1 Meanwhile the Festival of the Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching, 2 and the High Priests and the Scribes were contriving how to destroy Him. But they feared the people. 3 Satan, however, entered into Judas (the man called Iscariot) 4 He went and conferred with the High Priests and Commanders as to how he should deliver Him up to them. 5 This gave them great pleasure, and they agreed to pay him. 6 He accepted their offer, and then looked out for an opportunity to betray Him when the people were not there. 7 When the day of the Unleavened Bread came--the day for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed-- 8 Jesus sent Peter and John with instructions. "Go," He said, "and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it." Luke 22:1-8, Weymouth New Testament. Public domain.
