Luke 22
1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.
Meanwhile the Festival of the Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,
2 The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.
and the High Priests and the Scribes were contriving how to destroy Him. But they feared the people.
3 Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve.
Satan, however, entered into Judas (the man called Iscariot) who was one of the Twelve.
4 He went away and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.
He went and conferred with the High Priests and Commanders as to how he should deliver Him up to them.
5 They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
This gave them great pleasure, and they agreed to pay him.
6 He consented and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.
He accepted their offer, and then looked out for an opportunity to betray Him when the people were not there.
7 The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed.
When the day of the Unleavened Bread came--the day for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed--
8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”
Jesus sent Peter and John with instructions. "Go," He said, "and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it."
9 They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”
"Where shall we prepare it?" 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.
"You will no sooner have entered the city," He replied, "than you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him into the house to which he goes,
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 say to the master of the house, "'The Rabbi asks you, Where is the room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?'
12 He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”
"And he will show you a large furnished room upstairs. There make your preparations."
13 They went, found things as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
So they went and found all as He had told them; and they got the Passover ready.
14 When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.
When the time was come, and He had taken 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,
He said to them, "Earnestly have I longed 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 certainly shall not eat one again till its full meaning has been brought out 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, having received the cup and given thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves;
18 for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until God’s Kingdom comes.”
for I tell you that from this time I will never drink the produce of the vine 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, taking a Passover biscuit, He gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body which is being given on your behalf: this do in remembrance 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.
He gave them the cup in like manner, when the meal was over. "This cup," He said, "is the new Covenant ratified by my blood which is to be poured out on your behalf.
21 But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
Yet the hand of him who is betraying me is at the table with me.
22 The Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”
For indeed the Son of Man goes on His way--His pre-destined way; yet alas for that man who is betraying Him!"
23 They began to question among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.
Thereupon they began to discuss with one another which of them it could possibly be who was about to do this.
24 A dispute also arose among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.
There arose also a dispute among them which of them should be regarded as 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.’
But He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles are their masters, and those who exercise authority over them are called 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.
With you it is not so; but let the greatest among you be as the younger, and the leader be 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.
For which is the greater--he who sits at table, or he who waits on him? Is it not he who sits at table? But my position among you is that of one who waits on others.
28 “But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
You however have remained with me amid my trials;
29 I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,
and I covenant to give you, as my Father has covenanted to give me, a Kingdom--
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 shall eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and sit on thrones as judges over 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, I tell you that Satan has obtained permission to have all of you to sift as wheat is sifted.
32 but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”
But I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail, and you, when at last you have come back to your true self, must strengthen your brethren."
33 He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”
"Master," replied 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," said Jesus, "that the cock will not crow to-day till you have three times denied that you know me."
35 He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, bag, and sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”
Then He asked them, "When I sent you out without purse or bag or shoes, was there anything you needed?" "No, nothing," they replied.
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.
"But now," said He, "let the one who has a purse take it, and he who has a bag must do the same. And let him who has no sword sell his outer garment and buy one.
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 those words of Scripture must yet find their fulfilment in me: 'And He was reckoned among the lawless'; for indeed that saying about me has its accomplishment."
38 They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”
"Master, here are two swords," they exclaimed. "That is enough," He replied.
39 He came out and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.
On going out, He proceeded as usual to the Mount of Olives, and His disciples followed Him.
40 When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”
But when He arrived at the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not come into temptation."
41 He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
But He Himself withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed repeatedly, saying,
42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”
"Father, if it be Thy will, take this cup away from me; yet not my will but Thine be done!"
43 An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
And there appeared to Him an angel from Heaven, strengthening Him;
44 Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
while He--an agony of distress having come upon Him--prayed all the more with intense earnestness, and His sweat became like clots of blood dropping on the ground.
45 When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief,
When He rose from his prayer and came to His disciples, He 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 sleeping?" He said; "stand up; and pray that you may not come 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 there came a crowd with Judas, already mentioned as one of the Twelve, at their head. He went up to Jesus to kiss Him.
48 But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”
"Judas," said Jesus, "are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"
49 When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
Those who were about Him, seeing what was likely to happen, asked Him, "Master, shall we strike with the sword?"
50 A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
And one of them struck a blow at 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.
"Permit me thus far," said Jesus. And He touched the ear and healed it.
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 Jesus said to the High Priests and Commanders of the Temple and Elders, who had come to arrest Him, "Have you come out as if to fight with a robber, with swords and cudgels?
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.”
While day after day I was with you in the Temple, you did not lay hands upon me; but to you belongs this hour--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.
And they arrested Him and led Him away, and brought Him to the High Priest's house, while Peter followed a good way behind.
55 When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.
And when they had lighted a fire in the middle of the court and had seated themselves in a group round it, Peter was sitting among 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.”
when a maidservant saw him sitting by the fire, and, looking fixedly at him, she said, "This man also was with him."
57 He denied Jesus, saying, “Woman, I don’t know him.”
But he denied it, and declared, "Woman, I do not know him."
58 After a little while someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them!” But Peter answered, “Man, I am not!”
Shortly afterwards a man saw him and said, "You, too, are one of them." "No, man, I am not," said Peter.
59 After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!”
After an interval of about an hour some one else stoutly maintained: "Certainly this fellow also was with him, for in fact he is a Galilaean."
60 But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
"Man, I don't know what you mean," replied Peter. No sooner had he spoken than 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.”
The Master turned and looked on Peter; and Peter recollected the Master's words, how He had said to him, "This very day, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times."
62 He went out, and wept bitterly.
And he went out and wept aloud bitterly.
63 The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.
Meanwhile the men who held Jesus in custody repeatedly beat Him in cruel sport,
64 Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”
or blindfolded Him, and then challenged Him. "Prove to us," they said, "that you are a prophet, by telling us who it was that struck you."
65 They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.
And they said many other insulting things to 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,
As soon as it was day, the whole body of the Elders, both High Priests and Scribes, assembled. Then He was brought into their Sanhedrin, and they asked Him,
67 “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you won’t believe,
"Are you the Christ? Tell us." "If I tell you," He replied, "you will certainly not believe;
68 and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.
and if I ask you questions, you will certainly 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 time forward the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of God's omnipotence."
70 They all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You say it, because I am.”
Thereupon they cried out with one voice, "You, then, are the Son of God?" "It is as you say," He answered; "I am He."
71 They said, “Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!”
"What need have we of further evidence?" they said; "for we ourselves have heard it from his own lips."
