Matthew 26:20

Matthew 26:20

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.” ’ ”

19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.

20 ^aWhen evening had come, He sat down with the twelve.

21 Now as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will ^abetray Me.”

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

23 He answered and said, ^a“He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me.

24 The Son of Man indeed goes just ^aas it is written of Him, but ^bwoe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! ^cIt would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

Matthew 26:20 When the even was come. The lamb was slain "between two evenings", that is, between three and five o'clock (see the margin of Exodus 12:6 in the Revised Version). The supper followed on the same night. It was probably dark before the Savior and the twelve came to the guest chamber. The band that "sat down" to this supper and this occasion have furnished the subject of one of the greatest paintings ever created.
