17 On the first day of the Flat Bread Celebration, the Yeshua’s apprentices approached him and asked, “Where do you want us to prepare the passover meal for you?”

18 “Go into the city to so-and-so,” answered Yeshua, “and tell him that the teacher said, ‘My time is getting close, but I’ll celebrate the passover meal with you, along with my apprentices.’ ”

19 So the apprentices did as Yeshua had instructed them, and then they prepared the passover meal.

20 That evening as Yeshua was sitting with the twelve, 21 he said to them while they were still eating, “I can assure you that one of you is going to turn me in.”

22 They were very upset and one by one they asked him, “Surely it won’t be me, master?”

23 [ref]“It’s the one who dipped his bread into the bowl at the same time as I did,” Yeshua answered. “He’s the one who’s going to turn me in. 24 It’s true that humanity’s child is going to suffer what has already been written about, but on the other hand, the end won’t be good for the man who turns him in, in fact it would have been better for him if he’d never been born.”

25 “Surely it won’t be me, honoured teacher?” asked Yudas, the one who would hand him in.[fn]

“You said it,” he replied.
