Matthew 26:14-21 New International Version (NIV)

14. Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests

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

16. From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.

17. On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”

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

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

20. When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve.

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