Mark 14:12-18 Common English Bible (CEB)

12. On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was sacrificed, the disciples said to Jesus, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover meal?"

13. He sent two of his disciples and said to them, "Go into the city. A man carrying a water jar will meet you. Follow him.

14. Wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The teacher asks, "Where is my guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?" ’

15. He will show you a large room upstairs already furnished. Prepare for us there."

16. The disciples left, came into the city, found everything just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal.

17. That evening, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.

18. During the meal, Jesus said, "I assure you that one of you will betray me—someone eating with me."
