The Son of Man indeed goes, as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had never been born.’ Then Judas, his betrayer, said in reply, ‘Surely it is not I, Rabbi?’ He answered, ‘You have said so'” (Mt 26:23-25).
The old name for today was Spy Wednesday, which speaks to where we are at as we watch the preliminary drama of Jesus’s passion unfold. Judas already has the 30 pieces of silver in his pocket.
