^(C1)Now on the first day of ^(F1)(C2)Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and ^(F2)asked, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?"

And He said, "Go into the city to ^(C1)a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, "^(C2)My time is near; I am keeping the Passover at your house with My disciples."'"

The disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.

^(C1)Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the ^(F1)twelve.

And as they were eating, He said, "^(C1)Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me."

Being deeply grieved, they began saying to Him, each one: "Surely it is not I, Lord?"

And He answered, "^(C1)He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me.

"The Son of Man is going away ^(C1)just as it is written about Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! ^(C2)It would have been good ^(F1)for that man if he had not been born."

And ^(C1)Judas, who was betraying Him, said, "Surely it is not I, ^(C2)Rabbi?" Jesus ^(*)said to him, "^(C3)You have said it yourself."
