Luke 22:1-11 (The Message)
View In My Bible
1
The Feast of Unleavened Bread, also called Passover, drew near.
2
The high priests and religion scholars were looking for a way to do away with Jesus but, fearful of the people, they were also looking for a way to cover their tracks.
3
That's when Satan entered Judas, the one called Iscariot. He was one of the Twelve.
4
Leaving the others, he conferred with the high priests and the Temple guards about how he might betray Jesus to them.
5
They couldn't believe their good luck and agreed to pay him well.
6
He gave them his word and started looking for a way to betray Jesus, but out of sight of the crowd.
7
The Day of Unleavened Bread came, the day the Passover lamb was butchered.
8
Jesus sent Peter and John off, saying, "Go prepare the Passover for us so we can eat it together."
9
They said, "Where do you want us to do this?"
10
He said, "Keep your eyes open as you enter the city. A man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him home.
11
Then speak with the owner of the house: The Teacher wants to know, 'Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?'
