Matthew 26:14–19
Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, “What will you give me if I betray him to you?” They paid him thirty pieces of silver. And from that moment he began to look for an opportunity to betray him. On the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where do you want us to make the preparations for you to eat the Passover?” He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, My time is near; I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.’” So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover meal.

Reflection
• Do I have a different vision of the messianic kingdom than Jesus? Had he Did he resent that Jesus saw through him when he protested at the waste of Mary’s costly ointment at the feast?
• Am I always motivated by anger and disappointment?
