1  Now after two days it was the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might get hold of Him by guile, and [how ]they might kill [Him].

1  AFTER two days, the passover of un leavened bread was to come; and the high priests and the scribes were seeking how to seize him by craft and kill him.

2  But they said, "Not during the feast, lest there be a disturbance of the people."

2  for they said, Not during the feast, lest haply there shall be a tumult of the people.

2  And they said, Not during the feast, for it may cause a riot among the people.
