The Plot to Kill Jesus
1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, [a] called the Passover, was approaching, 1
2
and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death, for they feared the people.
4
And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.
5
They were delighted and agreed to give him money.
6
Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.
Preparing the Passover
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed. 3
8
Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”
9
“Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.
10
He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,
11
and say to the owner of that house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’
12
And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”
13
So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.
15
And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.
16
For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17
After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.
18
For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”
19
And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
20
In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you. [b]
21
Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.
22
Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”
23
Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.
Who Is the Greatest?
24 A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them should be considered the greatest.
25
So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.
26
But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.
27
For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am among you as one who serves.
28
You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.
29
And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,
30
so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
32
But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
33
“Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”
34
But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”
35
Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.
36
“Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.
37
For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ [c] For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.”
38
So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.
