12 On the first day of unleavened bread (the day when the paschal lamb was sacrificed) his disciples said to him, "Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the passover?"
13 So he despatched two of his disciples, telling them, "Go into the city and you will meet a man carrying a water-jar; follow him,
14 and whatever house he goes into, tell the owner that the Teacher says, 'Where is my room, that I may eat the passover there with my disciples?'
15 He will show you a large room upstairs, with couches spread, all ready; prepare the passover for us there."
16 The disciples went away into the city and found it was as he had told them. So they prepared the passover,
17 and when evening fell he arrived along with the twelve.
18 As they were at table eating, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me, one who is eating with me."
19 They got distressed at this, and said to him one after another, "Surely it is not me?" "Surely it is not me?"
20 "One of the twelve," he told them, "one who is dipping into the same dish as I am.
21 The Son of man goes the road that the scripture has described for him, but woe to the man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! Better that man had never been born!"
22 And as they were eating he took a loaf, and after the blessing he broke and gave it to them, saying, "Take this, it means my body."
23 He also took a cup and after thanking God he gave it to them, and they all drank of it;
24 he said to them, "This means my covenant-blood which is shed for many;
25 truly I tell you, I will never drink the produce of the vine again till the day I drink it new within the Realm of God."
