Matthew 26:12-25

12When she poured this oil on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

13I tell you the truth, 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 one named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

15and said, “What will you give me to betray him into your hands?” So they set out thirty silver coins for him.

16From that time on, Judas began looking for an opportunity to betray him.

17Now on the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”

18He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I will observe the Passover with my disciples at your house.”’”

19So the disciples did as Jesus had instructed them, and they prepared the Passover.

20When it was evening, he took his place at the table with the twelve.

21And while they were eating he said, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me.”

22They became greatly distressed and each one began to say to him, “Surely not I, Lord?”

23He answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.

24The Son of Man will go as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had never been born.”

25Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus replied, “You have said it yourself.”
