On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the other disciples and I came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”  He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” So the other disciples and I did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. Now it is evening, and Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. And while we were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.” Food and drinks were spat all over the table as well on each other. All of us started yelling, ‘Surely you don’t mean me Lord!’  Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.” Everyone was panicking and afraid that they might be the one who betray Jesus. But then Jesus said,  Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.” Then finally, Judas said, ‘Surely you don’t mean me Lord?’  Jesus answered, “You have said so.” None of us knew what was going on since we were all rambling about who was the traitor. After we settled down, we started eating our Passover meal. While we were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to us, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” After our meal, we sung a hymn and then we were on our way to the Mount of Olives.
