And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
Read Chapter 14
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Though the law prescribed there should be only one high priest, yet at this time there were many, being appointed yearly by the Roman governor; and those are here called chief priests who had once been invested with the dignity of high priest, but were at that time out of office. (Theophylactus)
