Context of Mark 14:11

9I can guarantee this truth: Wherever the Good News is spoken in the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.” 10Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve apostles, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus. They were pleased to hear what Judas had to say and promised to give him money. So he kept looking for a chance to betray Jesus. 12Killing the Passover lamb was customary on the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread.

Follow him.
