7. Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover
must be killed.
8. And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the
passover, that we may eat.
9. And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
10. And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the
city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of
water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11. And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master
saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall
eat the passover with my disciples?
12. And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there
make ready.
13. And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they
made ready the passover.
14. And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve
apostles with him.
15. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat
this passover with you before I suffer:
16. For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until
it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this,
and divide it among yourselves:
18. For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the
vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19. And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave
unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you:
this do in remembrance of me.
20. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the
new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
21. But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on
the table.
22. And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but
woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
23. And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it
was that should do this thing.
24. And there was also a strife among them, which of them should
be accounted the greatest.
25. And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise
lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon
them are called benefactors.
26. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you,
let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that
doth serve.
27. For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that
serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you
as he that serveth.
28. Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
29. And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath
appointed unto me;
30. That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit
on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
