John 7:45

45 Therefore, the attendants went to the high priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them, “Why have you not brought him?” ^{▼▼7:45The word ‘Pontifices’ is the plural of ‘Pontifex,’ which means high priest. The word is used in the plural because there was one high priest, plus a former high priest who had been deposed by the Romans. But both wielded authority over the Jews, because the position of high priest was supposed to be for life.(Conte)}
