Matthew 26:18
So that the betrayer might not hand him over to his killers “before the feast of the Passover,” the Savior disclosed neither the house nor the man with whom he fulfilled the Passover.
Greek
Ἐπειδὴ τοὺς καινὰ δόγματα διδάσκοντας ὡς ἐπίπαν ἰδεῖν ἔστι κενοδοξίας καὶ ἀλαζονείας ἔρωτι εἰς τὸ τῆς διδασκαλίας ἀξίωμα παρα γενομένους, ἀναιρεῖ ὁ κύριος ταύτην τὴν ὑπόνοιαν καὶ τὴν ὁδὸν ἐκκό πτει ὡς ἐπ' ὄλεθρον ἄγουσαν. εἰ τοίνυν, φησίν, δόξης τε καὶ πρωτείων ἐρᾷς, τὴν τῶν διακόνων καὶ ὑστέρων τάξιν ἐπιζήτει καὶ ταπεινοφροσύνην ἄσκει.
