5. And they were delighted and pledged [themselves] to give him money.
6. So he agreed [to this], and sought an opportunity to betray Him to them [without an uprising] in the absence of the throng.
7. Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover [lamb] had to be slain. [Exod. 12:18-20; Deut. 16:5-8.]
8. So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare for us the Passover meal, that we may eat it.
9. They said to Him, Where do You want us to prepare [it]?
10. He said to them, Behold, when you have gone into the city, a man carrying an earthen jug or pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters,
11. And say to the master of the house, The Teacher asks you, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover [meal] with My disciples?
12. And he will show you a large room upstairs, furnished [with carpets and with couches properly spread]; there make [your] preparations.
13. And they went and found it [just] as He had said to them; and they made ready the Passover [supper].
14. And when the hour came, [Jesus] reclined at table, and the apostles with Him.
