Jesus brake one of the loaves of unleavened bread, covered up a part of it, and divided the remainder among his Apostles.

Another cup of wine was brought, but Jesus drank not of it: 'Take this,' he said, 'and divide it among you, for I will not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I shall drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father' (Matt.

26:29).

When they had drunk the wine, they sang a hymn; then Jesus prayed or taught, and they again washed their hands.

After this they sat down.
Our Lord cut up another lamb which was carried to the holy women in one of the buildings of the court, where they were seated at table.
