30 And so he said to Ananias, I will lead the way, and by a kiss make known which person is the Lord.
CHAPTER 160.
Jesus and the twelve eat the passover alone in Nicodemus’ house. Jesus washes the disciples’ feet. Judas leaves the table and goes forth to betray the Lord. Jesus teaches the eleven. He institutes the Lord’s supper.
On Thursday morning Jesus called to him the twelve disciples, and he said to them, This is God’s remembrance day, and we will eat the pascal supper all alone.
2 And then he said to Peter, James and John, Go now into Jerusalem and there prepare the pasch.
3 And the disciples said, Where would you have us go to find the place where we may have the feast prepared?
4 And Jesus said, Go by the fountain gate and you will see a man who has a pitcher in his hand. Speak unto him and say: This is the first day of unleavened bread;
5 The Lord would have you set apart your banquet hall where he may eat his last passover with the twelve.
6 Fear not to speak; the man whom you will see is Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, and yet a man of God.
7 And the disciples went and found the man as Jesus said, and Nicodemus hastened to his home; the banquet hall, an upper room, was set apart, the supper was prepared.
