Mark 14:2

"It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception and kill him."

Key Reflection

This passage highlights the tension between Jesus and his opponents, indicating that even as he prepares for the Passover, the religious leaders are plotting his demise. Their deceitful intentions underscore the broader narrative of God's sovereign plan for Christ's sacrifice to atone for sin, despite human opposition.
