Luke 22:1-8 ▼

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

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 prepare the Passover meal for us, so we can eat it.|”
