猶大出賣耶穌

22 除酵節,又名逾越節,快到了。 祭司長和律法教師因為害怕百姓,便密謀如何殺害耶穌。 這時,撒旦進入加略人猶大的心,這人原是十二使徒之一。 他去見祭司長和聖殿護衛長,商議如何把耶穌出賣給他們, 他們喜出望外,答應給猶大一筆酬金。 猶大同意了,便伺機找百姓不在的場合將耶穌交給他們。

最後的晚餐

除酵節到了,那天要宰殺逾越羊羔。 耶穌差派彼得和約翰出去,說:「你們為我們準備逾越節吃的晚餐。」

他們問:「你要我們到哪裡去預備呢?」

10 耶穌回答說:「你們進城的時候,一個男子會扛著一瓶水迎面走來,你們要跟著他,他進哪所房子,你們也進去, 11 對房子的主人說,『老師問你客房在哪裡,祂要和門徒在裡面吃逾越節的晚餐。』 12 那主人會帶你們到樓上一間佈置整齊的大房間,你們就在那裡預備吧。」

13 他們進了城,所遇見的果然和耶穌所說的一樣。他們便在那裡預備逾越節的晚餐。

設立聖餐

14 晚餐時,耶穌和使徒們一同坐席。 15 耶穌對他們說:「我一直盼望在受難之前和你們同吃這個逾越節的宴席。 16 我告訴你們,在這宴席成就在上帝的國度之前,我不會再吃這宴席了。」

17 祂接過杯來,祝謝後,說:「你們拿去分著喝吧。 18 我告訴你們,在上帝的國降臨之前,我不會再喝這葡萄酒了。」

19 接著,祂拿起餅來,祝謝後,掰開遞給他們,說:「這是我為你們犧牲的身體,你們今後也要這樣做,以紀念我。」

20 飯後,祂又舉起杯來,說:「這杯是用我的血立的新約,這血是為你們流的。

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(A)

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

The Last Supper(H)(I)(J)(K)(L)

Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.(M) Jesus sent Peter and John,(N) 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.(O) So they prepared the Passover.

14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles(P) reclined at the table.(Q) 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.(R) 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”(S)

17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it,(T) and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant(U) in my blood, which is poured out for you.[a]
