22 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which [is] called the passover, drew nigh,

² and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

³ And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariote, being of the number of the twelve.

⁴ And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them.

⁵ And they were rejoiced, and agreed to give him money.

⁶ And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd.

⁷ And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed.

⁸ And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat [it].

⁹ But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare [it]?

¹⁰ And he said to them, Behold, as ye enter into the city a man will meet you, carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in;

¹¹ and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

¹² And *he* will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

¹³ And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover.

¹⁴ And when the hour was come, he placed himself at table, and the [twelve] apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.

¹⁶ For I say unto you, that I will not eat any more at all of it until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ And having received a cup, when he had given thanks he said, Take this and divide it among yourselves.

¹⁸ For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God come.

¹⁹ And having taken a loaf, when he had given thanks, he broke [it], and gave [it] to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁰ In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

²¹ Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up [is] with me on the table;

²² and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.

²³ And *they* began to question together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this.
