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.^* ⁹So they said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”^* ¹⁰And 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.

A Dispute About Who Is Greatest

²⁴And a dispute also occurred among them as to which of them was recognized as being greatest. ²⁵So he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles^d lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called benefactors. ²⁶But you are not to be like this! But the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves. ²⁷For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am in your midst as the one who serves.

²⁸“And you are the ones who have remained^e with me in my trials, ²⁹and I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred on me, ³⁰that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

³¹“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to sift you like wheat, ³²but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail. And you, when^* once you have turned back,^f strengthen your brothers.” ³³But he said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!” ³⁴And he said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know me!”

The Two Swords

³⁵And he said to them, “When I sent you out without a money bag and a traveler’s bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?”^* And they said, “Nothing.” ³⁶And he said to them, “But now the one who has a money bag must take it,^* and likewise a traveler’s bag. And the one who does not have a sword must sell his cloak and buy one. ³⁷For I tell you that this that is written must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was counted with the criminals.’^g For indeed, what is written^* about me is being fulfilled.”^h ³⁸So they said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords!” And he said to them, “It is adequate.”
