The Plot to Kill Jesus

26 When Jesus had finished saying all this, e He told His disciples, 2 “You know f that the * Passover takes place after two days, and the * Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.” g

3 Then the * chief priests h and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, i 4 and they conspired to arrest Jesus in a treacherous way and kill Him. j 5 “Not during the festival,” they said, “so there won’t be rioting among the people.”
