we go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
014:013 So He sent two of His disciples with instructions, saying, "Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him, 014:014 and whatever house he enters, tell the master of the house, `The Rabbi asks, Where is my room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?' 014:015 Then he will himself show you a large room upstairs, ready furnished: there make preparation for us." 014:016 So the disciples went out and came to the city, and found everything just as He had told them; and they got the Passover ready. 014:017 When it was evening, He came with the Twelve. 014:018 And while they were at table Jesus said, "I solemnly tell you that one of you will betray me--one who is eating with me." 014:019 They were filled with sorrow, and began asking Him, one by one, "Not I, is it?" 014:020 "It is one of the Twelve," He replied; "he who is dipping his fingers in the dish with me. 014:021 For the Son of Man is going His way as it is written about Him; but alas for the man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It had been a happy thing for that man, had he never been born." 014:022 Also during the meal He took a Passover biscuit, blessed it, and broke it. He then gave it to them, saying, "Take this, it is my body." 014:023 Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and handed it to them, and they all of them drank from it. 014:024 "This is my blood," He said, "which is to be poured out on behalf of many--the blood which makes the Covenant sure. 014:025 I solemnly tell you that never again will I taste the produce of the vine till I shall drink the new wine in the Kingdom of God." |
