Mark 14:12–21

The Passover is Prepared

Matt. 26:17–19; Luke 22:7–13

^12jNow on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they ⁴killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?”

¹³And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him. ¹⁴Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’ ¹⁵Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us.”

¹⁶So His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover.

The Passover is Celebrated

Matt. 26:20–25; Luke 22:14–16; John 13:21–30

^17kIn the evening He came with the twelve. ¹⁸Now as they sat and ate, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, ^lone of you who eats with Me will betray Me.”

¹⁹And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one by one, “Is it I?” ⁵And another said, “Is it I?”

²⁰He answered and said to them, “It is one of the twelve, who dips with Me in the dish. ^21mThe Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born.”
