They celebrated the time when God's angel passed over their houses and spared the firstborn son in every household where the blood of a lamb was put around the door as God had commanded. Every Passover from then on, the Jews sacrificed lambs to remember God's saving them by the lambs' blood. Jesus, knowing everything that would happen to him, told his disciples that he was going to Jerusalem, where he would be sacrificed by being crucified.

The Jewish leaders in Jerusalem were plotting to kill Jesus, because they rejected him as the Savior. Judas, one of Jesus' disciples, went to them and said he would help them get Jesus if they would pay him. Judas had been a dishonest disciple - he was in charge of the moneybag, but he stole from it.

Then he took a cup of wine and said, "Drink this. It is my blood of the New Covenant shed for the forgiveness of sins." In this way, Jesus said that his blood would be poured out to cover their sins.

Then, Jesus announced that one of them would betray him. The disciples were surprised and did not know who would do such a thing. Jesus said he would give a piece of bread to the betrayer, then he gave the bread to Judas. Judas ate it and Satan entered into him.
