²⁰ When it was evening, Jesus and the twelve disciples sat down to eat. ²¹ During the meal Jesus said, “I tell you, one of you will betray me.”

²² The disciples were very upset and began to ask him, one after the other, “Surely, Lord, you don't mean me?”

^23 (A)Jesus answered, “One who dips his bread in the dish with me will betray me. ²⁴ The Son of Man will die as the Scriptures say he will, but how terrible for that man who will betray the Son of Man! It would have been better for that man if he had never been born!”

²⁵ Judas, the traitor, spoke up. “Surely, Teacher, you don't mean me?” he asked.

Jesus answered, “So you say.”

¹⁷ When it was evening, Jesus came with the twelve disciples. ^18 (A)While they were at the table eating, Jesus said, “I tell you that one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.”

¹⁹ The disciples were upset and began to ask him, one after the other, “Surely you don't mean me, do you?”

²⁰ Jesus answered, “It will be one of you twelve, one who dips his bread in the dish with me. ²¹ The Son of Man will die as the Scriptures say he will; but how terrible for that man who will betray the Son of Man! It would have been better for that man if he had never been born!”

^21 (A)“But, look! The one who betrays me is here at the table with me! ²² The Son of Man will die as God has decided, but how terrible for that man who betrays him!”

²³ Then they began to ask among themselves which one of them it could be who was going to do this.
