Matthew 26:1-5 - The Chief Priests And Elders Plot To Kill Jesus

1 When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he told his disciples, 2 "You know that the Passover will take place in two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified."

3 Then the high priests and the elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas. 4 They conspired to arrest Jesus by treachery and to kill him. 5 But they kept saying, "This must not happen during the festival. Otherwise, there'll be a riot among the people."
