Luke 22:7-23

7Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover must be killed.

8And He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”

9So they said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare?”

10And He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house which he enters.

11Then you shall say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’

12Then he will show you a large, furnished upper room; there make ready.”

13So they went and found it just as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

14When the hour had come, He sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him.

15Then He said to them, “With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;

16for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves;

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

19And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

20Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.

21But behold, the hand of My betrayer is with Me on the table.

22And truly the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”

23Then they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.
