¹⁴One of the Twelve went to the chief priests. His name was Judas Iscariot. ¹⁵He asked, “What will you give me if I hand Jesus over to you?” So they counted out 30 silver coins for him. ¹⁶From then on, Judas watched for the right time to hand Jesus over to them.

The Lord’s Supper

¹⁷It was the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The disciples came to Jesus. They asked, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover meal?”

¹⁸He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man. Tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover at your house with my disciples.” ’ ”

¹⁹So the disciples did what Jesus had told them to do. They prepared the Passover meal.

²⁰When evening came, Jesus was at the table with the Twelve. ²¹While they were eating, he said, “What I’m about to tell you is true. One of you will hand me over to my enemies.”

²²The disciples became very sad. One after the other, they began to say to him, “It’s not I, Lord, is it?”

²³Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will hand me over. ²⁴The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But how terrible it will be for the one who hands over the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

²⁵Judas was the one who was going to hand him over. He said, “It’s not I, Rabbi, is it?”

Jesus answered, “Yes. It is you.”
