Matthew 26:20-25

Contemporary English Version

^20-21 When Jesus was eating with his twelve disciples that evening, he said, “One of you will surely hand me over to my enemies.”

²² The disciples were very sad, and each one said to Jesus, “Lord, you can't mean me!”

^23 (A) He answered, “One of you men who has eaten with me from this dish will betray me. ²⁴ The Son of Man will die, as the Scriptures say. But it's going to be terrible for the one who betrays me! That man would be better off if he had never been born.”

²⁵ Judas said, “Teacher, you surely don't mean me!”

“That's what you say!” Jesus replied. But later, Judas did betray him.
