Luke 22:1-8

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."
