Jesus takes His disciples to the upper room and they celebrate the Passover with a meal together. While there, He takes on the look and practice of a servant and washes the feet of all 12 men. They are taken back at this act of servanthood but Jesus shows them this is what it looks like to be great in the kingdom. 
 
Jesus is overcome with emotions at the thought of being betrayed by one of His own followers (Judas Iscariot) and He announces this to the 12. They are shocked to hear of the impending betrayal and ask Him which person would be the guilty party. Jesus identifies Judas and tells him to go do what he’s planned. Judas leaves the celebration. 
 
Jesus institutes the first communion with the 11 disciples telling them to remember what He’s about to do for them.
 
Jesus has an appointment to carry out His Father’s will in the Garden of Gethsemane. He asks His disciples to pray with Him but they fall asleep. Jesus is left to prayerfully agonize over what is about to happen.
 
The guards arrive, led by Judas, to arrest Jesus. They bind Him with rope and lead Him away to the first of 5 trials that will take place over the next several hours. Peter denies being Jesus' follower.
 
What does it take to follow Jesus? Everything we have. It requires our sacrificial obedience to Him. It takes denying ourselves, picking up our own cross, and following Jesus as He leads us.
 
”I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
Galatians 2:20
