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 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 it8 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."
19
12And he took bread, and
13when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying,
14"This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
20
And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying,
15"This cup that is poured out for you is 16the new 17covenant in my blood.
21
18But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is 19with me on the table.
22
For the Son of Man goes 20as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!"
23
And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.
