“The Son of man is going, as it is written; but unhappy he by whom it is delivered! " 

A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To Matthew (26, 14-25) 

At that time, one of the Twelve, named Judas Iscariot, went to the high priests and said to them: "What will you give me if I deliver it to you?" They handed him thirty pieces of silver. And ever since, Judas had been looking for a favorable opportunity to hand him over.

On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came up and said to Jesus, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?" »He said to them:« Go to the city, to so and so, and say to him: 'The Master makes you say: My time is at hand; it is with you that I want to celebrate the Passover with my disciples. ” The disciples did as Jesus commanded them and they prepared the Passover.

In the evening, Jesus was at table with the Twelve. During the meal, he declared: “Amen, I say it to you: one of you is going to deliver me. Deeply saddened, they began to ask him, each in turn, "Could it be me, Lord?" "Speaking, he said:" Whoever served the dish at the same time as me, that one is going to deliver me. The Son of man is going, as it is written about him; but woe to him by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would be better for him if he hadn't been born, that man! Judas, the one who betrayed him, spoke: "Rabbi, is that me?" "Jesus replied:" You yourself said it! "
