37 Each day Jesus was teaching at the temple,(A) and each evening he went out(B) to spend the night on the hill called the Mount of Olives,(C) 38 and all the people came early in the morning to hear him at the temple.(D)

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(E)

22 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,(F) and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus,(G) for they were afraid of the people. Then Satan(H) entered Judas, called Iscariot,(I) one of the Twelve. And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard(J) and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. They were delighted and agreed to give him money.(K) He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.

The Last Supper(L)(M)(N)(O)(P)

Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.(Q) Jesus sent Peter and John,(R) saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

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

10 He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.”

13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them.(S) So they prepared the Passover.

The Sovereign Lord(A) has given me a well-instructed tongue,(B)
    to know the word that sustains the weary.(C)
He wakens me morning by morning,(D)
    wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.(E)
The Sovereign Lord(F) has opened my ears;(G)
    I have not been rebellious,(H)
    I have not turned away.
I offered my back to those who beat(I) me,
    my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;(J)
I did not hide my face
    from mocking and spitting.(K)
Because the Sovereign Lord(L) helps(M) me,
    I will not be disgraced.
Therefore have I set my face like flint,(N)
    and I know I will not be put to shame.(O)
He who vindicates(P) me is near.(Q)
    Who then will bring charges against me?(R)
    Let us face each other!(S)
Who is my accuser?
    Let him confront me!
It is the Sovereign Lord(T) who helps(U) me.
    Who will condemn(V) me?
They will all wear out like a garment;
    the moths(W) will eat them up.
