The Plot to Kill Jesus

(The Conspiracy against Jesus)

MATTHEW 26:1-5

When Jesus had finished all he wanted to say, he told his disciples, “You know that in two days’ time it will be the Passover and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.” Then the chief priests and the Jewish authorities gathered together at the palace of the High Priest whose name was Caiaphas, and they plotted to arrest Jesus and kill him. But they said among themselves, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uprising among the people.”
