VS Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4 and plotted to take Jesus by trickery and kill Him. 5 But they said, "Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people."

MATTHEW 12:14 “But the Pharisees went out and conspired against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.” (NASB95)

PASSOVER IN JERUSALEM

VS But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste? 9 "For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor."

JOHN 12:4-6 “But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was intending to betray Him, said, “Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to poor people? ” Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it.”

VS “Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, "What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?" And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver. So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.”

MARK 3:13–19 “And He went up on the mountain and called to Him those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him. Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach, and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons: Simon, to whom He gave the name Peter…and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. (NKJV)

“SON OF PERDITION (WASTE)” “Complete an irreparable loss and ruin, the loss of the soul or hope for salvation, damnation”

MATTHEW 7:21–23 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’. (NKJV)

MATTHEW 13:24-42 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field…Jesus replied, “The Son of Man is the farmer who plants the good seed. The field is the world, and the good seed represents the people of the Kingdom. The weeds are the people who belong to the evil one…”

MATTHEW 13:24–30 (NLT) 41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will remove from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (NLT)

JOHN 3:3 “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” (NLT) “Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” (Romans 8:9)

ZECHARIAH 11:12-13 I told them, "If you think it best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it." So they paid me thirty pieces of silver. And the LORD said to me, "Throw it to the potter"-- the handsome price at which they priced me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the LORD to the potter.

VS Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?" … So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.

“MY TIME IS AT HAND” Galatians 4:4-5 “But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.”

VS When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve. 21 Now as they were eating, He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me." 22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, "Lord, is it I?" 23 He answered and said, "He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me.

JOHN 6:70-71 Then Jesus replied, "Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!" (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.

PSALM 41:9 “Even my close friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.” (NASB95) “Think of it, my betrayer is a man who is sharing his meal with me.” Hendriksen

JOHN 13:18-30 Please Turn In Your Bibles Acts 1:17 Judas was one of us and shared in the ministry with us.”

VS The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.” 25 Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?” He said to him, “You have said it.”

TOM CONSTABLE “The fact that God sovereignly planned for Messiah to die does not mitigate Judas’ human responsibility in betraying Him. Jesus’ death resulted in salvation for many, but it meant personal and eternal ruin for Judas.”

WILLIAM BARCLAY ( ) “It is just here that we see the real awfulness of sin in its terrible deliberation. In spite of love’s last appeal, Judas went on. Even when he was confronted with his sin and confronted with the face of Christ, he would not turn back.

There is sin and sin. There is the sin of the passionate heart, of the man who, on the impulse of the moment, is swept into wrong doing. Let no man belittle such sin; its consequences can be very terrible.

But far worse is the calculated, callous sin of deliberation, which in cold blood knows what it is doing, which is confronted with the bleak awfulness of the deed and with the love in the eyes of Jesus, and still takes its own way.

Our hearts revolt against the son or daughter who cold-bloodedly breaks a parent’s heart—which is what Judas did to Jesus—and the tragedy is that this is what we ourselves so often do to God.”

1 CORINTHIANS 10:11–14 “These things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age. If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience…

And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. So, my dear friends, flee from the worship of idols.”
