'Plot' in the Bible

But Jesus, aware of their malice, asked, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?

but their plot became known to Saul. They were also watching the city’s gates day and night so they could kill him;

And he stayed three months, and when a plot was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia (northern Greece).

Now when day came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves under an oath (curse), saying that they would not eat or drink until they had killed Paul.
