Matthew 26:17-30 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

17. And on the first day of Unleavened Bread the taught ones came to יהושע, saying to Him, “Where do You wish us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

18. And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I am to observe the Passover at your house with My taught ones.” ’ ”

19. And the taught ones did as יהושע had ordered them, and prepared the Passover.

20. And when evening came, He sat down with the twelve.

21. And while they were eating, He said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you shall deliver Me up.”

22. And they were deeply grieved, and began to say to Him, each of them, “Master, is it I?”

23. And He answering, said, “He who has dipped his hand with Me in the dish, he shall deliver Me up.

24. “Indeed, the Son of Aḏam goes as it has been written concerning Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Aḏam is delivered up! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

25. And Yehuḏah – he who delivered Him up – answering, said, “Rabbi, is it I?” He said to him, “You have said it.”

26. And as they were eating, יהושע took bread, and having blessed, broke and gave it to the taught ones and said, “Take, eat, this is My body.”

27. And taking the cup, and giving thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

28. “For this is My blood, that of the renewed covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins.

29. “But I say to you, I shall certainly not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on till that day when I drink it anew with you in the reign of My Father.”

30. And having sung a song, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
