BIBLE READINGS
1 Corinthians 11: 23-26
For I received from the Lord the teaching that I passed on to
you: that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took a
piece of bread, gave thanks to God, broke it, and said,
“This is my body, which is for you. Do this in memory of me.”
In the same way, after the supper he took the cup and said,
“This cup is God's new covenant, sealed with my blood.
Whenever you drink it, do so in memory of me.”
This means that every time you eat this bread and drink from
this cup you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
Mark 14: 12-26
On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the day
the lambs for the Passover meal were killed, Jesus' disciples
asked him, “Where do you want us to go and get the Passover
meal ready for you?”
Then Jesus sent two of them with these instructions:
“Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet
you. Follow him to the house he enters, and say to the owner
of the house: ‘The Teacher says, Where is the room where my
disciples and I will eat the Passover meal?’ Then he will show
you a large upstairs room, fixed up and furnished, where you
will get everything ready for us.”
The disciples left, went to the city, and found everything just
as Jesus had told them; and they prepared the Passover meal.
When it was evening, Jesus came with the twelve disciples.
While they were at the table eating, Jesus said, “I tell you that
one of you will betray me - one who is eating with me.”
The disciples were upset and began to ask him, one
after the other, “Surely you don't mean me, do you?”
