Luke 22:1-2
1Now the feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called Passover, was drawing near. 2And the high priests and the scribes were seeking how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.
1And it happened, when Jesus had finished all these words, that he said to his disciples, 2“You know that after two days the Passover comes, and the Son of Man is handed over to be crucified.” 3Then the high priests and the elders of the people gathered in the courtyard of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4and they plotted together to seize Jesus by deceit and kill him. 5But they were saying, “Not during the feast, so that there may not be an uproar among the people.”
1Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread was after two days. And the high priests and the scribes were seeking how they might seize him by deceit and kill him; 2for they were saying, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar of the people.”
