Proposition - As we look to the word this morning we are going to see two things; 1) the depravity of man on display, and 2) the glory of God on displaying.
Interrogative question - What’s on display in your life?
Who are the disciples?
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him.
4 And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, along with a large number of the God-fearing Greeks and a number of the leading women. 5 But the Jews, becoming jealous and taking along some wicked men from the market place, formed a mob and set the city in an uproar; and attacking the house of Jason, they were seeking to bring them out to the people. 6 When they did not find them, they began dragging Jason and some brethren before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have upset the world have come here also;
13 Now as they observed the confidence of Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and began to recognize them as having been with Jesus.

Who are the twelve disciples?
The twelve disciples/apostles were ordinary men whom God used in an extraordinary manner. Among the twelve were fishermen, a tax collector, and a revolutionary. The Gospels record the constant failings, struggles, and doubts of these twelve men who followed Jesus Christ. After Jesus’ resurrection and ascension into heaven, the Holy Spirit transformed the disciples/apostles into powerful men of God who turned the world upside down (Acts 17:6). What made the change? The twelve apostles/disciples had “been with Jesus” (Acts 4:13). May the same be said of us! gotquestions.org
What has just taken place?
What is the problem with Judas Iscariot?
What made Judas so vulnerable?
How much did the religious leaders offer Judas?
The ESV Study Bible (Chapter 26)
26:15–16 thirty pieces of silver. In the OT, this was the penalty paid by the owner of an ox that gored a slave to death (Ex. 21:32). Equivalent to about four months’ wages for a laborer (about $7,500 in modern terms), this meager sum suggests the low esteem in which Jesus was held by both Judas and the chief priests. opportunity to betray him. Judas’s treachery reveals that he was not a true believer (cf. Luke 22:3–4).
CSB Study Bible: Notes (Chapter 26)
26:14–16 If the thirty pieces of silver are thirty shekels, the amount was equal to 120 days’ wages. Thus by his traitorous act Judas earned an amount of money that equaled only one-third of the value of Mary’s lavish gift (see note at v. 7). On the significance of this amount, see note at 27:9–10.

17 Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?” 18 And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near; I am to keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.” ’ ” 19 The disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.
What is the “first day of unleavened bread?”
The ESV Study Bible Chapter 26
26:17 first day of Unleavened Bread. The Festival of Unleavened Bread lasted seven days, from Nisan (March/April) 15 to 21 (cf. Lev. 23:5–6). prepare for you to eat the Passover. Preparations for the Passover were made on Thursday afternoon (Nisan 14). Jesus and the disciples ate the Passover meal after sundown on Thursday evening (now Nisan 15), with Jesus instituting the Lord’s Supper later that evening. Jesus was crucified the following afternoon, Friday (still Nisan 15).
Why do you think the disciples asked Jesus about where to have it?
What did Jesus command them to do? (go and say)
Do you think that Jesus had made plans prior to this or is this an amazing act of God’s omniscience?
SO WHAT??
