They said to him where do you wish us to prepare? He said to them go to the city
of Jerusalem. When you enter the city you will see a certain man carry a water
skin full of water follow him. Wherever he enters say to the owner of the house
my time has come where is the guest chamber that I may observe the Passover
with my disciples. He will show you an upper room large furnished and prepared
there make ready. Peter and John went out and came to the city and they found
just as he said they would. So they made ready.

The Passover

When the time came that evening Jesus came with his twelve apostles and
followers and they gathered in the upper room. While they were reclining he said
to them I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. While they
were eating Jesus took the bread and gave thanks and blessed it. Then he broke
it and gave to the apostles to distribute among the followers. He said take and
eat. This is my body which is given for your sake this do in remembrance of me.
Then he took the cup and gave thanks and blessed it and gave to them and said

Now there was one of his disciples who were leaning on his bosom the one

apostle leaned himself on the breast of Jesus and said to him my Lord who is
he? Jesus answered and said the one who I dip bread and give to him. So Jesus
dipped the bread and gave it to Judas of Iscariot. Jesus said to him what you are
going to do, do it soon. Judas received the bread and went outside straightway.
He went to the High Priests. It was night when he went out.
Then Jesus said the Son of man will go as it is written of him but woe to the man
by whose hand the Son of man is betrayed. It would have been far better for that

into his hand and that he came from God and was going to God. Rose up from
supper and laid aside his robe; he took a cloth and tied it around his loins. Then
he poured water into a basin and began to wash the feet of each of his apostles
and to wipe them with the cloth which was tied around his loins. When he came
