Luke 22:5-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. And they were glad, and so they made an agreement to give him money.

6. And he made a promise. And he was seeking an opportunity to hand him over, apart from the crowds.

7. Then the day of Unleavened Bread arrived, on which it was necessary to kill the Pascal lamb.

8. And he sent Peter and John, saying, "Go out, and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat."

9. But they said, "Where do you want us to prepare it?"

10. And 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.

11. And 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?'

12. And he will show you a large cenacle, fully furnished. And so, prepare it there."

13. And going out, they found it to be just as he had told them. And they prepared the Passover.

14. And when the hour had arrived, he sat down at table, and the twelve Apostles with him.

15. And he said to them: "With longing have I desired to eat this Passover with you, before I suffer.

16. For I say to you, that from this time, I will not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."

17. And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and he said: "Take this and share it among yourselves.

18. For I say to you, that I will not drink from the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God arrives."

19. And 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."
