¹⁷Now on the first day^* of the feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came up to Jesus, saying, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?” ¹⁸And he said, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I am celebrating the Passover with you with my disciples.” ’ ¹⁹And the disciples did as Jesus directed them, and they prepared the Passover. ²⁰And when it^* was evening, he was reclining at table with the twelve disciples.^c ²¹And while^* they were eating he said, “Truly I say to you, that one of you will betray me.” ²²And greatly distressed, each one began to say to him, “Surely I am not he, am I,^d Lord?” ²³And he answered and^* said, “The one who dips his^e hand in the bowl with me—this one will betray me. ²⁴The Son of Man is going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if that man had not been born.” ²⁵And Judas, the one who was betraying him, answered and^* said, “Surely I am not he, am I,^f Rabbi?” He said to him, “You have said it.”^*

The Lord’s Supper

²⁶Now while^* they were eating Jesus took bread and, after^* giving thanks, he broke it,^* and giving it^* to the disciples, he said, “Take, eat, this is my body.” ²⁷And after^* taking the cup and giving thanks he gave it^* to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you, ²⁸for this is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. ²⁹But I tell you, from now on I will never drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.”
