Luke 22:5-33

⁵And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

⁶And he promised. And he sought opportunity to betray him in the absence of the multitude.

⁷And the day of the unleavened bread came, on which it was necessary that the pasch should be killed.

⁸And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, and prepare for us the pasch, that we may eat.

⁹But they said: Where wilt thou that we prepare?

¹⁰And he said to them: Behold, as you go into the city, there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him into the house where he entereth in.

¹¹And you shall say to the goodman of the house: The master saith to thee, Where is the guest chamber, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples?

¹²And he will shew you a large dining room, furnished; and there prepare.

¹³And they going, found as he had said to them, and made ready the pasch.

¹⁴And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

¹⁵And he said to them: With desire I have desired to eat this pasch with you, before I suffer.

¹⁶For I say to you, that from this time I will not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and said: Take, and divide it among you:

¹⁸For I say to you, that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, till the kingdom of God come.

¹⁹And taking bread, he gave thanks, and brake; and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me.

²⁰In like manner the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.

²¹But yet behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

²²And the Son of man indeed goeth, according to that which is determined: but yet, woe to that man by whom he shall be betrayed.

²³And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

²⁴And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should seem to be the greater.

²⁵And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them, are called beneficent.

²⁶But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is the leader, as he that serveth.

²⁷For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth:

²⁸And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations:

²⁹And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom;

³⁰That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

³²But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.

³³Who said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
