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 .”
22:17 Then he took a cup , and after giving thanks he said , “Take this and divide it among yourselves .
