Matthew 26:1-5 - The Chief Priests And Elders Plot To Kill Jesus
1 When Jesus finished saying all this he said to his disciples, 2 "You know the passover is to be held two days after this; and the Son of man will be delivered up to be crucified."
3 Then the high priests and the elders of the people met in the palace of the high priest who was called Caiaphas 4 and took counsel together to get hold of Jesus by craft and have him put to death. 5 "Only," they said, "it must not be during the festival, in case of a riot among the people."
