Mark 14:1-2 - The Chief Priests And Scribes Plot To Kill Jesus

¹ Now it was two days before the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The high priests and the scribes were looking for a way to arrest Jesus secretly and to have him put to death, ² because they kept saying, "This must not happen during the festival. Otherwise, there'll be a riot among the people."

¹ Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was near. ² So the high priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put him to death, because they were afraid of the crowd.
