"For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the
Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he
had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is
broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he
took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my
blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's
death till he come." 1 Cor. 11:23-26

Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. Jesus
sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover."
"Where do you want us to prepare for it?" they asked.
He replied, "As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the
house that he enters, and say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks: Where is the guest
room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?' He will show you a large upper room, all
furnished. Make preparations there."
They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, "I have
eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until
it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God."
After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, "Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will
not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."
And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for
you; do this in remembrance of me."
In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my
blood, which is poured out for you.
