18 And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, a“My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.” ’ ”

22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?”

25 Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?” He said to him, “You have said it.”
