Luke 22:7-18

7Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread arrived, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed.

8Jesus sent Peter and John ahead and said, “Go and prepare the Passover meal, so we can eat it together.”

9“Where do you want us to prepare it?” they asked him.

10He replied, “As soon as you enter Jerusalem, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him. At the house he enters,

11say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?’

12He will take you upstairs to a large room that is already set up. That is where you should prepare our meal.”

13They went off to the city and found everything just as Jesus had said, and they prepared the Passover meal there.

14When the time came, Jesus and the apostles sat down together at the table.

15Jesus said, “I have been very eager to eat this Passover meal with you before my suffering begins.

16For I tell you now that I won’t eat this meal again until its meaning is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”

17Then he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. Then he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves.

18For I will not drink wine again until the Kingdom of God has come.”
