The high priest who had his servants arrest him at night in secret? The Sanhedrin? Yes. Jesus's disciples, no. How about the crowds who thronged to him, causing him once to have to board a boat at the Sea of Galilee and preach to the crowds on the shore? The ones who, when he was heard to be staying at so and so's house, removed the tiles from the roof to lower sick people inside to be healed? The ones who spread palms before when he rode into Jerusalem? Probably not them.Mark 11:... . Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. 9 Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, “Hosanna![ a ]” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”[ b ] 10 “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” .... 15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’[ c ]? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[ d ]” 18 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching. ......... Mark 14: Now the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were scheming to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him. 2 “But not during the festival,” they said, “or the people may riot.” ........... They had to bribe someone to lead them to him so he could be arrested in the middle of the night and that's probably not because he was widely hated by the masses in either Judea or Galilee.
