Betrayal at the Passover

17 When(A) evening came, He arrived with the Twelve.(B) 18 While they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “I assure you: One of you will betray Me—one who is eating with Me!”

19 They began to be distressed and to say to Him one by one, “Surely not I?”

20 He said to them, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping bread with Me in the bowl. 21 For the Son of Man(C) will go just as it is written(D) about Him,(E) but woe(F) to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”

21 But(A) look, the hand of the one betraying Me is at the table with Me!(B) 22 For the Son of Man will go away as it has been determined,(C) but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”

23 So they began to argue(D) among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do this thing.

Judas’s Betrayal Predicted

21 When(A) Jesus had said this, He was troubled in His spirit(B) and testified,(C) “I assure you: One of you will betray Me!”

22 The disciples started looking at one another—uncertain which one He was speaking about. 23 One of His disciples, the one Jesus loved,(D) was reclining close beside Jesus.[a] 24 Simon Peter motioned to him to find out who it was He was talking about. 25 So he leaned back against Jesus and asked Him, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus replied, “He’s the one I give the piece of bread to after I have dipped it.”(E) When He had dipped the bread,(F) He gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son.[b]
