Luke 22:1-13 ▼

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

2 The chief priests and the experts in the law were trying to find some way to execute Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.

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

4 He went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers of the temple guard how he might betray Jesus, handing him over to them.

5 They were delighted and arranged to give him money.

6 So Judas agreed and began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus when no crowd was present.

7 Then the day for the feast of Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, |Go and prepare the Passover for us to eat.|

9 They said to him, |Where do you want us to prepare it?|

10 He said to them, |Listen, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters,

11 and tell the owner of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, |Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?|'

12 Then he will show you a large furnished room upstairs. Make preparations there.|

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