Luke 22:1-22 ▼

1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, drew near.

2 The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him, for they feared the people.

3 Satan entered into Judas, who was called Iscariot, who was numbered with the twelve.

4 He went away, and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.

5 They were glad, and agreed to give him money.

6 He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the crowd.

7 The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover lamb must be sacrificed.

8 He sent Peter and John, saying, |Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.|

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

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

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

12 He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.|

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

14 When the hour had come, he reclined at the table, and the apostles joined him.

15 He said to them, |I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,

16 for I say to you, I will not eat of it again until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.|

17 He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, |Take this, and share it among yourselves,

18 for I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the Kingdom of God comes.|

19 He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, |This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.|

20 Likewise, he took the cup after they had eaten, saying, |This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

21 But look, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.

22 The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed.|
