18 And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, (G)“My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.” ’ ”

22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?”

23 He answered and said, (J)“He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man indeed goes just (K)as it is written of Him, but (L)woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! (M)It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

He said to him, “You have said it.”

23 Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.(K) 24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him.(L) But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
