The Last Supper - King James Version
Matthew 26:17-30[17] Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples
came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat
the passover?
[18] And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The
Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my
disciples.
[19] And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made
ready the passover.
[20] Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
[21] And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you
shall betray me.
[22] And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to
say unto him, Lord, is it I?
[23] And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the
dish, the same shall betray me.
[24] The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man
by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not
been born.
[25] Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I?
He said unto him, Thou hast said.
[26] And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake
it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
[27] And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying,
Drink ye all of it;
[28] For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many
for the remission of sins.
[29] But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the
vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
[30] And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of
Olives.
John 13:1-17
[1] Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his
hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having
loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
[2] And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of
Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
[3] Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands,
and that he was come from God, and went to God;
[4] He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel,
and girded himself.
[5] After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the
disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
[6] Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost
thou wash my feet?
[7] Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but
thou shalt know hereafter.
[8] Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered
him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
[9] Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands
and my head.
[10] Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his
feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
[11] For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all
clean.
[12] So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and
was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
[13] Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
[14] If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also
ought to wash one another's feet.
[15] For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to
you.
[16] Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his
lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
[17] If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
