17

Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where are we to make ready for you to take the Passover meal?

18

And he said to them, Go into the town to such a man, and say to him, The Master says, My time is near: I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.

19

And the disciples did as Jesus had said to them and they made ready the Passover.

20

Now when evening was come, he was seated at table with the twelve disciples

21

And while they were taking food, he said, Truly I say to you that one of you will be false to me.

22

And they were very said, and said to him, one by one, Is it I, Lord?

23

And he made answer and said, He who puts his hand into the plate with me, the same will be false to me.

24

The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but a curse is on that man through whom the Son of man is given up it would have been well for that man if he had never come into the world.

25

And Judas, who was false to him, made answer and said, Is it I, Master? He says to him, Yes.

26

And when they were taking food, Jesus took bread and, after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to the disciples and said, Take it this is my body.

27

And he took a cup and, having given praise, he gave it to them, saying,

28

Take of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the testament, which is given for men for the forgiveness of sins.

29

But I say to you that from now I will not take of this fruit of the vine, till that day when I take it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

30

And after a song of praise to God, they went out to the Mountain of Olives.
