SCRIPTURE

"and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me." — Matthew 26:21 (ASV)

And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

This saying of our Lord must have startled his disciples; they had all made great professions of affection for him, and for the most part those professions were true; but this sentence must have fallen like a bombshell among them: One of you shall betray me.
