1
Now the feast of unleavened bread, which [is] called the passover, drew nigh,
2
and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
3
And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariote, being of the number of the twelve.
4
And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them.
5
And they were rejoiced, and agreed to give him money.
6
And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd.
7
And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed.
8
And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat [it].
9
But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare [it]?
10
And he said to them, Behold, as ye enter into the city a man will meet you, carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in;
11
and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
