menu_book Verse in Context

14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

15 and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?” So they weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.

16 From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

17 Now on the first day 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 He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.”’”
