Mark 14:12-16, 22-26 (Revised
Standard Version – Catholic Edition)
On the
first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the passover lamb, his
disciples said to him, "Where will you have us go and prepare for you to
eat the passover?" And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them,
"Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow
him, and wherever he enters, say to the householder, 'The Teacher says, Where
is my guest room, where I am to eat the passover with my disciples?' And he
will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for
us." And the disciples set out and went to the city, and found it as he
had told them; and they prepared the passover. And as they were eating, he took
bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take;
this is my body." And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave
it to them, and they all drank of it.
And he said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is
poured out for many. Truly, I say to you, I shall not drink again of the fruit
of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God." And
when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
