But the look which Jesus cast upon Judas convinced him that the Saviour penetrated his hypocrisy, and read his base, contemptible character. And in commending Mary's action, which had been so severely condemned, Christ had rebuked Judas. Prior to this, the Saviour had never given him a direct rebuke. Now the reproof rankled in his heart. He determined to be revenged. From the supper he went directly to 564 the palace of the high priest, where he found the council assembled, and he offered to betray Jesus into their hands.

Men det blik, som Jesus rettede mod Judas, overbeviste denne om, at Frelseren gennemskuede hans hykleri og læste hans lave, foragtelige tanker. Og ved at prise Marias handling, der var blevet så hårdt fordømt, havde Kristus dadlet Judas. Før dette skete, havde Frelseren aldrig givet ham en direkte irettesættelse. Nu efterlod tilrettevisningen en brod i hans hjerte.Han besluttede at ville hævne sig. Lige fra aftensmåltidet gik han hen til ypperstepræstens palads, hvor han fandt rådet samlet, og han tilbød dem at forråde Jesus til dem.
