One of the 12 disciples, called Judas Iscariot, went into the chief priests and said unto them, “What will you give me and I will deliver him unto you?” And they covenanted with him for 30 pieces of silver. And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him. In an upper chamber of a dwelling in Jerusalem, Christ was sitting at a table with his disciples. They had gathered to celebrate the Passover Festival. At a feast it was customary for a servant to wash the feet of the guests, and on this occasion preparation had been made for the service. The pitcher of water, the basin, and the towel were there, in readiness for the feet washing. Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and return to his Father. He had loved his disciples during his ministry on earth, and now he had loved them to the very end.
