Matthew 26:14-19
"Then one of the Twelve, the man called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said. 'What are you prepared to give me if I hand him over to you?' They paid him thirty silver pieces, and from that moment he looked for an opportunity to betray him.
Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus to say, 'Where do you want us to make the preparations for you to eat the Passover?' 'Go to so-and-so in the city' he replied 'and say to him, 'the Master says: My time is near. It is at your house that I am keeping Passover with my disciples.' The disciples did what Jesus told them and prepared the Passover."
