Luke 22:1-23.

Luke 22.1-23
A Plot To Kill Jesus

"The Festival of Thin Bread, also called Passover, was near. The
chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses were looking for a
way to get rid of Jesus, because they were afraid of what the people
might do. Then Satan entered the heart of Judas Iscariot, who was one
of the twelve apostles.

Judas went to talk with the chief priests and the officers of the
temple police about how he could help them arrest Jesus. They were
very pleased and offered to pay Judas some money. He agreed and
started looking for a good chance to betray Jesus when the crowds were
not around.

Jesus Eats with His Disciples

The day had come for the Festival of Thin Bread, and it was time to
kill the Passover lambs. So Jesus said to Peter and John, "Go and
prepare the Passover meal for us to eat."

But they asked, "Where do you want us to prepare it?"

Jesus told them, "As you go into the city, you will meet a man
carrying a jar of water. Follow him into the house and say to the
owner, 'Our teacher wants to know where he can eat the Passover meal
with his disciples.' The owner will take you upstairs and show you a
large room ready for you to use. Prepare the meal there."

Peter and John left. They found everything just as Jesus had told
them, and they prepared the Passover meal.

The Lord's Supper

When the time came for Jesus and the apostles to eat, he said to
them, "I have very much wanted to eat this Passover meal with you
before I suffer. I tell you that I will not eat another Passover meal
until it is finally eaten in God's kingdom."

Jesus took a cup of wine in his hands and gave thanks to God. Then he
told the apostles, "Take this wine and share it with each other. I
tell you that I will not drink any more wine until God's kingdom
comes."

Jesus took some bread in his hands and gave thanks for it. He broke
the bread and handed it to his apostles. Then he said, "This is my
body, which is given for you. Eat this as a way of remembering me!"

After the meal he took another cup of wine in his hands. Then he said,
"This is my blood. It is poured out for you, and with it God makes his
new agreement. The one who will betray me is here at the table with
me! The Son of Man will die in the way that has been decided for him,
but it will be terrible for the one who betrays him!"

Then the apostles started arguing about who would ever do such a thing."

Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

God bless you.
