Matthew 26:12-25

12By pouring this perfume on my body, she has prepared me for burial.

13Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”

14Then one of the Twelve, the man called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

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

16And from that time he started looking for a good opportunity to betray him.

17On the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”

18“Go into the city to a certain man,” he said, “and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My time is near; I am celebrating the Passover at your place with my disciples.’”

19So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

20When evening came, he was reclining at the table with the Twelve.

21While they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”

22Deeply distressed, each one began to say to him, “Surely not I, Lord?”

23He replied, “The one who dipped his hand with me in the bowl — he will betray me.

24The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for him if he had not been born.”

25Judas, his betrayer, replied, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” “You have said it,” he told him.
