And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.

According to Jesus, the religious leaders of Israel would condemn Him and hand Him over to the Romans for execution. According to Matthew, this is exactly what the chief priests and elders intended to accomplish by working together. 
In Matthew, many of the events leading up to Christ's death and crucifixion are described in detail, including His arrest and lawless trial. Throughout Scripture, we are told everything we need to know about His passion and cruel treatment. As we read these first few verses of Matthew 26, we learn of an evil conspiracy orchestrated by these religious Jews in stealth.
There was no surprise in Jesus' response to the evil plot to stealthily seize Him and murder Him in secret. It is foolish to think that the hidden secrets of our minds and the shadows of darkness can be concealed from the almighty God. Let all of our words, our meditations, and all of our thoughts be acceptable to our heavenly Father and to our God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
