Context of Matthew 26:15

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 and 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?”
