Luke 22:7-20

7The day came during the Festival of Unleavened Bread when the Passover lamb had to be killed.

8Jesus sent Peter and John and told them, “Go, prepare the Passover lamb for us to eat.”

9They asked him, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”

10He told them, “Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a jug of water. Follow him into the house he enters.

11Tell the owner of the house that the teacher asks, ‘Where is the room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?’

12He will take you upstairs and show you a large furnished room. Get things ready there.”

13The disciples left. They found everything as Jesus had told them and prepared the Passover.

14When it was time to eat the Passover meal, Jesus and the apostles were at the table.

15Jesus said to them, “I’ve had a deep desire to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

16I can guarantee that I won’t eat it again until it finds its fulfillment in God’s kingdom.”

17Then he took a cup and spoke a prayer of thanksgiving. He said, “Take this, and share it.

18I can guarantee that from now on I won’t drink this wine until God’s kingdom comes.”

19Then Jesus took bread and spoke a prayer of thanksgiving. He broke the bread, gave it to them, and said, “This is my body, which is given up for you. Do this to remember me.”

20When supper was over, he did the same with the cup. He said, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new promise  made with my blood.”
