Judas to Betray Jesus

14 (A)Then one of the twelve, whose name was (B)Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, “What will you give me if I deliver him over to you?” And they (C)paid him (D)thirty pieces of silver. 16 And from that moment he sought an opportunity (E)to betray him.

The Passover with the Disciples

17 (F)Now on (G)the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 18 He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, (H)‘The Teacher says, (I)My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.’” 19 And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover.

20 (J)When it was evening, he reclined at table with the twelve.[a] 21 And as they were eating, (K)he said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” 22 And they were very sorrowful and began to say to him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?” 23 He answered, (L)“He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me. 24 The Son of Man goes (M)as it is written of him, but (N)woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! (O)It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” 25 Judas, who would betray him, answered, “Is it I, (P)Rabbi?” He said to him, (Q)“You have said so.”

Institution of the Lord's Supper

26 (R)Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and (S)after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; (T)this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he (U)had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for (V)this is my (W)blood of the[b] covenant, which is poured out for (X)many (Y)for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you (Z)in my Father's kingdom.”

Judas’ Bargain

14 (A)Then one of the twelve, named (B)Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, “What are you willing to give me [a]to [b](C)betray Him to you?” And (D)they set out for him thirty [c]pieces of silver. 16 And from then on he looked for a good opportunity to [d]betray [e]Jesus.

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

The Last Passover

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

The Lord’s Supper Instituted

26 (Q)Now while they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and [j](R)after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” 27 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; 28 for (S)this is My blood of the covenant, which is being poured out for (T)many for forgiveness of sins. 29 But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it with you, new, in My Father’s kingdom.”

30 (U)And after singing a [k]hymn, they went out to (V)the Mount of Olives.

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(A)

14 Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot(B)—went to the chief priests 15 and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver.(C) 16 From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.

The Last Supper(D)(E)(F)

17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(G) the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”(H)

18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time(I) is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” 19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21 And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”(J)

22 They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?”

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.”

25 Then Judas, the one who would betray him,(M) said, “Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?”(N)

Jesus answered, “You have said so.”

26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it(O) and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

27 Then he took a cup,(P) and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[a] covenant,(Q) which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.(R) 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you(S) in my Father’s kingdom.”

30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.(T)

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus

14 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, went to the leading priests 15 and asked, “How much will you pay me to betray Jesus to you?” And they gave him thirty pieces of silver. 16 From that time on, Judas began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

The Last Supper

17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to prepare the Passover meal for you?”

18 “As you go into the city,” he told them, “you will see a certain man. Tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My time has come, and I will eat the Passover meal with my disciples at your house.’” 19 So the disciples did as Jesus told them and prepared the Passover meal there.

20 When it was evening, Jesus sat down at the table[a] with the Twelve. 21 While they were eating, he said, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me.”

22 Greatly distressed, each one asked in turn, “Am I the one, Lord?”

23 He replied, “One of you who has just eaten from this bowl with me will betray me. 24 For the Son of Man must die, as the Scriptures declared long ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It would be far better for that man if he had never been born!”

25 Judas, the one who would betray him, also asked, “Rabbi, am I the one?”

And Jesus told him, “You have said it.”

26 As they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take this and eat it, for this is my body.”

27 And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them and said, “Each of you drink from it, 28 for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant[b] between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many. 29 Mark my words—I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”

30 Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.
