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

¹⁷ The first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus saying unto him, "Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the paschal lamb?"

¹⁸ And he said, "Go into the city, unto such a man, and say to him, The master saith, my time is almost at hand: I will keep mine Easter at thy house with my disciples." ¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them, and made ready the Easter lamb. ²⁰ When the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. ²¹ And as they did eat, he said, "Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me."

²² And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, "Is it I, master?"

²³ He answered and said, "He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. ²⁴ The son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the son of man shall be betrayed. It had been good for that man, if he had never been born."

²⁵ Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, "Is it I, master?" He said unto him, "Thou hast said."

¹² And the first day of sweet bread, when men offer the paschal lamb, his disciples said unto him, "Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the Easter lamb?"

¹³ And he sent forth two of his disciples, and said unto them, "Go ye into the city, and there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water. Follow him. ¹⁴ And whithersoever he goeth in, say ye to the good man of the house, 'The master asketh where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the Easter lamb with my disciples?' ¹⁵ And he will show you a great parlour, paved and prepared: there make ready for us." ¹⁶ And his disciples went forth, and came in to the city, and found as he had said unto them, and made ready the Easter lamb.

¹⁷ And at even, he came with the twelve. ¹⁸ And as they sat at board and ate, Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, That one of you shall betray me, which eateth with me."

¹⁹ And they began to mourn, and to say to him one by one, "Is it I?" And another said, "Is it I?"

²⁰ He answered, and said unto them, "It is one of the twelve and the same dippeth with me in the platter. ²¹ The son of man goeth, as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the son of man is betrayed. Good were it for him, if that man had never been born."

⁷ Then came the day of sweet bread, when of necessity the Easter lamb must be offered. ⁸ And he sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare us the Easter lamb, that we may eat."

⁹ They said to him, "Where wilt thou, that we prepare?"

¹⁰ And he said unto them, "Behold, when ye be entered into the city, there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water, him follow into the same house that he entereth in, ¹¹ and ye shall say unto the good man of the house, 'The master sayeth unto thee, Where is the guest chamber where I shall eat mine Easter lamb with my disciples?' ¹² And he shall show you a great parlour paved. There make ready."

¹³ And they went and found, as he had said unto them: and made ready the Easter lamb.
