SACRED PLACES - SATB 49 THE UPPER ROOM Then the day of Unleavened Bread came. That was the time the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John on ahead. "Go," He told them. "Prepare for us to eat the Passover meal." "Where do you want us to prepare for it?" they asked. Jesus replied, "When you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters. Then say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room? Where can I eat the Passover meal with my disciples?' H e will show you a large upstairs room with furniture already in it. Prepare for us to eat there." Peter and John left. They found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover meal. When the hour came, Jesus and His apostles took their places at the table. He said to them, "I have really looked forward to eating this Passover meal with you. I wanted to do this before I suffer. I tell you, I will not eat the Passove r meal again until it is celebrated in God's kingdom." Then Jesus took bread. He gave thanks and broke it. He handed it to them and said, "This is My body. It is given for you. Every time you eat it, do this in memory of Me." In the same way, after the supper He took the cup. He said, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. It is poured out for you."
