Context
Judas’ Decision to Betray Jesus
22:1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread , which is called the Passover , was approaching . 22:2 The chief priests and the experts in the law were trying to find some way to execute Jesus , for they were afraid of the people . 22:3 Then Satan entered Judas , the one called Iscariot , who was one of the twelve . 22:4 He went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers of the temple guard how he might betray Jesus, handing him over to them . 22:5 They were delighted and arranged to give him money . 22:6 So Judas agreed and began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus when no crowd was present .
The Passover
22:7 Then the day for the feast of Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed . 22:8 Jesus sent Peter and John , saying , “Go and prepare the Passover for us to eat .” 22:9 They said to him , “Where do you want us to prepare it?” 22:10 He said to them , “Listen , when you have entered the city , a man carrying a jar of water will meet you . Follow him into the house that he enters , 22:11 and tell the owner of the house , ‘The Teacher says to you , “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples ?”’ 22:12 Then he will show you a large furnished room upstairs . Make preparations there .” 22:13 So they went and found things just as he had told them , and they prepared the Passover .
The Lord’s Supper
22:14 Now when the hour came , Jesus took his place at the table and the apostles joined him . 22:15 And he said to them , “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer . 22:16 For I tell you , I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God .”
