The Last Supper …<br />
Then, on the first day of Unleavened Bread, traditionally the day when the<br />
Passover lamb was to be sacrificed, Jesus called to Peter & John and said, “Go and<br />
prepare the Passover meal for us that we may eat of it.” In return they asked him,<br />
“Where would you like us to make preparations for it?” And he answered, “Go into the<br />
city, where a man carrying a water jar will meet you. Say to him: ‘The Teacher says –<br />
My time is near. I will keep Passover at your house with my disciples.’ Then follow<br />
him, and whatever home he enters, say then to the owner of that house: ‘The Teacher<br />
asks -- Where is my guest room, that I might eat the Passover there with my disciples?’<br />
he will then show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready for us. Make our<br />
preparations there.” So the disciples set out and went into the city as Jesus had directed,<br />
and found everything just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal.<br />
[Matthew 26:17-19, Mark 14:12-16 & Luke 22:7-13]<br />
When it was evening and the hour came, Jesus arrived and took his place at the<br />
table with the twelve, and said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with<br />
you before I suffer; for I tell you, I will not eat until all is fulfilled in the Kingdom of<br />
God.” [Luke 22:14-16]<br />
