Jesus' Final Passover With The Disciples

20 "It is one of the Twelve," He replied; "he who is dipping his fingers in the dish with me. 21 For the Son of Man is going His way as it is written about Him; but alas for the man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It had been a happy thing for that man, had he never been born." 22 Also during the meal He took a Passover biscuit, blessed it, and broke it. He then gave it to them, saying, "Take this, it is my body."
