Luke 22:1-12 ▼

1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,

2 and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death, for they feared the people.

3 Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.

4 And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.

5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

6 Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.

7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.

8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

9 “Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.

10 He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,

11 and say to the owner of that house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’

12 And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”
