Zephaniah

¹ I assure you and most solemnly say to you, wherever this gospel [of salvation] is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her [for her act of love and devotion]."

² Then one of the twelve [disciples], who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

³ and said, "What are you willing to give me if I hand Jesus over to you?" And they weighed out[7] thirty pieces of silver.

⁴ And from that moment Judas began looking for an opportune time to betray Jesus.

⁵ Now on the first day of[8] Unleavened Bread (Passover Week) the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?"

⁶ He said, "Go into the city to[9] a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, "My time [to suffer and atone for sin] is near; I am to keep the Passover at your house with My disciples."'"

⁷ [Accordingly] the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover.

⁸ When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.

⁹ And as they were eating, He said, "I assure you and most solemnly say to you that one of you will betray Me."

¹⁰ Being deeply grieved and extremely distressed, each one of them began to say to Him, "Surely not I, Lord?"

¹¹ Jesus answered, "He who has dipped his hand in the bowl with Me [as a[10]pretense of friendship] will betray Me.

¹² The Son of Man is to go [to the cross], just as it is written [in Scripture] of Him; but woe (judgment is coming) to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born."

¹³ And Judas, the betrayer, said, "Surely it is not I, Rabbi?" Jesus said to him, "[11] You have said it yourself."

¹⁴ Now as they were eating Jesus took bread, and after[12] blessing it, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."

¹⁵ And when He had taken a cup and[13] given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you;

¹⁶ for this is My blood of the [new and better] covenant, which [ratifies the agreement and] is being poured out for many [as a[14]substitutionary atonement] for the forgiveness of sins.

¹⁷ But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."

¹⁸ After singing a[15] hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

¹⁹ Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of Me this night [disillusioned about Me, confused, and some even ashamed of Me], for it is written [in the Scriptures], 'I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'
