*Tell the Story: The Lords Supper: Luke 22:7-20
(ESV Bible) Luke 22:7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be
sacrificed. 8 So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it.
9 They said to him, Where will you have us prepare it? 10 He said to them, Behold, when you have entered
the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters 11 and tell the
master of the house, The Teacher says to you, where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my
disciples? 12 And he will show you a large upper room furnished; prepare it there. 13 And they went and
found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. 14 And when the hour came, he reclined at
table, and the apostles with him. 15 And he said to them, I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with
you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he took a
cup, and when he had given thanks he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves. 18 For I tell you that
from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes. 19 And he took bread,
and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which is given for
you. Do this in remembrance of me. 20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, This cup that is
poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.
(The Message Bible) Luke: [22.7-8] The Day of Unleavened Bread came, the day the Passover lamb was
butchered. Jesus sent Peter and John off, saying, Go prepare the Passover for us so we can eat it together.
*22.9+ They said, Where do you want us to do this? [22.10-12+ He said, Keep your eyes open as you enter
the city. A man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him home. Then speak with the owner of the
house: The Teacher wants to know, Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my
disciples? He will show you a spacious second-story room, swept and ready. Prepare the meal there.

[22.13] They left found everything just as he told them, and prepared the Passover meal. [22.14-16] When it
was time, he sat down, all the apostles with him, and said, Youve no idea how much I have looked forward to
eating this Passover meal with you before I enter my time of suffering. Its the last one Ill eat until we all eat it
together in the kingdom of God. *22.17-18+ Taking the cup, he blessed it, then said, Take this and pass it
among you. As for me, Ill not drink wine again until the kingdom of God arrives. [22.19] Taking bread, he
blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, given for you. Eat it in my memory. [22.20]
He did the same with the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant written in my blood, blood
poured out for you.
