11and you will say to the owner of the house ‘The teacher says to you — Where is the room where I am to eat the Passover with my disciples?’
12The man will show you a large upstairs room, set out; there make preparations.”
13So Peter and John went on, and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
14When the time came, Jesus took his place at the table, and the apostles with him.
15“I have most earnestly wished,” he said, “to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
16For I tell you that I will not eat it again, until it has had its fulfilment in the kingdom of God.”
17Then, on receiving a cup, after saying the thanksgiving, he said, “Take this and share it amongst you.
18For I tell you that I will not, after today, drink of the juice of the grape, until the kingdom of God has come.”
19Then Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke it and gave to them, with the words, “This is my body.
21 Yet see! The hand of the man who is betraying me is beside me on the table!
22True, the Son of Man is passing, by the way ordained for him, yet alas for that man by whom he is being betrayed!”
23Then they began questioning one another which of them it could be who was going to do this.
24And a dispute arose amongst them as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
25Jesus, however, said, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their oppressors are styled ‘Benefactors.’
26But with you it must not be so. No, let the greatest amongst you become like the youngest, and him who leads like him who serves.
27Which is the greater — the master at the table or his servant? Is not it the master at the table? Yet I myself am amongst you as one who serves.
28You are the men who have stood by me in my trials;
29and, just as my Father has assigned me a kingdom, I assign you places,
30so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated on twelve thrones as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.
31Simon! Simon! listen. Satan demanded leave to sift you all like wheat,
32but I prayed for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. And you, when you have returned to me, are to strengthen the others.”
