PREPARATIONS FOR THE PASSOVER

The day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread arrived. On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, he sent out Peter and John, instructing them, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.” They asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?” He said to them, “When you go into the city, a certain man will meet you, carrying a jar of water. Follow him into the house that he enters. Wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, “the teacher says, “My appointed time draws near; where is my guest room in your house where I may celebrate the Passover with my disciples?””” Then he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Make the preparations there.” The disciples then did as Jesus had ordered. The disciples went off, entered the city, and found it just as he had told them; and there they prepared the Passover.
