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

¹⁷ On the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Where do you want us to make preparation for you eat the Passover?"

¹⁸ "Go into the city," he answered, "to a certain man, and tell him. "'The Teacher says. "My time is near. I am going to keep the Passover at your house, with my disciples."'" ¹⁹ The disciples did as Jesus told them, and made ready the Passover. ²⁰ When evening came he reclined at table with the Twelve; ²¹ and as they were eating, he said to them, "In solemn truth I tell you that one of you is going to betray me!"

²² In deep distress they began to ask him, each in turn, "It is not I, is it, Master?"

²³ In reply he said: "One who has dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me. ²⁴ "The Son of man is indeed to go as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed. It were good for that man if he had never been born."

²⁵ In answer, Judas, who betrayed him, said, "Surely it is not I, Rabbi?" He said to him, "Is it not?"

¹² And the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, the day for killing the paschal lamb, his disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make preparation for you to eat the Passover?"

¹³ Then he sent two of his disciples, and told them. "Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a jar of water. ¹⁴ Follow him; and whatever house he enters, say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher asks, "Where is your guest-chamber, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"' ¹⁵ He will himself show you a large, upper room, furnished and ready. there make preparation for us." ¹⁶ So the disciples went off, and came into the city, and found everything as he had told them.

¹⁷ So they made ready the Passover, and as night fell he came, with the Twelve. ¹⁸ While they were at the table, eating, Jesus said solemnly. "It is one of you who will betray me??ne who is eating with me."

¹⁹ They began to be sorrowful and to say to him, one after another, "Surely, not I?"

²⁰ "It is one of the Twelve," said Jesus, "one who is dipping into the same dish with me. ²¹ For the Son of man is going his way, as the Scripture says, but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It were good for that man if he had never been born."

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

⁹ "Where shall we get it ready?" they asked.

¹⁰ He answered. "No sooner will you have entered the city than you will meet a man carrying a water-jug. Follow him into the house were he is going. ¹¹ "And to the good man of the house say, 'The teacher asks you, "Where is the room in which I can eat the Passover with my disciples?"' ¹² "Then he will show you a large upper room furnished. There make your preparations."

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