Luke 22:1-8

1 The Festival of Unleavened Bread, called Passover, was near.

2 The chief priests and the scribes were looking for some way to kill Jesus. However, they were afraid of the people.

3 Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve apostles.

4 Judas went to the chief priests and the temple guards and discussed with them how he could betray Jesus.

5 They were pleased and agreed to give him some money.

6 So Judas promised to do it. He kept looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them when there was no crowd.

7 The day came during the Festival of Unleavened Bread when the Passover lamb had to be killed.

8 Jesus sent Peter and John and told them, "Go, prepare the Passover lamb for us to eat."
