are you pretending to be someone else? I have some bad news for you.

Those who are trying to kill me set their traps. Those who want to harm me talk about destroying me. All day long they make their plans and tell their lies.
