Matthew 26:17-25 - Jesus' Final Passover With The Disciples

¹⁷ Now on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

¹⁸ He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, my time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.'" ¹⁹ So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover. ²⁰ When evening had come, he sat at the table with the twelve. ²¹ And as they were eating, he said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."

²² And they were very sorrowful, and began to say to him one after another, "Is it I, Lord?"

²³ He answered, "He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me. ²⁴ The Son of Man goes just as it is written of 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, who was betraying him, answered, "Rabbi, is it I?" He said to him, "You have said it."

¹² Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, "Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

¹³ And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him. ¹⁴ And wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher says, where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?' ¹⁵ He will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready; make preparations for us there." ¹⁶ So the disciples set out and went to the city, and found it just as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁷ And when it was evening he came with the twelve. ¹⁸ And as they were at table eating, Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me."

¹⁹ They began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, "Is it I?"

²⁰ He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who dips bread into the dish with me. ²¹ For the Son of Man goes just as it is written of 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."

⁷ Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. ⁸ So he sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat."

⁹ They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare it?"

¹⁰ He said to them, "Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters. ¹¹ And say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher says to you: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?' ¹² He will show you a large, furnished upper room; there make ready."

¹³ So they went, and found it just as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover.
