Jesus Identifies Judas as the Betrayer

Matthew 26:20–25; Mark 14:17–21; Luke 22:21–23; John 13:21–30

Mk 14:17–18aWhen evening came, He arrived with the Twelve. 18aWhile they were reclining and eating, Jn 13:21aHe was troubled in His spirit and testified, “I assure you: One of youMk 14:18bone who is eating with Me—Jn 13:21bwill betray Me! Lk 22:21But look, the hand of the one betraying Me is at the table with Me!”

Jn 13:22The disciples started looking at one another—at a loss as to which one He was speaking about. Mt 26:22Deeply distressed, each one began to say to Him, “Surely not I, Lord?” [Lk 22:23So they began to argue among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do this thing.]

Jn 13:23–25One of His disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining close beside Jesus. 24Simon Peter motioned to him to find out who it was He was talking about. 25So he leaned back against Jesus and asked Him, “Lord, who is it?”

Mk 14:20–21He said to them, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping bread with Me in the bowl [Jn 13:26aHe’s the one I give the piece of bread to after I have dipped it]. 21For the Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”

Jn 13:26b–27When He had dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son. 27After Judas ate the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Therefore Jesus told him, “What you’re doing, do quickly.”

28None of those reclining at the table knew why He told him this. 29Since Judas kept the money bag, some thought that Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the festival,” or that he should give something to the poor.

Mt 26:25aThen Judas, His betrayer, replied, “Surely not I, Rabbi?

25b“You have said it yourself,” He told him.

Jn 13:30After receiving the piece of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night.[1]

Jesus Institutes the Memorial Supper

Matthew 26:26–30; Mark 14:22–26; Luke 22:14–20

Lk 22:14–15When the hour came, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him. 15Then He said to them, “I have fervently desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.” Mk 14:22As they were eating, He took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body Lk 22:19bwhich is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.”

Mk 14:23aThen he took a cup [Lk 22:20aIn the same way He also took the cup after supper], and after giving thanks, He gave it to them. Mk 14:23bSo they all drank from it. Mk 14:24He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is shed for many Mt 26:28bfor the forgiveness of sins. Mk 14:25I assure you: I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God [Mt 26:29bdrink it new in my Father’s kingdom with you].”[1]

Jesus Teaches about True Greatness

Luke 22:24–30

24Then a dispute also arose among them about who should be considered the greatest. 25But He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles dominate them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘Benefactors.’ 26But it must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and whoever leads, like the one serving. 27For who is greater, the one at the table or the one serving? Isn’t it the one at the table? But I am among you as the One who serves.

28“You are the ones who stood by Me in My trials. 29I grant you a kingdom, just as My Father granted one to Me, 30so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom. And you will sit on thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel.”[1]
