3Now Satan took possession of Judas, who was known as Iscariot, and who belonged to the Twelve;
4and he went and discussed with the chief priests and officers in charge at the Temple the best way of betraying Jesus to them.
5They were glad of this, and agreed to pay him.
6So Judas assented, and looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them, in the absence of a crowd.
7When the day of the Festival of the unleavened bread came, on which the Passover lambs had to be killed,
8Jesus sent forward Peter and John, saying to them, “Go and make preparations for our eating the Passover.”
9“Where do you wish us to make preparations?” they asked.
10“Listen,” he answered, “when you have got into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into whatever house he enters;
11and you will say to the owner of the house ‘The teacher says to you — Where is the room where I am to eat the Passover with my disciples?’
12The man will show you a large upstairs room, set out; there make preparations.”
13So Peter and John went on, and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
14When the time came, Jesus took his place at the table, and the apostles with him.
15“I have most earnestly wished,” he said, “to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
16For I tell you that I will not eat it again, until it has had its fulfilment in the kingdom of God.”
17Then, on receiving a cup, after saying the thanksgiving, he said, “Take this and share it amongst you.
18For I tell you that I will not, after today, drink of the juice of the grape, until the kingdom of God has come.”
19Then Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke it and gave to them, with the words, “This is my body.
