Matius 26:3-5

26:3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people met together in the palace of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas. 26:4 They ¹  planned to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him. 26:5 But they said, “Not during the feast, so that there won’t be a riot among the people.” ² 

[26:4]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[26:5]  ² sn The suggestion here is that Jesus was too popular to openly arrest him.
