Betrayal at the Passover
17 On the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do You want us to prepare the Passover so You may eat it?"
18
"Go into the city to a certain man," He said, "and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My time is near; I am celebrating the Passover at your place with My disciples. ' "
19
So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
20
When evening came, He was reclining at the table with the Twelve.
21
While they were eating, He said, "I assure you: One of you will betray Me."
22
Deeply distressed, each one began to say to Him, "Surely not I, Lord?"
23
He replied, "The one who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl-he will betray Me.
24
The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."
25
Then Judas, His betrayer, replied, "Surely not I, Rabbi?" "You have said it," He told him.
