Luke 22:7-18

The Passover with the Disciples

7 ¹Then came ²the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

8 So Jesus^[a] sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it."

9 They said to him, "Where will you have us prepare it?"

10 He said to them, "Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters

11 and tell the master of the house, ³'The Teacher says to you, Where is ⁴the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'

12 And he will show you ⁵a large upper room furnished; prepare it there."

13 And they went and found it ⁶just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

Institution of the Lord's Supper

14 ⁷And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him.

15 And he said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

16 For I tell you I will not eat it^[b]8 until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."

17 And he took a cup, and ⁹when he had given thanks he said, "Take this, and divide it among yourselves.

18 ¹⁰For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine ¹¹until the kingdom of God comes."
