Mark 14:1-2

The Son of Man Handed Over: Anointing, Supper, Gethsemane, Betrayal, Trial, and Denial

Mark 14 moves from conspiracy to devotion, from betrayal to covenant meal, from confident disciples to sleeping and scattered disciples, from anguished prayer to willing surrender, from false testimony to true confession before the council, and from Peter's bold promise to bitter denial.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1 Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were two days away, and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a covert way to arrest Jesus and kill Him.

2 “But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”
