Luke 21:29-22:13
New International Version
29 He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. 30 When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. 31 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God(A) is near.
32 “Truly I tell you, this generation(B) will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.(C)
34 “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life,(D) and that day will close on you suddenly(E) like a trap. 35 For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36 Be always on the watch, and pray(F) that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 Each day Jesus was teaching at the temple,(G) and each evening he went out(H) to spend the night on the hill called the Mount of Olives,(I) 38 and all the people came early in the morning to hear him at the temple.(J)
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(K)
22 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,(L) 2 and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus,(M) for they were afraid of the people. 3 Then Satan(N) entered Judas, called Iscariot,(O) one of the Twelve. 4 And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard(P) and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. 5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.(Q) 6 He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.
The Last Supper(R)(S)(T)(U)(V)
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.(W) 8 Jesus sent Peter and John,(X) saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”
9 “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.(Y) So they prepared the Passover.

Luke 21:29-22:13
King James Version
29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
22 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill 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 communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
8 And he sent Peter 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 goodman 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.

The Parable of the Fig Tree(A)
29 (B)Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. 30 When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. 31 So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. 32 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. 33 (C)Heaven and earth will pass away, but My (D)words will by no means pass away.
The Importance of Watching(E)
34 “But (F)take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with [a]carousing, drunkenness, and (G)cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For (H)it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 (I)Watch therefore, and (J)pray always that you may [b]be counted (K)worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and (L)to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 (M)And in the daytime He was teaching in the temple, but (N)at night He went out and stayed on the mountain called Olivet. 38 Then early in the morning all the people came to Him in the temple to hear Him.
The Plot to Kill Jesus(O)
22 Now (P)the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called Passover. 2 And (Q)the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill Him, for they feared the people.
3 (R)Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the (S)twelve. 4 So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them. 5 And they were glad, and (T)agreed to give him money. 6 So he promised and sought opportunity to (U)betray Him to them in the absence of the multitude.
Jesus and His Disciples Prepare the Passover
7 (V)Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover must be [c]killed. 8 And He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”
9 So they said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare?”
10 And He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house which he enters. 11 Then you shall say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’ 12 Then he will show you a large, furnished upper room; there make ready.”
13 So they went and (W)found it just as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
