Matthew 26:14-22 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

14. Then 1 of the 12 followers went to talk to the leading priests. This was the follower named Judas Iscariot.

15. He said, “I will give Jesus to you. What will you pay me for doing this?” The priests gave Judas 30 silver coins.

16. After that, Judas waited for the best time to give Jesus to the priests.

17. On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the followers came to Jesus. They said, “We will prepare everything for you to eat the Passover Feast. Where do you want to have the feast?”

18. Jesus answered, “Go into the city to a certain man. Tell him that the Teacher says, ‘The chosen time is near. I will have the Passover Feast with my followers at your house.’”

19. The followers did what Jesus told them to do, and they prepared the Passover Feast.

20. In the evening Jesus was sitting at the table with his 12 followers.

21. They were all eating. Then Jesus said, “I tell you the truth. One of you 12 will turn against me.”

22. This made the followers very sad. Each one said to Jesus, “Surely, Lord, I am not the one who will turn against you. Am I?”
