n eat the passover with my disciples? (12)And
he will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
(13)And they going away, found it just as he had told them: and they
made ready the passover. (14)And when the hour was come, he sat down,
and the twelve apostles with him. (15)And he said unto them, With
earnest desire have I longed to eat this passover with you before I
suffer: (16)for I tell you, that I will no more ever eat of it, until
it shall be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. (17)And taking the cup,
after having given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide among
yourselves: (18)for I say unto you, that I shall no more drink of the
fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God come. (19)And taking a
loaf, he gave thanks, and brake, and gave it to them, saying, This is
