The Conspiracy to Kill Jesus

Matthew 26

Matthew 26:1 And it happened that, when Jesus had completed all these words, he said to his disciples,

Matthew 26:2 “You know that after two days the Passover will begin, and the Son of man will be handed over to be crucified.”

Matthew 26:3 Then the leaders of the priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.

Matthew 26:4 And they took counsel so that by deceitfulness they might take hold of Jesus and kill him.

Matthew 26:5 But they said, “Not on the feast day, lest perhaps there may be a tumult among the people.”
