They said, ‘We will go and prepare everything for the Passover Feast. Where do you want to eat the feast?’ Jesus sent two of his followers and said to them, ‘Go into the city. A man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. He will go into a house. Tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks that you show us the room where he and his followers can eat the Passover Feast.’ The owner will show you a large room upstairs. This room is ready. Prepare the food for us there. So the followers left and went into the city. Everything happened as Jesus had said. So they prepared the Passover Feast.”

Am I?” Jesus answered, ‘The man who has dipped his hand with me into the bowl is the one who will turn against me. The Son of Man will die. The Scriptures say this will happen.

Am I?’ Jesus answered, ‘Yes, it is you.’
