Matthew 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 

Matthew 26:57

Condemned by the Sanhedrin

26:57 Now the ones who had arrested Jesus led him to Caiaphas, the high priest, in whose house ³  the experts in the law ⁴  and the elders had gathered.

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

[26:5]  ¹ sn The suggestion here is that Jesus was too popular to openly arrest him.

[26:57]  ¹ tn Grk “where.”

[26:57]  ² tn Or “where the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.
