Study Note
'And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him' — Matthew's scene-setting for the passion conspiracy immediately follows Jesus's passion predictions in Matthew 24–25, showing that the human plotting and the divine foreknowledge run on parallel tracks. The 'subtilty' (dolō — deceit, guile) echoes the Psalms' consistent portrayal of enemies who conspire against the righteous through cunning rather than open confrontation (Psalm 10:7–10; 35:20). The political calculation that 'not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people' (verse 5) ironically anticipates Judas's offer of nighttime arrest and the ultimately unavoidable crowd-involvement in the passion.
