Markos 14:1-2

Orthodox Jewish Bible

14 Now it was two days before Pesach, the Chag HaMatzot. And the Rashei Hakohanim and the Sofrim were seeking how they might by ormah (cunning) do away with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

² For they were saying, Not at the Chag, for fear that a riot break out among the am haaretz.
