Mat 26:21 and as they were eating, he said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.”
Mat 26:22 And they were very sorrowful, and began to say to him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?”
Mat 26:23 He answered, “He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me, will betray me.
Mat 26:24 The Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe 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.”
Mat 26:25 Judas, who betrayed him, said, “Is it I, Master?” He said to him, “You have said so.”
Mat 26:26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
Mat 26:27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you;
Mat 26:28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Mat 26:29 I tell you I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
