Matthew 26:1-5

The Chief Priests and Elders Plot to Kill Jesus

1 And it happened that when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,

2 "You know that after two days the Passover takes place, and the Son of Man will be handed over in order to be crucified."

3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas,

4 and plotted in order that they could arrest Jesus by stealth and kill [him].

5 But they were saying, "Not during the feast, so that there will not be an uproar among the people."
