Commentary on Matthew 26:4
Consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty—The Greek dolos (δόλος) means 'deceit' or 'treachery.' The religious leaders plot to arrest Jesus secretly, contradicting legal procedures requiring public charges. Their scheming fulfills Psalm 2:2: 'The rulers take counsel together against the LORD, and against his anointed.'And kill him—The stark brutality of apokteino (ἀποκτείνω) reveals premeditated murder. They've moved beyond theological disagreement to conspiracy to commit capital crime. These guardians of 'Thou shalt not kill' (Exodus 20:13) plot judicial murder of the sinless One.
