The Plot to Kill Jesus

14 ^(A)Now ^(B)the Passover and Unleavened Bread were two days away; and the chief priests and the scribes ^(C)were seeking how, after seizing Him in secret, they might kill Him; ² for they were saying, “Not during the festival, lest there be a riot of the people.”

^10 (A)Then Judas Iscariot, ^(B)who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests in order to ^[a]betray Him to them. ¹¹ And when they heard this, they were glad and promised to give him money. And he began seeking how to betray Him at an opportune time.
