< Luke 22 >

1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
Now the feast of Matzah, which is called the Passover, drew near.
2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
The chief cohanim and the scribes sought how they might kill him, for they feared the people.
3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
Satan entered into Judah, who was called the Iskriot, who was numbered with the twelve.
4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
He went away, and talked with the chief cohanim and captains about how he might deliver him to them.
5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the crowd.
7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
The day of matzah came, on which the Passover lamb must be sacrificed.
8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat."
9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare?"
10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
He said to them, "Look, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.
11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
Tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my talmidim?"'
12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there."
13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
When the hour had come, he reclined at the table, and the emissaries joined him.
15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,
16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
for I say to you, I will not eat of it again until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God."
17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide [it] among yourselves:
He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, "Take this, and share it among yourselves,
18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
for I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the Kingdom of God comes."
19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake [it], and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
He took matzah, 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 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup [is] the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
Likewise, he took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me [is] with me on the table.
But look, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
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 enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.
24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.
25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
He said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called 'benefactors.'
26 But ye [shall] not [be] so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.
27 For whether [is] greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? [is] not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? But I am in the midst of you as one who serves.
28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on 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 hath desired [to have] you, that he may sift [you] as wheat:
And the Lord said, "Shim'on, Shim'on, look, Satan has demanded to have you all, to sift you like wheat,
32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
but I prayed for you, that your faith would not fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers."
33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
He 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 this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times."
35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
He said to them, "When I sent you out without money bag, and pack, and shoes, did you lack anything?" They said, "Nothing."
36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take [it], and likewise [his] scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Then he said to them, "But now, whoever has a money bag must take it, and likewise a pack. Whoever has none, must sell his cloak, and buy a sword.
37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: 'And he was numbered with transgressors.' For that which concerns me has an end."
38 And they said, Lord, behold, here [are] two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." He said to them, "That is enough."
39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His talmidim also followed him.
40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
When he was at the place, he said to them, "Pray that you do not enter into temptation."
41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless 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 there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
And an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the talmidim, and found them sleeping because of grief,
46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
and said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."
47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
While he was still speaking, look, a crowd came, and he who was called Judah, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Yeshua to kiss him.
48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
But Yeshua said to him, "Judah, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"
49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"
50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
A certain one of them struck the servant of the cohen hagadol, and cut off his right ear.
51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
But Yeshua answered and said, "No more of this." Then he touched his ear and healed him.
52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?
Yeshua said to the chief cohanim, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
When I was with you in the temple daily, you did not stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."
54 Then took they him, and led [him], and brought him into the high priest’s house. And Peter followed afar off.
They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the cohen hagadol's house. But Peter followed from a distance.
55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.
56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.
A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with him."
57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know him."
58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
After a little while someone else saw him, and said, "You also are one of them." But Peter answered, "Man, I am not."
59 And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this [fellow] also was with him: for he is a Galilæan.
After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "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 yet spake, the cock crew.
But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord's word, how he said to him, "Before the rooster crows today you will deny me three times."
62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
And he went out, and wept bitterly.
63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote [him].
The men who held him began mocking and beating him.
64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
And having blindfolded him, they were striking his face and kept asking him, saying, "Prophesy, who is the one who struck you?"
65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.
66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,
As soon as it was day, the council of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief cohanim and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,
67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
"If you are the Messiah, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you won't believe,
68 And if I also ask [you], ye will not answer me, nor let [me] go.
and if I ask, you will not answer me, or let me go.
69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."
70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?" He said to them, "You say that I am."
71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
They said, "Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth."
