The Plot to Kill Jesus

26 When Jesus had finished saying [fn]all these things, he said to his disciples, 2 “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”

3 Then the chief [fn]priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, 4 and they plotted together to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him. 5 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be a riot among the people.”
