Though he knew they were playing tricks him, he pretended not to notice it.

1. Judas betrays Jesus When Jesus finished speaking all these words, he said to his disciples, “You know that the Passover is two days from now. And the Human One will be handed over to be crucified.” Then the chief priests and elders of the people gathered in the courtyard of Caiaphas the high priest. They were plotting to arrest Jesus by cunning tricks and to kill him. But they agreed that it shouldn’t happen during the feast so there wouldn’t be an uproar among the people. When Jesus was at Bethany visiting the house of Simon, who had a skin disease, a woman came to him with a vase made of alabaster containing very expensive perfume. She poured it on Jesus’ head while he was sitting at dinner. Now when the disciples saw it they were angry. But Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said, “Why do you make trouble for the woman? She’s done a good thing for me. You always have the poor with you, but you won’t always have me. By pouring this perfume over my body she’s prepared me to be buried. I tell you the truth that wherever in the whole world this good news is announced, what she’s done will also be told in memory of her.” Then one of the Twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, “What will you give me if I turn Jesus over to you?” They paid him thirty pieces of silver. From that time on he was looking for an opportunity to turn him in. 1.What can be inferred from the passage?

Halloween is a holiday widely celebrated with different names in many countries.Although it originated as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States.It is now celebrated largely as a children's day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand.

The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it, and a candle placed inside as a decoration in the window.City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations.

Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one's neigh bars and friends, such as ringing door bells, throwing bits of corn on the window panes, and in other ways making minor disturbances.

More recently, children come to the door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and guess who they are behind the false faces and receive treats of candies, fruits or cookies.They say, “Trick or Treat”, meaning, “I will play a trick on you if you do not give me a treat.” More recently, this practice has even developed into a significantinternational activity.Instead of or along with candies, children collect money for UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund).This special collection of money by children for needy children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick or Treat”.Begun only recently, it results in several million dollars each year contributed to UNICEF.The collection box is orange, reminiscent of the pumpkin.
