* Then came the day of Unleavened Bread , on which the paschal lamb must be sacrificed . * So Jesus went to Peter and Johnsaying , "Go and prepare for us the Passover , that we may eat it ." * "Where shall we get it ready ?" they asked . * He answered . "No sooner will you have entered the city than you will meet a man carrying a water-jug . Follow him into the house were he is going . * "And to the good man of the house say , The teacher asks you , "Where is the room in which I can eat the Passover with my disciples ?" * "Then he will show you a large upper room furnished . There make your preparations ." * So they went and found everything as he had told them , they prepared the Passover . * And when the hour was come he sat down , and the twelve apostles with him , * and he said to them . "With desire have I longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer . * For I tell you that I certainly will not eat again until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God ." * Then he had received a cup and given thanks , he said , * "Take this , and divide it among yourselves ; for I tell you that I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God is come ." * And he took a loaf , and after giving thanks , he broke it and gave it to them saying . "This is my body , which is given for you ; this do in remembrance of me . * He gave them a cup in like manner , after supper saying . "This cup is the new covenant in my blood , poured out for your sake . * "But behold , the hand of my betrayer is at the table with me ! * "The Son of man indeed goes on his way , as it has been determined ; but woe to that man by who he is betrayed ." * And they began to question among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do such a thing . * And there arose also a dispute among them as to which of them could be considered the greatest , * and he said to them . "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them , and those who have who have authority over them are called Benefactors . * "But you shall not be so . But he who is greater among you let him become like the younger ; and he who is leader like him who serves . * "For which is greater , he who sits at table , or he who serves ? Is it not he who sits at table ? But I am in your midst as one who serves . * "You , however , are those who have stood by me in my trials . * "And I promise you a kingdom , even as my Father has promised me a kingdom ; * "so that you shall eat and drink in my kingdom , and you shall sit on thrones , judging the twelve tribes of Israel . * "Simon , Simon ," said the Lord , "behold , Satan has asked to have you all that he might sift you like wheat . * "But I made supplication for you that your own faith may not fail . And you , when you have turned again , must strengthen your brothers ." * "Lord ," Simon said to him , "I am ready to go with you , both to prison and to death ." * "I tell you , Peter ," he answered . "the cock will not crow this day until you will three times deny that you know me ." * Moreover , he said to them , "When I sent you out without purse or wallet or sandals , did you lack anything ?" They answered him , "We lacked nothing . * Then he said to them . "But now let him who has a purse take it , and he who has a wallet , let him the do the same . And he who has no sword , let him sell his cloak and buy one . * "For I say to you that this word of Scripture must find its fulfilment in me . "And he was numbered among the transgressors , For that which concerns me has its accomplishment ." * "Master " they said , "here are two swords !" "That is enough ," he answered .
