Read Luke 22:1-13

PLOTS TO MURDER AND BETRAY JESUS
All Jewish males over the age of 12 were required to go to Jerusalem for the Passover festival, which was followed by a seven-day celebration called the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For these festivals, Jews from all over the Roman Empire converged on Jerusalem to celebrate one of the most important events in their history.
Satan’s part in the betrayal of Jesus does not remove any of the responsibility from Judas. Disillusioned because Jesus was talking about dying rather than setting up His kingdom, Judas may have been trying to force Jesus’ hand and make Him use His power to prove He was the Messiah. Or perhaps Judas, not understanding Jesus’ mission, no longer believed that Jesus was God’s chosen one. Whatever Judas thought, Satan assumed that Jesus’ death would end this mission and thwart God’s plan. Like Judas, he did not know that Jesus’ death and resurrection were the most important parts of God’s plan all along.
The Passover meal included the sacrifice of a lamb because of the association with the Jew’s exodus from Egypt. When the Jews were getting ready to leave, God told them to kill a lamb and paint its blood on the door frames of their houses. They then were to prepare the meat for food. Peter and John had to buy and prepare the lamb as well as the unleavened bread, herbs, wine, and other ceremonial food.
