Matthew 26:17-25


The Passover Meal

17 aNow on the first day of bUnleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
18 And He said, “Go into the city to aa certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “bMy time is near; I am keeping the Passover at your house with My disciples.”’” 19 And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.
20 aNow when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.
21 And as they were eating, He said, “aTruly I say to you that one of you will betray Me.” 22 And being deeply grieved, they 1each one began to say to Him, “Surely not I, Lord?” 23 And He answered and said, “aHe who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man is going, ajust as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! bIt would have been good 1for that man if he had not been born.” 25 And aJudas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Surely not I, bRabbi?” Jesus *said to him, “cYou yourself said it.”
