Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread was just two days away, which is called the Passover. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking to arrest Jesus by secrecy and deceit and thus put Him to death. For they kept saying, “It must not be during the Feast, for fear that there might be a riot of the people.” At that time, Satan entered into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve apostles. So he went to the chief priests and captains and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus and deliver Him up to them. And they were delighted and pledged themselves to give Judas the money. And they weighed out for and paid him thirty pieces of silver, which amounted to about twenty-one dollars and 60 cents. (Exod. 21:32; Zech. 11:12). So he agreed to this and sought from that moment on to watch for a fitting opportunity to betray Him.

Then came the day of the Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be slain. (Exod. 12:18-20; Deut. 16:5-8). So Jesus sent Peter and John saying, “Go and prepare for us the Passover meal, that we may eat it.”
They said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare it?”
Jesus said to them, “Behold, when you have gone into the city, a man carrying an earthen jug or pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters. And say to the master of the house, The Teacher asks you, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover meal with My disciples?”
And he will show you a large room upstairs, furnished with carpets and with couches properly spread; there make your preparations. And they went and found it just as He had said to them, and they made ready the Passover supper.

And when the hour came, Jesus reclined at table and the apostles with Him. And He said to them, “I have earnestly and intensely desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I say to you, I will eat it no more until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

Judas, the betrayer, said, “Surely it is not I, is it Master?”
He said to him, “You have stated the fact.”
