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

1 When Jesus had finished all these words, He said to His disciples, 2 You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be handed over for crucifixion.”

3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, named Caiaphas; 4 and they plotted together to seize Jesus by stealth and kill Him. 5 But they were saying, “Not during the festival, otherwise a riot might occur among the people.”
