Follow him. Wherever he shall go in, say to the good man of the house,
The Master wants to know where the guestchamber is where He shall eat
the passover with His disciples. This man will show you a large upper
room that is furnished and prepared. Make ready for us there.
The two disciples went into the city and found all as Jesus had said to
them. They made ready the passover. In the evening Jesus came with the
disciples. As they sat and ate, Jesus said, One of you who eats with me
shall betray me. They began to be sorrowful, and, one by one, ask Him,
Is it I? Is it I?
Jesus answered, It is one of the twelve that dips with me in the dish.
The Son of man indeed goes as it is written of Him: But woe to that man
by whom the Son of man is betrayed! Better were it for that man if he
had never been born.
As they ate, Jesus took bread and blessed it. He broke it and gave it
to them. He said, Take and eat. This is my body. Then He took the cup
and, when He had given thanks, He gave it to them. They all drank from
it. And He said to them, This is my blood of the new testament, which
is shed for many. I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until
that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.
After they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
Jesus said, Ye shall all be offended because of me this night for it is
written: I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.
