RSV ~ Matthew 26 v1 - 5

Mt 26:1-5 | The Conspiracy to Kill Jesus

1 When Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,

2 “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of man will be delivered up to be crucified.”

3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the palace of the high priest, who was called Cai’aphas,

4 and took counsel together in order to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.

5 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be a tumult among the people.”
