1
Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
2
And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill Him, for they feared the people.
3
Then entered Satan into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, being one of the twelve.
4
And he went his way and communed with the chief priests and captains how he might betray Him unto them.
5
And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6
And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray Him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
7
Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread when the Passover lamb must be killed.
8
And He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat."
9
And they said unto Him, "Where wilt Thou have us prepare?"
10
And He said unto them, "Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water. Follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11
And ye shall say unto the master of the house, `The Master saith unto thee, "Where is the guestchamber where I shall eat the Passover with My disciples?"'
12
And he shall show you a large upper room furnished. There make ready."
13
And they went and found as He had said unto them. And they made ready the Passover.
14
And when the hour had come, He sat down and the twelve apostles with Him.
15
And He said unto them, "With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;
16
for I say unto you, I will not anymore eat thereof until it be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God."
