Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus^(A)

^14 (B)Then one of the twelve, called ^(C)Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests ¹⁵ and said, ^(D)“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.

²¹ Now as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will ^(A)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, ^(B)“He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. ²⁴ The Son of Man indeed goes just ^(C)as it is written of Him, but ^(D)woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! ^(E)It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

²⁵ Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?”

He said to him, “You have said it.”

⁴⁸ Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.” ⁴⁹ Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” ^(C)and kissed Him.

⁵⁰ But Jesus said to him, ^(D)“Friend, why have you come?”

Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him.
