Mark 14:1-2

Easy-to-Read Version

The Jewish Leaders Plan to Kill Jesus^(A)

14 It was now only two days before the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The leading priests and teachers of the law were trying to find a way to arrest Jesus without the people seeing it. Then they could kill him. ² They said, “But we cannot arrest Jesus during the festival. We don’t want the people to be angry and cause a riot.”
