Betrayal at the Passover

¹⁷ On the first day of Unleavened Bread^(A) the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”

¹⁸ “Go into the city to a certain man,” he said, “and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My time is near; I am celebrating the Passover at your place^[a] with my disciples.’”^{(B) 19} So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

Preparation for Passover

⁷ Then^(A) the Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.^{(B) 8} Jesus sent Peter and John,^(C) saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

⁹ “Where do you want us to prepare it?” they asked him.

¹⁰ “Listen,” he said to them, “when you’ve entered the city, a man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him into the house he enters. ¹¹ Tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks you, “Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?”’ ¹² Then he will show you a large, furnished room upstairs.^(D) Make the preparations there.”

¹³ So they went and found it just as he had told them,^(E) and they prepared the Passover.
