Luke
  
2And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill Him, for they feared the people.


The leaders of the people did not find rest or pleasure by the coming of the feast, for the multitudes raced to the country young man Jesus of Galilee of the Gentiles, who became beside the Temple the second center of the feast. He had led the delegation of the Sanhedrin to confess their ignorance, and condemned the scribes as hypocrites, for they were not prepared to obey the truth of the Holy Spirit. Therefore those leaders flared up and decided seriously to find a way to destroy Jesus. But the love of the people for him prevented the cunning foxes from carrying up their plans openly, for the multitudes felt the authority of God coming out of the Nazarene.
