The Plot to Kill Jesus

26 When Jesus had finished saying all this,(A) He told His disciples, “You know[a] that the Passover takes place after two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”(B)

Then the chief priests[b] and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,(C) and they conspired to arrest Jesus in a treacherous way and kill Him.(D) “Not during the festival,” they said, “so there won’t be rioting among the people.”
