Enter the religious leaders of the day, the chief priests and elders. They're feeling seriously threatened by Jesus’ influence and His growing popularity.

It's a tense time. The Passover festival is just around the corner, a major event when Jerusalem is packed with people. For the religious leaders, this is their moment. They've been plotting and scheming, and now they’re ready to make their move against Jesus. But they've got to be sneaky about it.
