Luke 22:1-11

Plot to kill Jesus

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

2 The chief priests and the legal experts were looking for a way to kill Jesus, because they were afraid of the people.

3 Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.

4 He went out and discussed with the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard how he could hand Jesus over to them.

5 They were delighted and arranged payment for him.

6 He agreed and began looking for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them—a time when the crowds would be absent.

Disciples prepare for the Passover

7 The Day of Unleavened Bread arrived, when the Passover had to be sacrificed.

8 Jesus sent Peter and John with this task: " Go and prepare for us to eat the Passover meal."

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

10 Jesus replied, " When you go into the city, a man carrying a water jar will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters.

11 Say to the owner of the house, ‘The teacher says to you, Where is the guestroom where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples? '
