New Testament

Matthew 26:11-24 New King James Version (NKJV)

11. For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always.

12. For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial.

13. Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”

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

15. and said, “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.

17. Now 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, “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.

20. When 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 betray 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, “He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me.

24. The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”
