Matthew 26:1-5

New King James Version

The Plot to Kill Jesus^(A)

26 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, that He said to His disciples, ^2 (B)“You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”

^3 (C)Then the chief priests, ^[a]the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, ⁴ and ^(D)plotted to take Jesus by ^[b]trickery and kill Him. ⁵ But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the ^(E)people.”
