Matthew 26:20-25

The Last Passover

20 ¹Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.

21 As they were eating, He said, "²Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me."

22 Being deeply grieved, they each one began to say to Him, "Surely not I, Lord?"

23 And He answered, "³He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me.

24 "The Son of Man is to go, ⁴just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! ⁵It would have been good for that man if he had not been born."

25 And ⁶Judas, who was betraying Him, said, "Surely it is not I, ⁷Rabbi?" Jesus said to him, "⁸You have said it yourself."
