Saying, Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up children for his brother.

And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.

And you shall say unto the owner of the house, The Master says unto you, Where is the guest room, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.

But, behold, the hand of him that betrays me is with me on the table.

And truly the Son of man goes, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

But you shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that does serve.

And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck you?
