19The disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. 20When evening came, Jesus was at the table with the twelve apostles. While they were eating, he said, “I can guarantee this truth: One of you is going to betray me.” 22Feeling deeply hurt, they asked him one by one, “You don’t mean me, do you, Lord?” 23Jesus answered, “Someone who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.
