Luke 22:7-20 MWT Then came the yearly day of Unleavened Bread (or Passover, first instituted when the Jews sprinkled the blood of a lamb on their doorpost so the angel of death would pass them by in Egypt), on which the Jewish Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. (8) So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it." (As a Jew, instituting Christianity as the new proper form of worship, [John 4:7‑26] this was the last Jewish festival or holiday Jesus would celebrate.) (9) They said to him, "Where should we prepare it?" (10) He said to them, "Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters (11) and tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?' (12) And he will show you a large upper room furnished; get it ready there." (13) And they went and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. (14) And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. (15) And he said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. (16) For I tell you I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God." (17) And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, "Take this, and divide it among yourselves. (18) For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God is restored." (19) And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me." (20) And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup is the new covenant sealed with my blood which is poured out in my behalf. (See also: Mat 26:26‑29 and Mark 14:22‑25 and 1 Cor 11:17‑26)

Note: You should be very careful of Religionists who have selected Luke 22 verse 19, where Jesus told his disciples to keep eating and drinking in remembrance of him, and formed themselves a new religious holiday. They celebrate it every year on the anniversary of the ancient Jewish Passover festival. Please realize, Jesus came to fulfill and  do away with  "complete" Judaism, not to re‑brand it. False Christians (Mark 13:19‑23; Mat 24:23‑28; Mat 7:15‑23) have created elaborate schemes where their sect produces and provides "emblems" which they assert are needed by you because their bread and/or wine are (or represent) the flesh and blood of Christ. In their imagination, you must receive their emblems by the hand of someone  designated  "elevated" by their religious sect. (Mat 23:1‑12 & 15) What I believe you need, and what I try to do, is to eat the flesh and drink the blood of Christ in his memory with every meal, and more so by feeding on or listening to (reading) his teachings to familiarity. While I do remember that Jewish Passover holiday for it's power to direct to Christ, every time I eat, I try to follow Jesus's command to remember and thank God for his provision of spiritual food in the words of Jesus Christ! Jesus is the true bread that came down from heaven... (John 6:28‑34)

Luke 22:7-20 ALT Then the day of the [Feast of] Unleavened Bread came, in which it was necessary [for] the Passover [or, Paschal Lamb] to be sacrificed. (8) And He sent Peter and John, saying, "Having gone, prepare the Passover for us, so that we shall eat." (9) So they said to Him, "Where do You desire [that] we will prepare [it]?" (10) Then He said to them, "Listen! When you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters. (11) "And you will say to the master [or, owner] of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room, where I shall eat the Passover with My disciples?'" (12) "And that one will show to you a large, upstairs room, having been furnished. There prepare [it]." (13) Then having gone away, they found [everything] just as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover. (14) And when the hour came, He reclined [to eat], and the twelve apostles with Him. (15) And He said to them, "I desired with desire [fig., I earnestly desired] to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. (16) "For I say to you, no longer by any means shall I eat of it until which [time] it shall be fulfilled in the kingdom of God." (17) And having taken a cup, having given thanks, He said, "Take this and divide [it] among yourselves. (18) "For I say to you, by no means shall I drink of the fruit of the grapevine until which [time] the kingdom of God comes." (19) And having taken bread, having given thanks, He broke [it] and gave [it] to them, saying, "This is My body, the [one] being given on your behalf p; be doing this in remembrance of Me." (20) And in the same manner [He took] the cup after [they] ate, saying, "This cup [is] the New Covenant in My blood, the [blood] being poured out on your behalf. (See also: Mat 26:26‑29 and Mark 14:22‑25 and 1 Cor 11:17‑26)

Luke 22:7-20 GNB The day came during the Festival of Unleavened Bread when the lambs for the Passover meal were to be killed. (8) Jesus sent Peter and John with these instructions: "Go and get the Passover meal ready for us to eat." (9) "Where do you want us to get it ready?" they asked him. (10) He answered, "As you go into the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters, (11) and say to the owner of the house: 'The Teacher says to you, Where is the room where my disciples and I will eat the Passover meal?' (12) He will show you a large furnished room upstairs, where you will get everything ready." (13) They went off and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal. (14) When the hour came, Jesus took his place at the table with the apostles. (15) He said to them, "I have wanted so much to eat this Passover meal with you before I suffer! (16) For I tell you, I will never eat it until it is given its full meaning in the Kingdom of God." (17) Then Jesus took a cup, gave thanks to God, and said, "Take this and share it among yourselves. (18) I tell you that from now on I will not drink this wine until the Kingdom of God comes." (19) Then he took a piece of bread, gave thanks to God, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in memory of me." (20) In the same way, he gave them the cup after the supper, saying, "This cup is God's new covenant sealed with my blood, which is poured out for you. (See also: Mat 26:26‑29 and Mark 14:22‑25 and 1 Cor 11:17‑26)

Luke 22:7-20 NWT 7 The day of the unfermented cakes now arrived, on which the passover [victim] must be sacrificed; 8 and he dispatched Peter and John, saying: “Go and get the passover ready for us to eat.” 9 They said to him: “Where do you want us to get [it] ready?” 10 He said to them: “Look! When YOU enter into the city a man carrying an earthenware vessel of water will meet YOU. Follow him into the house into which he enters. 11 And YOU must say to the landlord of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you: “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the passover with my disciples?”’ 12 And that [man] will show YOU a large upper room furnished. Get [it] ready there.” 13 So they departed and found it just as he had said to them, and they got the passover ready. 14 At length when the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him. 15 And he said to them: “I have greatly desired to eat this passover with YOU before I suffer; 16 for I tell YOU, I will not eat it again until it becomes fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” 17 And, accepting a cup, he gave thanks and said: “Take this and pass it from one to the other among yourselves; 18 for I tell YOU, From now on I will not drink again from the product of the vine until the kingdom of God arrives.” 19 Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “This means my body which is to be given in YOUR behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” 20 Also, the cup in the same way after they had the evening meal, he saying: “This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in YOUR behalf.
