The Plot to Kill Jesus (Wednesday-Thursday)

The Plot to Kill Jesus (Wednesday-Thursday)

• We are not certain what Jesus did on this day.
• Maybe He spent the day teaching in the

temple?

• Maybe He spent the day making preparations

for the Passover?

• Maybe He spent the day in prayer?
• Maybe He spent the day resting?

The Plot to Kill Jesus (Wednesday-Thursday)

• After teaching on Tuesday, Jesus reminded His

apostles of what was about to happen to Him (Matthew 26:2).

• The chief priests and elders gathered at the

home of Caiphas. They met to plan how to kill Jesus.

• An opportunity came with Judas. Judas was

willing to betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.

• Judas would give the enemies an opportunity

to arrest Jesus away from the crowds.

The Plot to Kill Jesus (Wednesday-Thursday)

• Satan entered Judas’ heart (Luke 22:3).
• Judas was a lover of money. His actions

seemed to be prompted by Jesus’ rebuke of him at the home of Simon the leper.

• Jesus knew all that was going on behind the
• scenes. He could have stopped all this evil at

any time!

• Judas betrayal was a fulfillment of prophecy

(Zechariah 11:12-13; Psalm 41:9).
