Mark 14:12-21

The Passover with the Disciples

12 1And on 2the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they 3sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, "Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
13 And he sent 4two of his disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him,
14 and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, 5'The Teacher says, Where is 6my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'
15 And he will show you 7a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us."
16 And the disciples set out and went to the city and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
17 8And when it was evening, he came with the twelve.
18 And as they were reclining at table and eating, 9Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, 10one who is eating with me."
19 They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one after another, "Is it I?"
20 He said to them, "It is 11one of the twelve, 12one who is dipping bread into the dish with me.
21 For the Son of Man goes 13as it is written of him, but 14woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! 15It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."
