The Lord’s Supper is described in all four Gospels: “Now when the even was come, He sat down with the twelve. And as they did eat, He said, ‘Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray Me.’ And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, ‘Lord, is it I?’ And He answered and said, ‘He that dippeth his hand with Me in the dish, the same shall betray me. The Son of Man goeth as it is written of Him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.’ Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, ‘Master, is it I?’ He said unto him, ‘Thou hast said’” (Matthew 26:20–25).
