17. On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the followers came to Jesus. They said, “We will prepare everything for you to eat the Passover meal. Where do you want us to have the meal?”
18. Jesus answered, “Go into the city. Go to a man I know. Tell him that the Teacher says, ‘The chosen time is near. I will have the Passover meal with my followers at your house.’”
19. They obeyed and did what Jesus told them to do. They prepared the Passover meal.
20. In the evening Jesus was at the table with the twelve followers.
21. They were all eating. Then Jesus said, “Believe me when I say that one of you twelve here will hand me over to my enemies.”
22. The followers were very sad to hear this. Each one said, “Lord, surely I am not the one!”
23. Jesus answered, “One who has dipped his bread in the same bowl with me will be the one to hand me over.
