Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus

Mark 14:10, 11; Luke 22:3–6

14 jThen one of the twelve, called kJudas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, l“What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?” And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver. 16 So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.

The Passover is Prepared

Mark 14:12–16; Luke 22:7–13

17 mNow on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

18 And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, n“My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.” ’ ”

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

The Passover is Celebrated

Mark 14:17–21; Luke 22:14, 21–23; John 13:21, 22

20 oWhen evening had come, He sat down with the twelve. 21 Now as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will pbetray Me.”

22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?”

23 He answered and said, q“He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man indeed goes just ras it is written of Him, but swoe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! tIt would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

25 Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?”

He said to him, “You have said it.”
