Luke 22:7-18

Preparing the Passover

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

8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

9 “Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.

10 He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,

11 and say to the owner of that house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’

12 And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”

13 So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.

The Last Supper

14 When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles. ²

15 And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.

16 For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17 After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.

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