Luke 22:1-12 ▼

1 Now the days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called Passover, were approaching.

2 And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, were seeking a way to execute Jesus. Yet truly, they were afraid of the people.

3 Then Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.

4 And he went out and was speaking with the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates, as to how he might hand him over to them.

5 And they were glad, and so they made an agreement to give him money.

6 And he made a promise. And he was seeking an opportunity to hand him over, apart from the crowds.

7 Then the day of Unleavened Bread arrived, on which it was necessary to kill the Pascal lamb.

8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, “Go out, and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat.”

9 But they said, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”

10 And he said to them: “Behold, as you are entering into the city, a certain man will meet you, carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him to the house into which he enters.

11 And you shall say to the father of the household: ‘The Teacher says to you: Where is the guestroom, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’

12 And he will show you a large cenacle, fully furnished. And so, prepare it there.”
