Luke 22:1-12 ▼

1 Meanwhile the Festival of the Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,

2 and the High Priests and the Scribes were contriving how to destroy Him. But they feared the people.

3 Satan, however, entered into Judas (the man called Iscariot)

4 He went and conferred with the High Priests and Commanders as to how he should deliver Him up to them.

5 This gave them great pleasure, and they agreed to pay him.

6 He accepted their offer, and then looked out for an opportunity to betray Him when the people were not there.

7 When the day of the Unleavened Bread came--the day for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed--

8 Jesus sent Peter and John with instructions. "Go," He said, "and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it."

9 "Where shall we prepare it?" they asked.

10 "You will no sooner have entered the city," He replied, "than you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him into the house to which he goes,

11 and say to the master of the house, "'The Rabbi asks you, Where is the room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?'

12 "And he will show you a large furnished room upstairs. There make your preparations."
