Matthew
Matthew 26:17–20
17On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread,c the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
18He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’” 19So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
20When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.d
