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.
Mark 14:1, Berean Standard Bible

The chief priests and scribes, the religious leaders, have already decided to kill Jesus, but they want a covert way to arrest Him, since verse 2 notes their fear of a riot during the crowded feast.
