Now no man at the table knew to what purpose He said this
                        unto him. For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him: "Buy those
                        things which we have need of for the festival day"; or that he should give something to the poor.
        He therefore, having received the morsel, went out immediately. And it was night.

                        And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread. And giving thanks, He blessed, broke, and gave
                        [it] to His disciples, saying: "Take ye, and eat. This is My Body, which shall be delivered for you.
Do this for a commemoration of Me."
                        And taking the chalice also, after He had supped, He gave thanks in like manner, saying: "Drink ye
                        all of this. For this is My Blood of the New Testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission
                        of sins. This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of Me," And He gave it to
them, and they all drank of it.

Jesus' Interior Prayer and Lamentation

                          My enemy hath spoken evils against Me, and if he came in to see Me, he spoke vain things. His heart
     gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose.
                          All my enemies whispered together against Me. They devised evils to Me. They determined against Me
                        an unjust word: "Shall He that sleepeth rise again no more?" For even the man of peace, in whom I
trusted, who ate My bread, hath greatly supplanted Me.
                    But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on Me, and raise Me up again. Thou hast upheld Me by reason of My
                        innocence, and hast established Me in Thy sight forever. Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from
eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it.

Psalm 40:6-11, 13-14
