Judas went to the leading priests and some of the soldiers who guarded the Temple and talked to them about a way to hand Jesus over to them.

They were pleased and agreed to give Judas money.

He agreed and watched for the best time to hand Jesus over to them when he was away from the crowd.

The Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover lambs had to be sacrificed.
8
Jesus said to Peter and John, "Go and prepare the Passover meal for us to eat."
9
They asked, "Where do you want us to prepare it?"
10
Jesus said to them, "After you go into the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters,
11
and tell the owner of the house, 'The Teacher says: Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover meal with my followers?'
12
Then he will show you a large, furnished room upstairs. Prepare the Passover meal there."
