Luke 22:1-13 ▼

1 Now the festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was near.

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

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

4 he went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers of the temple police about how he might betray him to them.

5 They were greatly pleased and agreed to give him money.

6 So he consented and began to look for an opportunity to betray him to them when no crowd was present.

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

8 So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover meal for us that we may eat it.”

9 They asked him, “Where do you want us to make preparations for it?”

10 “Listen,” he said to them, “when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house he enters

11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The teacher asks you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’

12 He will show you a large room upstairs, already furnished. Make preparations for us there.”

13 So they went and found everything as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover meal.
