Jesus Tells of His Death the Fourth Time (A)
26 When Jesus had finished all this teaching, He said to His followers, 2 “You know that the special religious supper to remember how the Jews left Egypt is in two days. The Son of Man will be handed over to be nailed to a cross.”
3 The religious leaders and the leaders of the people gathered at the house of the head religious leader. His name was Caiaphas. 4 They talked together how they might trap Jesus and kill Him. 5 But they said, “This must not happen on the day of the special supper. The people would be against it. They would make much trouble.”
