Matthew 26:14-20

14Then one of the twelve [disciples], who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

15and said, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Jesus over to you?” And they weighed out thirty pieces of silver.

16And from that moment Judas began looking for an opportune time to betray Jesus.

17Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread (Passover Week) the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

18He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time [to suffer and atone for sin] is near; I am to keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.” ’ ”

19[Accordingly] the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover.

20When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.
