* Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread , the disciples came to Jesus , saying to Him , "Where do You desire [that ] we shall prepare for You to eat the Passover ?" * And He said , "Go into the city to a certain man , and say to him , 'The Teacher says , "My time is near ; at your house I will keep the Passover with My disciples ."' " * So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them ; and they prepared the Passover . * And when it was evening , He was reclining [to eat ] with the twelve . * Now while they were eating , He said , "Assuredly I say to you , that one of you will betray Me ." * And becoming exceedingly sorrowful , each of them began to say to Him , "[Surely ] not I am [the one ], Lord ?" * He answered and said , "He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl will betray Me . * Indeed , the Son of Man goes just as it is written about Him , but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed ! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born ." * Then Judas , the [one ] betraying Him , answered and said , "[Surely ]not I am [the one ], Rabbi ?"He said to him , "You have said [it ]." * And as they were eating , Jesus took the bread , and giving thanks , He broke [it ], and gave [it ] to the disciples and said , "Take , eat ; this is My body ." * Then He took the cup , and gave thanks , and gave [it ] to them , saying , "Drink of it , all [of you ], * for this is My blood of the new covenant , which is shed for many , for the forgiveness of sins . * But I say to you , that I will by no means drink of this fruit of the vine from now [on ,] until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father 's kingdom ." * And having sung hymns , they went out to the Mount of Olives .
