Luke 22:15

13 So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.

14 When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles.

And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.

16 For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17 After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.
