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

¹⁷ On the first day of unleavened bread the disciples of Jesus came up and said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the passover?"

¹⁸ He said, "Go into the city to so-and-so; tell him that the Teacher says, 'My time is near, I will celebrate the passover at your house with my disciples.' " ¹⁹ So the disciples did as Jesus had told them, and prepared the passover. ²⁰ When evening came he lay at table with the disciples, ²¹ and as they were eating he said, "One of you is going to betray me."

²² They were greatly distressed at this, and each of them said to him, "Lord, surely it is not me."

²³ He answered, "One who has dipped his hand into the same dish as myself is going to betray me. ²⁴ The Son of man goes the road that the scripture has described for him, but woe to the man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! Better that man had never been born!"

²⁵ Then Judas his betrayer said, "Surely it is not me, rabbi?" He said to him, "Is it not?"

¹² On the first day of unleavened bread (the day when the paschal lamb was sacrificed) his disciples said to him, "Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the passover?"

¹³ So he despatched two of his disciples, telling them, "Go into the city and you will meet a man carrying a water-jar; follow him, ¹⁴ and whatever house he goes into, tell the owner that the Teacher says, 'Where is my room, that I may eat the passover there with my disciples?' ¹⁵ He will show you a large room upstairs, with couches spread, all ready; prepare the passover for us there." ¹⁶ The disciples went away into the city and found it was as he had told them. So they prepared the passover,

¹⁷ and when evening fell he arrived along with the twelve. ¹⁸ As they were at table eating, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me, one who is eating with me."

¹⁹ They got distressed at this, and said to him one after another, "Surely it is not me?" "Surely it is not me?"

²⁰ "One of the twelve," he told them, "one who is dipping into the same dish as I am. ²¹ The Son of man goes the road that the scripture has described for him, but woe to the man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! Better that man had never been born!"

⁷ Then came the day of unleavened bread when the paschal lamb had to be sacrificed. ⁸ So Jesus despatched Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the passover for us that we may eat it."

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

¹⁰ He said to them, "When you enter the city you will meet a man carrying a water-jar: follow him to the house he enters, ¹¹ and tell the owner of the house, '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 room upstairs with couches spread; make your preparations there."

¹³ They went off and found it was as he had told them. So they prepared the passover,
