Prepare the Passover

1The Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called Passover, was drawing near.

2And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might kill him, for they were afraid of the people.

3Then Satan entered into Judas, the one called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve.

4And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he might hand him over to them.

5And they rejoiced and agreed to give him money.

6And he agreed, and began seeking an opportunity to hand him over to them apart from the crowd.

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

8And he 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, “Look, when you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters.”

11And you will say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’

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

13So they went and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
