NARRATOR 1: On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples said to him —
DISCIPLES: Where do you want us to go and make the preparations for you to eat the Passover?
JESUS: Go into the city. A man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him, and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, “The Teacher asks, ‘Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'” He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.
NARRATOR 1: Two disciples set out and went to the city and found everything as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover meal.
NARRATOR 2: While they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.
JESUS: Take this; this is my body.
NARRATOR 2: Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and all of them drank from it.
JESUS: This is my blood of the covenant, which will be poured out for many. Truly I tell you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
NARRATOR 2: After singing a song of praise, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
