9. They said to Him, Where do You want us to prepare [it]?
10. He said to them, Behold, when you have gone into the city, a man carrying an earthen jug or pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters,
11. And say to the master of the house, The Teacher asks you, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover [meal] with My disciples?
12. And he will show you a large room upstairs, furnished [with carpets and with couches properly spread]; there make [your] preparations.
13. And they went and found it [just] as He had said to them; and they made ready the Passover [supper].
14. And when the hour came, [Jesus] reclined at table, and the apostles with Him.
15. And He said to them, I have earnestly and intensely desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;
16. For I say to you, I shall eat it no more until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17. And He took a cup, and when He had given thanks, He said, Take this and divide and distribute it among yourselves;
18. For I say to you that from now on I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine at all until the kingdom of God comes.
19. Then He took a loaf [of bread], and when He had given thanks, He broke [it] and gave it to them saying, This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.
20. And in like manner, He took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament or covenant [ratified] in My blood, which is shed (poured out) for you.
21. But, behold, the hand of him who is now engaged in betraying Me is with Me on the table. [Ps. 41:9.]
