Judas to Betray Jesus
10 fThen gJudas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, hwent to the chief priests in order to betray him to them. 11And when they heard it, they were glad and promised to give him money. And he sought an opportunity to ibetray him.The Passover with the Disciples
12 jAnd on kthe first day of Unleavened Bread, when they lsacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, “Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 13And he sent mtwo of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him, 14and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, n‘The Teacher says, Where is omy guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15And he will show you pa large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us.” 16And the disciples set out and went to the city and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.17 qAnd when it was evening, he came with the twelve. 18And as they were reclining at table and eating, rJesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, sone who is eating with me.” 19They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one after another, “Is it I?” 20He said to them, “It is tone of the twelve, uone who is dipping bread into the dish with me. 21For the Son of Man goes vas it is written of him, but wwoe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! xIt would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”
Luke 14:13-14
13But when you give a feast, yinvite zthe poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid aaat abthe resurrection of the just.”1 Corinthians 16:2
2On acthe first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, adas he may prosper, aeso that there will be no collecting when I come.2 Corinthians 8:2-3
2for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and aftheir extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. 3For they gave agaccording to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord,2 Corinthians 8:8-9
8 ahI say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine. 9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that aithough he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.
