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 and said, "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 tell him, 'The Teacher says, "My time is near. I will observe the Passover with my disciples at your house."'" ¹⁹ So the disciples did as Jesus had instructed them, and they prepared the Passover. ²⁰ When it was evening, he took his place at the table with the twelve. ²¹ And while they were eating he said, "I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me."

²² They became greatly distressed and each one began to say to him, "Surely not I, Lord?"

²³ He answered, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. ²⁴ The Son of Man will go as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had never been born."

²⁵ Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely not I, Rabbi?" Jesus replied, "You have said it yourself."

¹² Now on the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus' disciples said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

¹³ He sent two of his disciples and told them, "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. ¹⁴ Wherever he enters, tell 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 room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there." ¹⁶ So the disciples left, went into the city, and found things just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁷ Then, when it was evening, he came to the house with the twelve. ¹⁸ While they were at the table eating, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, one of you eating with me will betray me."

¹⁹ They were distressed, and one by one said to him, "Surely not I?"

²⁰ He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who dips his hand with me into the bowl. ²¹ For the Son of Man will go as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had never been born."

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

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

¹⁰ He said to them, "Listen, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters, ¹¹ and tell 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 Then he will show you a large furnished room upstairs. Make preparations there."

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