Luke 22:1-13

Preparing the Passover

1 ¹Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the ²Passover, was approaching.

2 The chief priests and the scribes ³were seeking how they might put Him to death; for they were afraid of the people.

3 ⁴And ⁵Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging * to the number of the twelve.

4 And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and ⁶officers how he might betray Him to them.

5 They were glad and agreed to give him money.

6 So he consented, and began seeking a good opportunity to betray Him to them apart from the crowd.

7 ⁷Then came the first day of Unleavened Bread on which ⁸the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

8 And Jesus sent ⁹Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it."

9 They said to Him, "Where do You want us to prepare it?"

10 And He said to them, "When you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house that he enters.

11 "And you shall say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"'

12 "And he will show you a large, furnished upper room; prepare it there."

13 And they left and found everything just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.
