Context
The Passover
14:12 Now on the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread , when the Passover lamb is sacrificed , Jesus ’ disciples said to him , “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover ?” 14:13 He sent two of his disciples and told them , “Go into the city , and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you . Follow him . 14:14 Wherever he enters , tell the owner of the house , ‘The Teacher says , “Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples ?”’ 14:15 He will show you a large room upstairs , furnished and ready . Make preparations for us there .” 14:16 So the disciples left , went into the city , and found things just as he had told them , and they prepared the Passover . 14:17 Then , when it was evening , he came to the house with the twelve . 14:18 While they were at the table eating , Jesus said , “I tell you the truth , one of you eating with me will betray me .” 14:19 They were distressed , and one by one said to him , “Surely not I ?” 14:20 He said to them , “It is one of the twelve , one who dips his hand with me into the bowl . 14:21 For the Son of Man will go as it is written about him , but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed ! It would be better for him if he had never been born .”
