BETRAYED
- Passover points people to Jesus (Luke 22:1; Leviticus 23:5-7; Exodus 12:11-13; Mark 14:32; 1 Corinthians 5:7)
- Some religious people betray Him (Luke 22:2-5; John 6:64; John 6:70-71; Luke 10:18; Psalm 23:5)
- But not the entire crowd (Luke 22:6; John 18:28; Not Everyone in the Crowd; 1 Peter 1:18-20)
Luke 22:1
1 The Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is also called Passover, was approaching.
Leviticus 23:5-7
5 The Lord’s Passover begins at sundown on the fourteenth day of the first month. 6 On the next day, the fifteenth day of the month, you must begin celebrating the Festival of Unleavened Bread. This festival to the Lord continues for seven days, and during that time the bread you eat must be made without yeast. 7 On the first day of the festival, all the people must stop their ordinary work and observe an official day for holy assembly.
Exodus 12:11-13
11 These are your instructions for eating this meal: Be fully dressed, wear your sandals, and carry your walking stick in your hand. Eat the meal with urgency, for this is the Lord’s Passover. 12 On that night I will pass through the land of Egypt and strike down every firstborn son and firstborn male animal in the land of Egypt. I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt, for I am the Lord! 13 But the blood on your doorposts will serve as a sign, marking the houses where you are staying. When I see the blood, I will pass over you.

Luke 22:2-5
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.

1 Peter 1:18-20 (Scripture)
18 For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. 19 It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. 20 God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but now in these last days he has been revealed for your sake.
