last supper

²³For I have received from the Lord what I have also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus, on the same night that he was handed over, took bread, ²⁴and giving thanks, he broke it, and said: “Take and eat. This is my body, which shall be given up for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” ²⁵Similarly also, the cup, after he had eaten supper, saying: “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” ²⁶For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord, until he returns.

¹Before the feast day of the Passover, Jesus knew that the hour was approaching when he would pass from this world to the Father. And since he had always loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end. ²And when the meal had taken place, when the devil had now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him, ³knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands and that he came from God and was going to God, ⁴he rose up from the meal, and he set aside his vestments, and when he had received a towel, he wrapped it around himself. ⁵Next he put water into a shallow bowl, and he began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which he was wrapped. ⁶And then he came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to him, “Lord, would you wash my feet?”

²⁶Now while they were eating the meal, Jesus took bread, and he blessed and broke and gave it to his disciples, and he said: “Take and eat. This is my body.” ²⁷And taking the chalice, he gave thanks. And he gave it to them, saying: “Drink from this, all of you. ²⁸For this is my blood of the new covenant, which shall be shed for many as a remission of sins. ²⁹But I say to you, I will not drink again from this fruit of the vine, until that day when I will drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.”

¹⁷Then, on the first day of Unleavened Bread, the disciples approached Jesus, saying, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?” ¹⁸So Jesus said, “Go into the city, to a certain one, and say to him: ‘The Teacher said: My time is near. I am observing the Passover with you, along with my disciples.’ ” ¹⁹And the disciples did just as Jesus appointed to them. And they prepared the Passover. ²⁰Then, when evening arrived, he sat at table with his twelve disciples. ²¹And while they were eating, he said: “Amen I say to you, that one of you is about to betray me.” ²²And being greatly saddened, each one of them began to say, “Surely, it is not I, Lord?”

²²And while eating with them, Jesus took bread. And blessing it, he broke it and gave it to them, and he said: “Take. This is my body.” ²³And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank from it. ²⁴And he said to them: “This is my blood of the new covenant, which shall be shed for many. ²⁵Amen I say to you, that I will no longer drink from this fruit of the vine, until that day when I will drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

¹²And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they immolate the Passover, the disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?” ¹³And he sent two of his disciples, and he said to them: “Go into the city. And you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water; follow him. ¹⁴And wherever he will have entered, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says: Where is my dining room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ ¹⁵And he will show you a large cenacle, fully furnished. And there, you shall prepare it for us.” ¹⁶And his disciples departed and went into the city. And they found it just as he had told them. And they prepared the Passover. ¹⁷Then, when evening came, he arrived with the twelve.

⁷Then the day of Unleavened Bread arrived, on which it was necessary to kill the Pascal lamb. ⁸And he sent Peter and John, saying, “Go out, and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat.” ⁹But they said, “Where do you want us to prepare it?” ¹⁰And he said to them: “Behold, as you are entering into the city, a certain man will meet you, carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him to the house into which he enters. ¹¹And you shall say to the father of the household: ‘The Teacher says to you: Where is the guestroom, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ ¹²And he will show you a large cenacle, fully furnished. And so, prepare it there.”

¹⁴And when the hour had arrived, he sat down at table, and the twelve Apostles with him. ¹⁵And he said to them: “With longing have I desired to eat this Passover with you, before I suffer. ¹⁶For I say to you, that from this time, I will not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” ¹⁷And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and he said: “Take this and share it among yourselves. ¹⁸For I say to you, that I will not drink from the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God arrives.” ¹⁹And taking bread, he gave thanks and broke it and gave it to them, saying: “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this as a commemoration of me.”

¹⁹And taking bread, he gave thanks and broke it and gave it to them, saying: “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this as a commemoration of me.” ²⁰Similarly also, he took the chalice, after he had eaten the meal, saying: “This chalice is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you. ²¹But in truth, behold, the hand of my betrayer is with me at table.
