The Lord's Supper
Now on the first day
of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him,
"Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
He said, "Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, 'The
Teacher says, "My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your
house with my disciples."'"
The disciples did as
Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover. Now when evening had come, he
was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples. As they were eating, he said,
"Most certainly I tell you that one of you will
betray me."
They were exceedingly
sorrowful, and each began to ask him, "It isn't me, is it, Lord?"
He answered, "He who dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same will
betray me. The Son of
Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom
the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not
been born."
Judas, who betrayed
him, answered, "It isn't me, is it, Rabbi?"
He said to him, "You said it."
As they were eating,
Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He
gave to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is
my body." He
took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, "All of you drink it, for this is my blood of the new
covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins. But I tell you that I will not
drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink
it anew with you in my Father's Kingdom." When they had sung a hymn, they
went out to the Mount of Olives.
