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.”
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.
