Matthew 26:21-25
New King James Version
21 Now as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will (A)betray Me.”
22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?”
23 He answered and said, (B)“He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man indeed goes just (C)as it is written of Him, but (D)woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! (E)It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”
25 Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?”
He said to him, “You have said it.”

Amplified Bible
21 And as they were eating, He said, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you that one of you will betray Me.” 22 Being deeply grieved and extremely distressed, each one of them began to say to Him, “Surely not I, Lord?” 23 Jesus answered, “He who has dipped his hand in the bowl with Me [as a [a]pretense of friendship] will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man is to go [to the cross], just as it is written [in Scripture] of Him; but woe (judgment is coming) to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born.”(A) 25 And Judas, the betrayer, said, “Surely it is not I, Rabbi?” Jesus said to him, “[b]You have said it yourself.”
