Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the ^aPassover.

 2 And the chief ^apriests and ^bscribes sought how they might ^ckill him; for they feared the people.

 3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

 4 And he went his way, and ^acommuned with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.

 5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him ^amoney.

 6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

 7 Then came the day of ^aunleavened bread, when the ^bpassover must be killed.

 8 And he sent ^aPeter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.

 9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

 10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.

 11 And ye shall say unto the ^agoodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

 12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

 13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

 14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

 16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, ^auntil it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

 17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

 18 For I say unto you, I will not ^adrink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

 19 And he took ^abread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my ^bbody which is ^cgiven for you: this do in ^dremembrance of me.

 20 Likewise also the ^acup after supper, saying, This cup is the new ^btestament in my blood, which is shed for you.

 21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

 22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was ^adetermined: but woe unto that man by whom he is ^bbetrayed!

 23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
