The Evil Council
1 When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples, 2 "As you know, the Passover is two days away--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 palace of the high priest, whose name was
Caiaphas, 4 and they plotted to arrest
Jesus in some sly way and kill him. 5
"But not during the Feast," they said, "or there may be a riot among the
people."
Matthew 26:1-5
