Matthew 26:1-5 ▼

1 When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he told his disciples,

2 “You know that the Passover takes place after two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas,

4 and they conspired to arrest Jesus in a treacherous way and kill him.

5 “Not during the festival,” they said, “so there won’t be rioting among the people.”
