Jesus said to them, “I’ve had a deep desire to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
I have a baptism to go through, and I will suffer until it is over.
When it was time to eat the Passover meal, Jesus and the apostles were at the table.
I can guarantee that I won’t eat it again until it finds its fulfillment in God’s kingdom.”
Before the Passover festival, Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go back to the Father. Jesus loved his own who were in the world, and he loved them to the end.
After saying this, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the time is here. Give your Son glory so that your Son can give you glory.
Jesus told them, “My food is to do what the one who sent me wants me to do and to finish the work he has given me.
