New Living Translation (NLT)
Luke 21
36 Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man.”
37 Every day Jesus went to the Temple to teach, and each evening he returned to spend the night on the Mount of Olives.
38 The crowds gathered at the Temple early each morning to hear him.
Luke 22
1 The Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is also called Passover, was approaching.
2 The leading priests and teachers of religious law were plotting how to kill Jesus, but they were afraid of the people’s reaction.
3 Then Satan entered into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve disciples,
4 and he went to the leading priests and captains of the Temple guard to discuss the best way to betray Jesus to them.
5 They were delighted, and they promised to give him money.
6 So he agreed and began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus so they could arrest him when the crowds weren’t around.
7 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread arrived, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed.
8 Jesus sent Peter and John ahead and said, “Go and prepare the Passover meal, so we can eat it together.”
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
