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.

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!

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.

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."
