Mattityahu 26:14-27 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

14. Then, one of the Shneym Asar (Twelve), Yehudah from Kriot, went to the Rashei Hakohanim

15. and said, What are you willing to give me? And I will hand him over to you. And they weighed out for him sheloshim shiklei kesef (thirty pieces of silver).

16. And from then on he was seeking an opportunity that he might hand Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach over.

17. But at the onset of Chag HaMatzot, Moshiach's talmidim approached him, saying, Where do you wish we should prepare for you your Seder?

18. And he said, Go into the city to such and such person and say to him, Our Rebbe says, My time is at hand. With you I am observing Pesach with my talmidim.

19. And the talmidim did as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach commanded them, and they prepared the Seder.

20. When erev came, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was sitting bimesibba (reclining) at tish with the Shneym Asar Talmidim.

21. And as they were eating with their Rebbe, he said, Omein, I say to you that one of you will be my betrayer.

22. And much distressed, each one began to say to him, Surely I am not the one, Adoni?

23. But, in reply, he said, The one having dipped the hand into the bowl [SHEMOT 12:8] with me, this one is my betrayer.

24. Indeed the Ben Adam [Moshiach] goes as it was written concerning him, but oy to that man through whom the Ben HaAdam is betrayed. It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.

25. And, in reply, Yehudah the betrayer of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, said, Surely I am not the one, Rabbi? Moshiach says to Yehudah, You have said it.

26. And at the Seudah, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having taken matzah, having made HaMotzi, he broke the [middle] matzah, giving the afikoman to the talmidim, and said, Take and eat, this is my basar.

27. And having taken the Cup of Redemption and having made the bracha, he gave it to them, saying, Drink from it, all of you.
