you? And they weighed out to him thirty pieces of silver. (16)And from
that time he sought opportunity to deliver him up.
(17)And on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the
disciples came to Jesus, saying to him: Where wilt thou that we
prepare for thee to eat the passover? (18)And he said: Go into the
city to such a man, and say to him: The Teacher says, my time is at
hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. (19)And
the disciples did as Jesus directed them, and made ready the passover.
(20)And when evening was come, he reclined at table with the twelve.
(21)And as they were eating, he said: Verily I say to you, that one of
you will betray me. (22)And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and began
to say to him, each one: Lord, is it I? (23)And he answering said: He

(30)And having sung, they went out into the mount of the Olives.
