Luke 22:14-23

14When it was time to eat the meal, Jesus arrived. He sat down with his apostles to eat it.

15He said to them, ‘I have wanted very much to eat this Passover meal with you. It has to happen before I die.

16I tell you this: I will not eat another Passover meal in this world. Now it is a picture. But when God begins to rule in his kingdom, then this meal will become real. I will eat it again then.’

17Then Jesus took a cup and he thanked God for the wine. ‘Take this cup,’ he said to them. ‘Each of you drink some wine from it.

18I tell you this. I will not drink wine again until God begins to rule in his kingdom.’

19Then he took a loaf of bread and he thanked God for it. He broke the bread into pieces and he gave some of it to each of them. He said, ‘This is my body. I am giving it to save you. When you eat this meal from now on, remember me.’

20After supper, Jesus took a cup of wine and did the same thing. He said to the disciples, ‘This cup shows the new promise that God makes because of my death. When I die, my blood will pour out of my body. I will do that for you.

21But look! The person who will give me to the rulers is sitting at the table with me. He is eating the same food as I am.

22The Son of Man must die in the way that God says. But it will be very bad for the man who gives me to my enemies.’

23The 12 apostles asked each other, ‘Who is the man that would do this thing?’
