Jesus told his disciples of his coming arrest. The Jewish leaders planned how to seize Jesus.

Matthew 26:1-5

26 When Jesus had finished saying all those things, he said to us disciples, 2 “You know that two days from now we will celebrate the Passover festival. At that time I, the one who came from heaven, will be handed over to {they will put me, the one who came from heaven, into the hands of} those who will nail me to a cross.”

3 At the same time the chief priests and the Jewish elders gathered in the home of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas. 4 There they plotted how they could seize Jesus in some deceitful way so that they could have him executed. 5 But they said, “We must not do it during the Passover festival, because if we do it then, the people might riot.”
