The Chief Priests and Elders Plot to Kill Jesus

26 And it happened that when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples, ² “You know that after two days the Passover takes place, and the Son of Man will be handed over^[a] in order to be crucified.”

³ Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas, ⁴ and plotted in order that they could arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.^{[b] 5} But they were saying, “Not during the feast, so that there will not be an uproar among the people.”
