And he said to them: With desire I have desired to eat this pasch with you, before I suffer.
And I have a baptism wherewith I am to be baptized: and how am I straitened until it be accomplished?
BEFORE the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work.
THESE things Jesus spoke, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said: Father, the hour is come, glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.
And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
For I say to you, that from this time I will not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
