| This is my body; this is my blood |

On
the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was
sacrificed, his disciples said to
Jesus, ‘Where do you want us to go and
make the preparations for you to eat the passover?’ So he sent two of
his disciples, saying to them, ‘Go into the city and you will meet a man
carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him, and say to the owner of the
house which he enters, “The Master says: Where is my dining room in
which I can eat the passover with my disciples?” He will show you a
large upper room furnished with couches, all prepared. Make the
preparations for us there.’ The disciples set out and went to the city
and found everything as he had told them, and prepared the Passover.
And as they were eating he took some bread, and when
he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to them. ‘Take it,’ he
said ‘this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, and when he had returned
thanks he gave it to them, and all drank from it, and he said to them,
‘This is my blood, the blood of the covenant, which is to be poured out
for many. I tell you solemnly, I shall not drink any more wine until the
day I drink the new wine in the kingdom of God.’
After psalms had been sung they left for the Mount of Olives.
