Jesus called the twelve and began to send them out two by two. He gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

After he sat down, he called the twelve and said to them, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."

They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem. Jesus was going ahead of them, and they were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was going to happen to him.

Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went to the temple. And after looking around at everything, he went out to Bethany with the twelve since it was already late.

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus into their hands.

Then, when it was evening, he came to the house with the twelve.

He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who dips his hand with me into the bowl.

Right away, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived. With him came a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and experts in the law and elders.
