NAS - Luke 22:1-23

22 Preparing the Passover

¹Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching. ²The chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might put Him to death; for they were afraid of the people.

³And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve. ⁴And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he might betray Him to them. ⁵They were glad and agreed to give him money. ⁶So he consented, and began seeking a good opportunity to betray Him to them apart from the crowd.

⁷Then came the first day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. ⁸And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it."⁹They said to Him, "Where do You want us to prepare it?" ¹⁰And 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."¹³And they left and found everything just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

The Lord's Supper

¹⁴When the hour had come, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him. ¹⁵And He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;¹⁶for I say to you, I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."¹⁷And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves;¹⁸for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes."¹⁹And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."²⁰And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.²¹"But behold, the hand of the one betraying Me is with Mine on the table.²²"For indeed, the Son of Man is going as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!"²³And they began to discuss among themselves which one of them it might be who was going to do this thing.
