* And the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread , the day for killing the paschal lamb , his disciples asked him , "Where do you want us to go and make preparation for you to eat the Passover ?" * Then he sent two of his disciples , and told them . "Go into the city , and you will meet a man carrying a jar of water . * Follow him ; and whatever house he enters , say to the master of the house , The Teacher asks , "Where is your guest-chamber , where I may eat the Passover with my disciples ?" * He will himself show you a large , upper room , furnished and ready . there make preparation for us ." * So the disciples went off , and came into the city , and found everything as he had told them . * So they made ready the Passover , and as night fell he came , with the Twelve . * While they were at the table , eating , Jesus said solemnly . "It is one of you who will betray me - one who is eating with me ." * They began to be sorrowful and to say to him , one after another , "Surely , not I ?" * "It is one of the Twelve ," said Jesus , "one who is dipping into the same dish with me . * For the Son of man is going his way , as the Scripture says , but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed ! It were good for that man if he had never been born ." * And as they were eating he took bread , and after the blessing , broke it , and gave it to them , saying , "Take it , this is my body ." * Then he took a cup , and when he had given thanks , he gave it to them , and they all drank of it , * and he said . "This is my covenant blood , which is poured out for many . * Solemnly I tell you I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine , until that day I drink it new in the kingdom of God ." * Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives . * And Jesus said to them . "All of you are about to stumble , for it is written , "I will smite the shepherd , and the sheep shall be scattered abroad . * "But after my resurrection I will go before you into Galilee ." * "Although they all stumble and fall , yet will not I ," answered Peter . * Jesus said to him , "I tell you in solemn truth that you yourself , today on this very night , before the cock crow twice , shall three times disown me ." * But Peter kept protesting passionately , "Though I must die with you , I will not disown you !" And they all kept saying the same .
