This reflects the depth of their hostility and the seriousness of their intentions. The Pharisees' plotting is a fulfillment of the growing tension between Jesus and the religious authorities, as seen throughout the Gospels. Their actions are not spontaneous but calculated, showing their determination to eliminate what they perceived as a threat to their power and religious system.<p><b>how they might kill Jesus.</b><br>The intent to kill Jesus marks a pivotal moment in the Gospel narrative, foreshadowing His eventual crucifixion. This desire to kill is rooted in their perception of Jesus as a blasphemer and a disruptor of their authority. It also fulfills Old Testament prophecies about the suffering Messiah, such as <a href="/isaiah/53.htm">Isaiah 53</a>. The Pharisees' plot aligns with the broader theme of Jesus' rejection by His own people, as prophesied in scriptures like <a href="/psalms/118-22.htm">Psalm 118:22</a>.

It is significant that St. Mark adds (<a href="/mark/3-6.htm" title="And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.">Mark 3:6</a>) that they called the Herodians into their counsels. These latter have not yet been mentioned in the Gospel history, but they had probably been irritated by the marked reference to them and their habits of life in the contrast which our Lord drew between them and the Baptist.
