The Plot to Kill Jesus
(Mat 26:1–5, 14–16; Mar 14:1, 2, 10, 11; Jhn 11:45–53 )
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:1 -

The Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called Passover, was approaching.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:2 -

The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put him to death, because they were afraid of the people.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:3 -

Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, who was numbered among the Twelve.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:4 -

He went away and discussed with the chief priests and temple police how he could hand him over to them.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:5 -

They were glad and agreed to give him silver.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:6 -

So he accepted the offer and started looking for a good opportunity to betray him to them when the crowd was not present.

Preparation for Passover
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:7 -

Then the Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:8 -

Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:9 -

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

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:10 -

“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.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:11 -

“Tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks you, “Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples? ” ’

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:12 -

Then he will show you a large, furnished room upstairs. Make the preparations there.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:13 -

The First Lord’s Supper
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:14 -

When the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:15 -

Then he said to them, “I have fervently desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:16 -

“For I tell you, I will not eat it again[fn] until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:17 -

Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks, he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:18 -

“For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:19 -

And he took bread, gave thanks, broke it, gave it to them, and said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:20 -

In the same way he also took the cup after supper and said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:21 -

“But look, the hand of the one betraying me is at the table with me.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:22 -

“For the Son of Man will go away as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed! ”

The Dispute over Greatness
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:24 -

Then a dispute also arose among them about who should be considered the greatest.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:25 -

But he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who have authority over them have themselves called[fn] ‘Benefactors.’

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:26 -

“It is not to be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever is greatest among you should become like the youngest, and whoever leads, like the one serving.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:27 -

“For who is greater, the one at the table or the one serving? Isn’t it the one at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:28 -

“You are those who stood by me in my trials.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:29 -

“I bestow on you a kingdom, just as my Father bestowed one on me,

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:30 -

“so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. And you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

“Simon, Simon,[fn] look out. Satan has asked to sift you[fn] like wheat.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:32 -

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:33 -

“Lord,” he told him, “I’m ready to go with you both to prison and to death.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:34 -

“I tell you, Peter,” he said, “the rooster will not crow today until[fn] you deny three times that you know me.”

“Not a thing,” they said.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:36 -

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:37 -

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:55 -

They lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, and Peter sat among them.

About an hour later, another kept insisting, “This man was certainly with him, since he’s also a Galilean.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:60 -

But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about! ” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:61 -

Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter. So Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:62 -

And he went outside and wept bitterly.
