Luke 22:7–23

Jesus’ Final Passover with the Disciples

⁷And the day of the feast of Unleavened Bread came, on which it was necessary for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed. ⁸And he sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and^* prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.^{* 9}So they said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”^{* 10}And he said to them, “Behold, when^* you have entered into the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters. ¹¹And you will say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?” ’ ¹²And he will show you a large furnished^a upstairs room. Make preparations there.” ¹³So they went and^* found everything^* just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

The Lord’s Supper

¹⁴And when the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him. ¹⁵And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired^b to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. ¹⁶For I tell you that I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” ¹⁷And he took in hand a cup, and^* after^* giving thanks he said, “Take this and share it^* among yourselves. ¹⁸For I tell you,^c from now on I will not drink of the product of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

¹⁹And he took bread, and^* after^* giving thanks, he broke it^* and gave it^* to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” ²⁰And in the same way the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood which is poured out for you.

²¹“But behold, the hand of the one who is betraying me is with me on the table! ²²For the Son of Man is going according to what has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!” ²³And they began to debate with one another who then of them it could be who was going to do this.
