The Passover Meal

^17 (A)Now on the first day of ^(B)Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?” ¹⁸ And He said, “Go into the city to ^(C)a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “^(D)My time is near; I am keeping the Passover at your house with My disciples.”’” ¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.

^20 (E)Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples. ²¹ And as they were eating, He said, “^(F)Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me.” ²² And being deeply grieved, they ^[a]each one began to say to Him, “Surely not I, Lord?” ²³ And He answered and said, “^(G)He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me. ²⁴ The Son of Man is going, ^(H)just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! ^(I)It would have been good ^[b]for that man if he had not been born.” ²⁵ And ^(J)Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Surely not I, ^(K)Rabbi?” Jesus *said to him, “^(L)You yourself said it.”
