Matthew 26:1-6

1 When Jesus finished saying all these things, he told his disciples,

2 "You know that the Passover will take place in two days. At that time the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified."

3 Then the chief priests and the leaders of the people gathered in the palace of the chief priest Caiaphas.

4 They made plans to arrest Jesus in an underhanded way and to kill him.

5 But they said, "We shouldn't arrest him during the festival, or else there may be a riot among the people."

6 Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon, a man who had suffered from a skin disease.
