Matthew 26:1 - 25

Jesus prepares to celebrate the Passover in Jerusalem.  This is not unusual, for the law required the feast to be celebrated in the capital city.  During this time the religious leaders, with the help of one of Jesus' followers, seek the opportunity to arrest and execute this teacher from Nazareth.  Jesus knows even this, and informs His followers that one of them - one who celebrates the feast with them - will betray Him.  Yet, in all this, we see no panic or anxiety on Jesus' part.  He does not have a martyr's complex; He is steadfast in His obedience to His Father's will.
