Luke 22:1-13 ▼

1 The Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called Passover, was approaching.

2 The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put him to death, because they were afraid of the people.

3 Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, who was numbered among the Twelve.

4 He went away and discussed with the chief priests and temple police how he could hand him over to them.

5 They were glad and agreed to give him silver.

6 So he accepted the offer and started looking for a good opportunity to betray him to them when the crowd was not present.

7 Then the Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover lamb had 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 him.

10 “Listen,” he said to them, “when you’ve entered the city, a man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him into the house he enters.

11 Tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks you, “Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples? ” ’

12 Then he will show you a large, furnished room upstairs. Make the preparations there.”

13 So they went and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
