Yet the hand of him who is betraying me is at the table with me. For indeed the Son of Man goes on His way--His pre-destined way; yet alas for that man who is betraying Him!" Thereupon they began to discuss with one another which of them it could possibly be who was about to do this.

Immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came and with him a crowd of men armed with swords and cudgels, sent by the High Priests and Scribes and Elders.

Rouse yourselves. Let us be going. My betrayer is close at hand."
