Exodus
12:1-4, 11-14
12:1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt:
12:2
This month shall mark for you the beginning of months; it shall be
the first month of the year for you.
12:3
Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth of this
month they are to take a lamb for each family, a lamb for each
household.
12:4
If a household is too small for a whole lamb, it shall join its
closest neighbor in obtaining one; the lamb shall be divided in
proportion to the number of people who eat of it.
12:11
This is how you shall eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on
your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it
hurriedly. It is the passover of the LORD.
12:12
For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will
strike down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both human
beings and animals; on all the gods of Egypt I will execute
judgments: I am the LORD.
12:13
The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live:
when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall
destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
12:14
This day shall be a day of remembrance for you. You shall
celebrate it as a festival to the LORD; throughout your
generations you shall observe it as a perpetual ordinance.

Psalm
116:1-2, 12-19
116:1 I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my
supplications.
116:2
Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as
long as I live.
116:12
What shall I return to the LORD for all his bounty to me?
116:13
I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the
LORD,
116:14
I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
116:15
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful
ones.
116:16
O LORD, I am your servant; I am your servant, the child of your
serving girl. You have loosed my bonds.
116:17
I will offer to you a thanksgiving sacrifice and call on the name
of the LORD.
116:18
I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,
116:19
in the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O
Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!

Corinthians 11:23-26
11:23 For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you,
that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf
of bread,
11:24
and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is
my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
11:25
In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying,
"This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often
as you drink it, in remembrance of me."
11:26
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim
the Lord's death until he comes.

John
13:1-17, 31b-35
13:1 Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his
hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father.
Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the
end.
13:2
The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon
Iscariot to betray him. And during supper
13:3
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his
hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God,
13:4
got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel
around himself.
13:5
Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples'
feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him.
13:6
He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going
to wash my feet?"
13:7
Jesus answered, "You do not know now what I am doing, but
later you will understand."
13:8
Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus
answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no share with
me."
13:9
Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only but also my
hands and my head!"
13:10
Jesus said to him, "One who has bathed does not need to wash,
except for the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean,
though not all of you."
13:11
For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said,
"Not all of you are clean."
13:12
After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had
returned to the table, he said to them, "Do you know what I
have done to you?
13:13
You call me Teacher and Lord--and you are right, for that is what
I am.
13:14
So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also
ought to wash one another's feet.
13:15
For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have
done to you.
13:16
Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their
master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them.
13:17
If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.
13:31b
When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has
been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
13:32
If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in
himself and will glorify him at once.
13:33
Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look
for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, 'Where I am
going, you cannot come.'
13:34
I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I
have loved you, you also should love one another.
13:35
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have
love for one another."
