20 When evening had come, He sat down with the
twelve. 21 Now as they were eating, He said,
"Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will 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, "He who dipped his
hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. 24 "The
Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of
Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man
is betrayed! It would have been good for that man
if he had not been born." Matt. 2620-24
