Matthew 26:5

But they said, “Not during the feast, so that there won’t be a riot among the people.” ¹ 

"But not during the Feast," they said, "or there may be a riot among the people."

But they were saying, "Not during the festival, otherwise a riot might occur among the people."

"But not during the Passover," they agreed, "or there will be a riot."

They agreed that it should not be done during Passover Week. "We don't want a riot on our hands," they said.

But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear of trouble among the people.

But they said, "Not during the festival, or there may be a riot among the people."

But they said, "Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people."

But they said, “Not during the feast, so that there won’t be a riot among the people.” ¹
