|Mateus 26:2| ^w “You know two days from now will be Passover. This is when the Son of Man will be handed over to his enemies and nailed to a cross.”

|Mateus 26:3| At that time the chief priests and the nation's leaders were meeting at the home of Caiaphas the high priest.

|Mateus 26:4| They planned how they could sneak around and have Jesus arrested and put to death.

|Mateus 26:5| But they said, “We must not do it during Passover, because the people will riot.”
