Getting Ready for the Special Supper ^(A)

¹⁷ On the first day of the supper of bread without yeast the followers came to Jesus. They said, “What place do You want us to make ready for You to eat the supper of the special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt?” ¹⁸ He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I will eat the special supper at your house with My followers.”’” ¹⁹ The followers did as Jesus told them. They made things ready for this special supper.
