The Passover with the Disciples

17 ⁸Now on ⁹the 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, ¹⁰'The Teacher says, ¹¹My 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 ¹²When it was evening, he reclined at table with the twelve.^[a]

21 And as they were eating, ¹³he 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, ¹⁴"He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me.
