Matthew 26:1-5 - The Chief Priests And Elders Plot To Kill Jesus
1 When Jesus had finished all this teaching, he said to his disciples: 2 "You know that in two days time the Festival of the Passover will be here; and that the Son of Man is to be given up to be crucified."
3 Then the Chief Priests and the Councillors of the Nation met in the house of the High Priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4 And plotted together to arrest Jesus by stealth and put him to death; 5 But they said: "Not during the Festival, for fear of causing a riot."
