Luke 22:7-20

7Then came the preparation day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

8So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover meal for us, so that we may eat it.”

9They asked Him, “Where do You want us to prepare it?”

10He replied, “When you have entered the city, a man carrying an earthen jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house that he enters.

11And say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’

12Then he will show you a large upstairs room, furnished [with carpets and dining couches]; prepare the meal there.”

13They left and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

14When the hour [for the meal] had come, Jesus reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him.

15He said to them, “I have earnestly wanted to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;

16for I say to you, I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves;

18for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”

19And when He had taken bread and given 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 He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup, which is poured out for you, is the new covenant [ratified] in My blood.
