Matthew 27:1-2

1 When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put Him to death. 2 And when they had bound Him, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

Commentary
Having tried Jesus before the Sanhedrin council during the night and by false witnesses’ testimony deliberately and quiet intentionally found Jesus “guilty”, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews now plot together on how they are going to put Jesus to death. Now this they had to do since under Roman rule and law they were not permitted to execute anyone, therefore they needed to devise a plan by which they could convince Pontius Pilate the Roman governor who ruled them to execute Jesus for them.
