Context of Matthew 26:4
2‘You know that after two days it will be the time of the Passover festival. Then those people who are against me will put me into the power of the rulers. They will fix me, the Son of Man, to a cross to kill me.’ 3Then the leaders of the priests and the important Jews met together in the house of the most important priest. His name was Caiaphas. They wanted to kill Jesus. But they wanted to take hold of him secretly. So they tried to decide how they could do that. 5They said to each other, ‘We do not want to take hold of him during the Passover festival. If we do that, the people will be angry and they may fight against us.’ 6Then Jesus went to Bethany and he visited Simon at his house. At one time, Simon had had a bad disease of the skin.
