Matthew 26:1-5

¹When Jesus had finished all these words, He said to His disciples, ²“You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be handed over for crucifixion.”

³Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, named Caiaphas; ⁴and they plotted together to seize Jesus by stealth and kill Him. ⁵But they were saying, “Not during the festival, otherwise a riot might occur among the people.”
