Luke 22:1-22 ▼

1 Now the feast of unleaven'd bread, which is call'd the passover,

2 being nigh, the chief priests consulted with the Scribes, how they might put Jesus to death; for they were afraid of the people.

3 now satan had inspired Judas surnam'd Iscariot, one of the twelve, what to do.

4 accordingly he went and conferr'd with the chief priests and officers of the temple, about the method of seizing him.

5 they were pleas'd with his proposal, and agreed to give him a certain sum.

6 Judas accepted the bargain, and sought an opportunity to secure him, without alarming the people.

7 The day of unleaven'd bread being come, when the paschal-lamb was to be sacrific'd,

8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, go, and make provision for our eating the paschal-lamb.

9 they ask'd him, where would you have us prepare it?

10 he answered, when you are in the city, you will meet a man with a pitcher of water; follow him to the house, where he goes in:

11 and say to the man of the house, our master sent to ask for a room, where he may eat the passover with his disciples.

12 and he will show you a large upper room ready fitted: there prepare the supper.

13 so they went, and having found every thing as Jesus had said, they made ready the passover.

14 The hour of eating being come, he, and the twelve apostles sat down to table.

15 and he said to them, I have ardently desired to eat this passover with you, before I suffer.

16 for I declare unto you, I shall not celebrate this passover with you any more, to the time, when it shall have its accomplishment in the kingdom of the messiah.

17 having then taken the cup, and given thanks, he said, take this, and distribute it to one another.

18 for I tell you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine to the time when the kingdom of God shall come.

19 then he took bread, and having given thanks, he brake it, and gave it to them, saying, this represents my body which is given for you: do this in remembrance of me.

20 and after supper he likewise gave the cup, saying, this cup is the new testament sealed by my blood, which is shed for you.

21 yet there's the hand that is to seize me, now upon the table.

22 the son of man indeed must die, as it was decreed: but wo to that man by whom he is betrayed.
