Matthew 26:1-5 ▼

1 And it came to pass, when Jesus finished all these words, He said to His disciples,

2 “You have known that after two days the Passover comes, and the Son of Man is delivered up to be crucified.”

3 Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, into the court of the chief priest who was called Caiaphas;

4 and they consulted together that they might take Jesus by guile, and kill [Him],

5 and they said, “Not in the celebration, that there may not be a tumult among the people.”
