Luke 22:7-13

Contemporary English Version

Jesus Eats with His Disciples

(Matthew 26.17-25; Mark 14.12-21; John 13.21-30)

⁷ The day had come for the Festival of Thin Bread, and it was time to kill the Passover lambs. ⁸ So Jesus said to Peter and John, “Go and prepare the Passover meal for us to eat.”

⁹ But they asked, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”

¹⁰ Jesus told them, “As you go into the city, you will meet a man carrying a jar of water.^[a] Follow him into the house ¹¹ and say to the owner, ‘Our teacher wants to know where he can eat the Passover meal with his disciples.’ ¹² The owner will take you upstairs and show you a large room ready for you to use. Prepare the meal there.”

¹³ Peter and John left. They found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal.
