*
Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus ,
saying , "
Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the passover ?"
*
He said , "
Go into the city to a certain one ,
and say to him , `
The Teacher says ,
My time is at hand ;
I will keep the passover at your house with my disciples .'"
*
And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them ,
and they prepared the passover .
*
When it was evening ,
he sat at table with the twelve disciples ;
*
and as they were eating ,
he said , "
Truly ,
I say to you ,
one of you will betray me ."
*
And they were very sorrowful ,
and began to say to him one after another , "
Is it I ,
Lord ?"
*
He answered , "
He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me ,
will betray me .
*
The Son of man goes as it is written of him ,
but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed !
It would have been better for that man if he had not been born ."
*
Judas ,
who betrayed him ,
said , "
Is it I ,
Master ?"
He said to him , "
You have said so ."
*
Now as they were eating ,
Jesus took bread ,
and blessed ,
and broke it ,
and gave it to the disciples and said , "
Take ,
eat ;
this is my body ."
*
And he took a cup ,
and when he had given thanks he gave it to them ,
saying , "
Drink of it ,
all of you ;
*
for this is my blood of the covenant ,
which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins .
*
I tell you I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father '
s kingdom ."
*
And when they had sung a hymn ,
they went out to the Mount of Olives .
