20 I know one of the twelve, a man who worships wealth, and for a sum I think that he will lead the way to where the man is wont to pray.
21 And then Caiaphas said, If you will lead the way and bribe the man of whom you speak, to aid in seizing Jesus in a secret place, then we will give to you a hundred silver pieces for your hire.
22 And Ananias said, ’Tis well.
23 And then he went to Bethany and found the twelve at Simon’s house, and calling Judas to the side he said,
24 If you would care to make a sum of money for yourself hear me:
25 The high priest and the other rulers in Jerusalem would like to talk with Jesus when alone, that they may know about his claims;
26 And if he proves himself to be the Christ, lo, they will stand in his defense.
27 Now, if you will but lead the way to where your master is tomorrow night that they may send a priest to talk with him alone, there is a sum of silver, thirty pieces, that the priests will give to you.
28 And Judas reasoned with himself; he said, It surely may be well to give the Lord a chance to tell the priests about his claims when he is all alone.
29 And if the priests would do him harm he has the power to disappear and go his way as he has done before; and thirty pieces is a goodly sum.
