Scene VI – The Upper Room & Gethsemane Luke 22:7-53

 

Tableau:       Table with chalice and loaf of bread

 

R2:          Celebration!

 

R1:          Contemplation!

 

R2:          Declaration!

 

Narrator:       And Jesus sent Peter and John to make arrangements for a place where they might all eat the Passover.

“As you enter the city you will see a man carrying a jar of water. He will enter a house, say to the owner of that house ‘The Teacher asks where is the Upper Room where I and my disciples may take the Passover?’”

There you shall make preparations.

 

R1:          When all of the disciples and Jesus had arrived, and all were comfortably reclining at the table, Jesus spoke:

 

Narrator:       “It is my wish to eat this Passover with you, for I shall not eat it again until I am back with my Father in Heaven.”

 

R2:          Taking the cup Jesus gave thanks.

 

Narrator:       “Share this cup with each other, I will not again drink until God’s Kingdom comes.”

 

R1:          Jesus then took the bread, broke it and handed it to the others.

 

Narrator:       “This is my body which I have cheerfully given for your benefit! Remember this when you eat.”

 

R2:          After supper he took the cup, saying:
This cup represents the covenant which the shedding of my blood will give you.

 

R1:          But Jesus went on to inform them there was a traitor among them who would betray him.

 

Narrator:     I will go as a sacrifice to each of you . . . but oh the calamity awaiting that man!

 

R2:          There was speculation and denial as to who was the one who would be the betrayer.
Only Jesus knew as Judas left the room.

 

Narrator:       But the disciples did not . . . could not . . . understand the depth of what Jesus was saying.
