Matthew 26:22

Jesus
Grief

20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.

21 And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”

23 Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me.

24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed. It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
