15. and he said to them, "What are you willing to give me, if I hand him over to you?" So they appointed thirty pieces of silver for him.
16. And from then on, he sought an opportunity to betray him.
17. Then, on the first day of Unleavened Bread, the disciples approached Jesus, saying, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
18. So Jesus said, "Go into the city, to a certain one, and say to him: 'The Teacher said: My time is near. I am observing the Passover with you, along with my disciples.' "
19. And the disciples did just as Jesus appointed to them. And they prepared the Passover.
20. Then, when evening arrived, he sat at table with his twelve disciples.
21. And while they were eating, he said: "Amen I say to you, that one of you is about to betray me."
22. And being greatly saddened, each one of them began to say, "Surely, it is not I, Lord?"
23. But he responded by saying: "He who dips his hand with me into the dish, the same will betray me.
24. Indeed, the Son of man goes, just as it has been written about him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of man will be betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had not been born."
25. Then Judas, who betrayed him, responded by saying, "Surely, it is not I, Master?" He said to him, "You have said it."
26. Now while they were eating the meal, Jesus took bread, and he blessed and broke and gave it to his disciples, and he said: "Take and eat. This is my body."
27. And taking the chalice, he gave thanks. And he gave it to them, saying: "Drink from this, all of you.
28. For this is my blood of the new covenant, which shall be shed for many as a remission of sins.
29. But I say to you, I will not drink again from this fruit of the vine, until that day when I will drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father."
30. And after a hymn was sung, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31. Then Jesus said to them: "You will all fall away from me in this night. For it has been written: 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'
32. But after I have risen again, I will go before you to Galilee."
33. Then Peter responded by saying to him, "Even if everyone else has fallen away from you, I will never fall away."
34. Jesus said to him, "Amen I say to you, that in this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."
35. Peter said to him, "Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will not deny you." And all the disciples spoke similarly.
