Mark 14:1-2

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

14 It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes were all the while seeking to arrest [Jesus] by secrecy and deceit and put [Him] to death,

² For they kept saying, It must not be during the Feast, for fear that there might be a riot of the people.
