Luke 22:3-14

3Then Satan entered into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve disciples,

4and he went to the leading priests and captains of the Temple guard to discuss the best way to betray Jesus to them.

5They were delighted, and they promised to give him money.

6So he agreed and began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus so they could arrest him when the crowds weren’t around.

7Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread arrived, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed.

8Jesus sent Peter and John ahead and said, “Go and prepare the Passover meal, so we can eat it together.”

9“Where do you want us to prepare it?” they asked him.

10He replied, “As soon as you enter Jerusalem, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him. At the house he enters,

11say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?’

12He will take you upstairs to a large room that is already set up. That is where you should prepare our meal.”

13They went off to the city and found everything just as Jesus had said, and they prepared the Passover meal there.

14When the time came, Jesus and the apostles sat down together at the table.
