Luke 22:7-16 ▼

7 Then the day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.

8 So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, |Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover meal.|

9 They asked him, |Where do you want us to prepare it?|

10 He told them, |Just after you go into the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him into the house he enters

11 and say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks you, |Where is the room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?|'

12 Then he will show you a large upstairs room that is furnished. Get things ready for us there.|

13 So they went and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal.

14 Now when the hour came, Jesus took his place at the table, along with his apostles.

15 He told them, |I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover meal with you before I suffer,

16 because I tell all of you, I will never eat it again until it finds its fulfillment in the kingdom of God.|
