Luke 22:12-20 English Standard Version (ESV)

12. And he will show you a large upper room furnished; prepare it there.”

13. And they went and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

14. And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him.

15. And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

16. For I tell you I will not eat ituntil 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 it among yourselves.

18. For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

19. And he took 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 likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.
