Luke 22
1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.
The Feast of the Unleavened Bread, known as the Passover, was near.
2 The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.
The Chief Priest and the Teachers of the Law were looking for an opportunity of destroying Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.
3 Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve.
Now Satan took possession of Judas, who was known as Iscariot, and who belonged to the Twelve;
4 He went away and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.
and he went and discussed with the Chief Priests and Officers in charge at the Temple the best way of betraying Jesus to them.
5 They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
They were glad of this, and agreed to pay him.
6 He consented and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.
So Judas assented, and looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them, in the absence of a crowd.
7 The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed.
When the day of the Festival of the Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lambs had to be killed,
8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”
Jesus sent forward Peter and John, saying to them: “Go and make preparations for our eating the Passover.”
9 They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”
“Where do you wish us to make preparations?” they asked.
10 He said to them, “Behold, 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.
“Listen,” he answered, “when you have got into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into whatever house he enters;
11 Tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’
and you shall say to the owner of the house ‘The Teacher says to you — Where is the room where I am to eat the Passover with my disciples?’
12 He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”
The man will show you a large upstairs room, set out; there make preparations.”
13 They went, found things as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
So Peter and John went on, and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
14 When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.
When the time came, Jesus took his place at table, and the Apostles with him.
15 He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,
“I have most earnestly wished,” he said, “to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
16 for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in God’s Kingdom.”
For I tell you that I shall not eat it again, until it has had its fulfilment in the Kingdom of God.”
17 He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves,
Then, on receiving a cup, after saying the thanksgiving, he said:
18 for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until God’s Kingdom comes.”
“Take this and share it among you. For I tell you that I shall not, after to-day, drink of the juice of the grape, till the Kingdom of God has come.”
19 He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”
Then Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke it and gave to them, with the words: “This is my body, [which is now to be given on your behalf. Do this in memory of me.”]
20 Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
[And in the same way with the cup, after supper, saying: “This cup is the New Covenant made by my blood which is being poured out on your behalf. ]
21 But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
Yet see! the hand of the man that is betraying me is beside me upon the table!
22 The Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”
True, the Son of Man is passing, by the way ordained for him, yet alas for that man by whom he is being betrayed!”
23 They began to question among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.
Then they began questioning one another which of them it could be that was going to do this.
24 A dispute also arose among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.
And a dispute arose among them as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
25 He said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’
Jesus, however, said: “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their oppressors are styled ‘Benefactors.’
26 But not so with you. Rather, the one who is greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.
But with you it must not be so. No, let the greatest among you become like the youngest, and him who leads like him who serves.
27 For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn’t it he who sits at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
Which is the greater — the master at the table or his servant? Is not it the master at the table? Yet I myself am among you as one who serves.
28 “But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
You are the men who have stood by me in my trials;
29 I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,
and, just as my Father has assigned me a Kingdom, I assign you places,
30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
so that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and be seated upon twelve thrones as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might sift you as wheat,
Simon! Simon! listen. Satan demanded leave to sift you all like wheat,
32 but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”
but I prayed for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. And you, when you have returned to me, are to strengthen your Brothers.”
33 He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”
“Master,” said Peter, “with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death.”
34 He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times.”
“I tell you, Peter,” replied Jesus, “the cock will not crow to-day till you have disowned all knowledge of me three times.”
35 He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, bag, and sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”
Then he said to them all: “When I sent you out as my Messengers, without either purse, or bag, or sandals, were you in need of anything?” “No; nothing,” they answered.
36 Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.
“Now, however,” he said, “he who has a purse must take it and his bag as well; and he who has not must sell his cloak and buy a sword.
37 For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ For that which concerns me is being fulfilled.”
For, I tell you, that passage of Scripture must be fulfilled in me, which says — ‘He was counted among the godless’; indeed all that refers to me is finding its fulfilment.”
38 They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”
“Master,” they exclaimed, “look, here are two swords!” “Enough!” said Jesus.
39 He came out and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.
Jesus then went out, and made his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, followed by his disciples.
40 When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”
And, when he reached the spot, he said to them: “Pray that you may not fall into temptation.”
41 He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
Then he withdrew about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and began to pray.
42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”
“Father,” he said, “if it is thy pleasure, spare me this cup; only, not my will but thine be done.”
43 An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
Presently there appeared to him an angel from Heaven, who strengthened him.
44 Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
And, as his anguish became intense, he prayed still more earnestly, while his sweat was like great drops of blood falling on the ground.
45 When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief,
Then he rose from praying, and came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow.
46 and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
“Why are you asleep?” he asked them. “Rise and pray, that you may not fall into temptation.”
47 While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared. He who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.
While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared in sight, led by the man called Judas, who was one of the Twelve. Judas approached Jesus, to kiss him;
48 But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”
on which Jesus said to him: “Judas, is it by a kiss that you betray the Son of Man?”
49 When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
But when those who were round Jesus saw what was going to happen, they exclaimed: “Master, shall we use our swords?”
50 A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
And one of them struck the High Priest’s servant and cut off his right ear;
51 But Jesus answered, “Let me at least do this”—and he touched his ear and healed him.
on which Jesus said: “Let me at least do this”; and, touching his ear, he healed the wound.
52 Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
Then, turning to the Chief Priests and Officers in charge at the Temple and Councillors, who had come for him, he said: “Have you come out, as if after a robber, with swords and clubs?
53 When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn’t stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”
When I was with you day after day in the Temple Courts, you did not lay hands on me; but now your time has come, and the power of Darkness.”
54 They seized him and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance.
Those who had taken Jesus prisoner took him away into the house of the High Priest. Peter followed at a distance.
55 When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.
But, when they had lit a fire in the centre of the court-yard and had all sat down there, Peter seated himself in the middle of them.
56 A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with him.”
Presently a maidservant saw him sitting near the blaze of the fire. Fixing her eyes on him, she said: “Why, this man was one of his companions!”
57 He denied Jesus, saying, “Woman, I don’t know him.”
But Peter denied it. “I do not know him,” he replied.
58 After a little while someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them!” But Peter answered, “Man, I am not!”
A little while afterwards some one else — a man — saw him and said: “Why, you are one of them!” “No,” Peter said, “I am not.”
59 After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!”
About an hour later another man declared positively: “This man also was certainly with him. Why, he is a Galilean!”
60 But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
But Peter said: “I do not know what you are speaking about.” Instantly, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.
61 The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord’s word, how he said to him, “Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times.”
And the Master turned and looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the words that the Master had said to him — “Before a cock has crowed to-day, you will disown me three times”;
62 He went out, and wept bitterly.
and he went outside and wept bitterly.
63 The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.
The men that held Jesus kept making sport of him and beating him.
64 Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”
They blindfolded him and then questioned him. “Now play the Prophet,” they said; “who was it that struck you?”
65 They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.
And they heaped many other insults on him.
66 As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,
At daybreak the National Council met — both the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law — and took Jesus before their High Council.
67 “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you won’t believe,
“If you are the Christ,” they said, “tell us so.” “If I tell you,” replied Jesus, “you will not believe me;
68 and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.
and, if I question you, you will not answer.
69 From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
But from this hour ‘the Son of Man will be seated on the right hand of God Almighty.’”
70 They all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You say it, because I am.”
“Are you, then, the Son of God?” they all asked. “It is true,” answered Jesus, “I am.”
71 They said, “Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!”
At this they exclaimed: “Why do we want any more evidence? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!”
