14 Then one of the twelve [disciples], who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Jesus over to you?” And they weighed out (a)thirty pieces of silver.(A) 16 And from that moment Judas began looking for an opportune time to betray Jesus.(B)
