Matthew 26:1-5, 14-16

¹When Jesus had finished all these words, He said to His disciples, ²“You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be handed over for crucifixion.” ³Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, named Caiaphas; ⁴and they plotted together to seize Jesus by stealth and kill Him. ⁵But they were saying, “Not during the festival, otherwise a riot might occur among the people.”
- Matthew 26:1-5

¹⁴Then one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests ¹⁵and said, “What are you willing to give me to betray Him to you?” And they weighed out thirty pieces of silver to him. ¹⁶From then on he began looking for a good opportunity to betray Jesus.
