New Covenant at the Last Seder

12 Now on the first day of matzah, when they were slaughtering the Passover lamb, Yeshua’s disciples say to Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

13 He sends two of His disciples and tells them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him, 14 and wherever he enters, tell the homeowner, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’ 15 He will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

16 The disciples went out, came to the city, and found just what Yeshua had told them. And they prepared the Passover. 17 When it was evening, He came with the Twelve. 18 As they were reclining and eating, Yeshua said, “Amen, I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

19 They began to be sorrowful and to say to Him one by one, “I’m not the one, am I?”

20 He said to them, “It’s one of the Twelve, one who dips with Me in the bowl. [a] 21 For the Son of Man indeed goes, just as it is written about Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born!”
