On the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to
Jesus and asked, Where shall we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
Jesus told them to go into the city to a certain man and tell him that
the Master says His time is at hand and that He will keep the passover
there with His disciples. Then the disciples did as Jesus told them and
they prepared the passover.
When it was evening, Jesus sat down with the twelve. While they ate, He
said, Verily, I say unto you, one of you will betray me. The disciples
heard this with great sorrow. They uttered, Lord, is it me? Jesus only
said, He who dips his hand in the dish with me will betray me.
It is written: Woe unto the one by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It
had been better for him if he had not been born. Then Judas, who
betrayed Him, asked, Master, is it me? Jesus turned to him and quietly
said, Thou has said right.
While they ate, Jesus took up the bread and blessed it. He then broke
it and gave it to the disciples saying, Take this and eat for this is
my body. Then He took the cup and gave thanks. He passed it to them
saying, Drink ye all from this for this is my blood of the new
testament which is shed for many for the remission of sins. I say unto
you, I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day
when I drink it with you in my Father's kingdom.
