Jesus fulfills the prophecies and the Jewish leaders pay Judas Isacriot to betray Jesus.
[Mat 26:14] Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
[Mat 26:15] and said, "What will you give me if I deliver him to you?" And they paid him thirty pieces
of silver.
[Mat 26:16] And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him.
[Mat 26:17] Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Where
will you have us prepare for you to eat the passover?"
[Mat 26:18] He said, "Go into the city to a certain one, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, My time is
at hand; I will keep the passover at your house with my disciples."
[Mat 26:19] And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the passover.
[Mat 26:20] When it was evening, he sat at table with the twelve disciples;
[Mat 26:21] and as they were eating, he said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."
[Mat 26:22] And they were very sorrowful, and began to say to him one after another, "Is it I, Lord?"
[Mat 26:23] He answered, "He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me, will betray me.
[Mat 26:24] The Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of
man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."
[Mat 26:25] Judas, who betrayed him, said, "Is it I, Master?" He said to him, "You have said so." |
