[Bible Speaks]

Memorial Bible reading: (Daytime events: Nisan 12) Mark 14:1, 2, 10, 11; Matthew 26:1-5, 14-16

"Now the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread was two days later. And the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to seize him by cunning and kill him; 2 for they were saying: “Not at the festival; perhaps there might be an uproar of the people.” (Mark 14:1)

"And Judas Is·carʹi·ot, one of the Twelve, went off to the chief priests in order to betray him to them. 11 When they heard it, they were delighted and promised to give him silver money. So he began seeking an opportunity to betray him." (Mark 14:10,11)

"Now when Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples: 2 “You know that two days from now the Passover takes place, and the Son of man will be handed over to be executed on the stake.” 3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the courtyard of the high priest, who was named Caʹia·phas, 4 and they conspired together to seize Jesus by cunning and to kill him. 5 However, they were saying: “Not at the festival, so that there may not be an uproar among the people.” (Matthew 26: 1-5)

"Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Is·carʹi·ot, went to the chief priests 15 and said: “What will you give me to betray him to you?” They stipulated to him 30 silver pieces. 16 So from then on, he kept looking for a good opportunity to betray him." (Matthew 26:14-16)
