Matthew 26:17-25

The Passover with the Disciples

17 1Now on 2the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
18 He said, "Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, 3'The Teacher says, 4My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.'"
19 And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover.
20 5When it was evening, he reclined at table with the twelve.[a]
21 And as they were eating, 6he said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."
22 And they were very sorrowful and began to say to him one after another, "Is it I, Lord?"
23 He answered, 7"He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me.
24 The Son of Man goes 8as it is written of him, but 9woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! 10It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."
25 Judas, who would betray him, answered, "Is it I, 11Rabbi?" He said to him, 12"You have said so."
