< Luke 22 >

1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which [is] called the passover, drew nigh,
Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread was approaching, which is called the Passover.
2 and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
The chief priests and the scribes discussed how they could put Jesus to death, for they were afraid of the people.
3 And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariote, being of the number of the twelve.
Then Satan entered into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve.
4 And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them.
Judas went to the chief priests and captains and discussed with them how he would betray Jesus to them.
5 And they were rejoiced, and agreed to give him money.
They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
6 And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd.
He consented, and looked for an opportunity to deliver him to them away from the crowd.
7 And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed.
Then came the day of unleavened bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat [it].
So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare for us the Passover meal, so that we may eat it.”
9 But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare [it]?
They said to him, “Where do you want us to make preparations?”
10 And he said to them, Behold, as ye enter into the city a man will meet you, carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in;
He answered them, “Listen, when you have entered the city, a man bearing a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he goes into.
11 and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
Then say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I will eat the Passover with my disciples?”'
12 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
He will show you a large furnished upper room. Make the preparations there.”
13 And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover.
So they went, and found everything as he had said to them. Then they prepared the Passover meal.
14 And when the hour was come, he placed himself at table, and the [twelve] apostles with him.
When the time came, he sat down with the apostles.
15 And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.
Then he said to them, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
16 For I say unto you, that I will not eat any more at all of it until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
For I say to you, I will not eat it again, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17 And having received a cup, when he had given thanks he said, Take this and divide it among yourselves.
Then Jesus took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this, and share it among yourselves.
18 For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God come.
For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine again until the kingdom of God comes.”
19 And having taken a loaf, when he had given thanks, he broke [it], and gave [it] to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
20 In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
He took the cup in the same way after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
21 Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up [is] with me on the table;
But pay attention. The one who betrays me is with me at the table.
22 and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.
For the Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined. But woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”
23 And they began to question together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this.
They began to discuss among themselves which one of them it might be who would do this.
24 And there was also a strife among them which of them should be held to be [the] greatest.
Then there arose also a quarrel among them about which of them was considered to be greatest.
25 And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called benefactors.
He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles are masters over them, and the ones who have authority over them are referred to as those who do good to their people.
26 But ye [shall] not [be] thus; but let the greater among you be as the younger, and the leader as he that serves.
But it must not be like this with you. Instead, let the one who is the greatest among you become like the youngest, and let the one who is the most important become like the one who serves.
27 For which [is] greater, he that is at table or he that serves? [Is] not he that is at table? But I am in the midst of you as the one that serves.
For who is greater, the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? Is it not the one who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as one who serves.
28 But ye are they who have persevered with me in my temptations.
But you are the ones who have continued with me in my temptations.
29 And I appoint unto you, as my Father has appointed unto me, a kingdom,
I give to you a kingdom, even as my Father has given a kingdom to me,
30 that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, to sift [you] as wheat;
Simon, Simon, be aware, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat.
32 but I have besought for thee that thy faith fail not; and thou, when once thou hast been restored, confirm thy brethren.
But I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail. After you have turned back again, strengthen your brothers.”
33 And he said to him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.
Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.”
34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, [the] cock shall not crow to-day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, before you deny three times that you know me.”
35 And he said to them, When I sent you without purse and scrip and sandals, did ye lack anything? And they said, Nothing.
Then Jesus said to them, “When I sent you out without a purse, a bag of provisions, or shoes, did you lack anything?” They answered, “Nothing.”
36 He said therefore to them, But now he that has a purse let him take [it], in like manner also a scrip, and he that has none let him sell his garment and buy a sword;
Then he said to them, “But now, the one who has a purse, let him take it, and also a bag of provisions. The one who does not have a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.
37 for I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned with [the] lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end.
For I say to you, what is written about me must be fulfilled, 'He was counted with the lawless ones.' For what is predicted about me is being fulfilled.”
38 And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
Then they said, “Lord, look! Here are two swords.” He said to them, “It is enough.”
39 And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him.
Jesus went, as he often did, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.
40 And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
When they arrived, he said to them, “Pray that you do not enter into temptation.”
41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and having knelt down he prayed,
He went away from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
42 saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: — but then, not my will, but thine be done.
saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless not my will, but yours be done.”
43 And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him.
Then an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
44 And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth.
Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.
45 And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief.
When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of their sorrow,
46 And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation.
and asked them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray, that you may not enter into temptation.”
47 As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.
While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd appeared, with Judas, one of the twelve, leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him,
48 And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss?
but Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49 And they who were around him, seeing what was going to follow, said [to him], Lord, shall we smite with [the] sword?
When those who were around Jesus saw what was happening, they said, “Lord, should we strike with the sword?”
50 And a certain one from among them smote the bondman of the high priest and took off his right ear.
Then one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 And Jesus answering said, Suffer thus far; and having touched his ear, he healed him.
Jesus said, “That is enough!” He touched his ear, and healed him.
52 And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks?
Jesus said to the chief priests, to the captains of the temple, and to elders who came against him, “Do you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
53 When I was day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.
When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not lay your hands on me. But this is your hour, and the authority of darkness.”
54 And having laid hold on him, they led him [away], and they led [him] into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off.
Seizing him, they led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from a distance.
55 And they having lit a fire in the midst of the court and sat down together, Peter sat among them.
After they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them.
56 And a certain maid, having seen him sitting by the light, and having fixed her eyes upon him, said, And this [man] was with him.
A certain female servant saw him as he sat in the light of the fire, and looked straight at him and said, “This man also was with him.”
57 But he denied [him], saying, Woman, I do not know him.
But Peter denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.”
58 And after a short time another seeing him said, And thou art of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.
After a little while someone else saw him, and said, “You are also one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
59 And after the lapse of about one hour another stoutly maintained it, saying, In truth this [man] also was with him, for also he is a Galilaean.
After about an hour another man insisted and said, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean.”
60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, [the] cock crew.
But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying.” Immediately, while he was speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 And the Lord, turning round, looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before [the] cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice.
Turning, the Lord looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, when he said to him, “Before a rooster crows today you will deny me three times.”
62 And Peter, going forth without, wept bitterly.
Peter went outside and wept bitterly.
63 And the men who held him mocked him, beating [him];
Then the men guarding Jesus mocked and beat him.
64 and covering him up, asked him saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?
They put a cover over him and asked him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is the one who hit you?”
65 And they said many other injurious things to him.
They spoke many other things against Jesus, blaspheming him.
66 And when it was day, the elderhood of the people, both [the] chief priests and scribes, were gathered together, and led him into their council, saying,
As soon as it was day, the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. They led him into the council
67 If thou art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not at all believe;
and said, “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe,
68 and if I should ask [you], ye would not answer me at all, nor let me go;
and if I ask you, you will not answer.
69 but henceforth shall the Son of man be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.
But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
70 And they all said, Thou then art the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am.
They all said, “Then you are the Son of God?” Jesus said to them, “You say that I am.”
71 And they said, What need have we any more of witness, for we have heard ourselves out of his mouth?
They said, “Why do we still need a witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.”
