Luke 22
1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,
Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
2 and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death; for they feared the people.
And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death; for they feared the people.
3 Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.
And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
4 And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.
And he went away, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him unto them.
5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.
And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6 Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.
And he consented, and sought opportunity to deliver him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.
And the day of unleavened bread came, on which the passover must be sacrificed.
8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare for us to eat the Passover.”
And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may eat.
9 “Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.
And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we make ready?
10 He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,
And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house whereinto he goeth.
11 and say to the owner of that house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’
And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
12 And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”
And he will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
13 So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.
And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
14 When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles.
And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the apostles with him.
15 And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.
And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
16 For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
for I say unto you, I will not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.
And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18 For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”
for I say unto you, I will not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19 And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20 In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you.
And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, [even] that which is poured out for you.
21 Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.
But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
22 Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”
For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been determined: but woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed!
23 Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.
And they began to question among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
24 A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them would be considered the greatest.
And there arose also a contention among them, which of them is accounted to be greatest.
25 So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.
And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors.
26 But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.
But ye [shall] not [be] so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
27 For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am among you as one who serves.
For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth.
28 You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.
But ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations;
29 And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,
and I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me,
30 so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat.
Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:
32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not: and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, stablish thy brethren.
33 “Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”
And he said unto him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.
34 But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, until thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.
And he said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
36 “Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.
And he said unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet: and he that hath none, let him sell his cloke, and buy a sword.
37 For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.”
For I say unto you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned with transgressors: for that which concerneth me hath fulfillment.
38 So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.
And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.
And he came out, and went, as his custom was, unto the mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed him.
40 When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”
And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41 And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,
And he was parted from them about a stone’s cast; and he kneeled down and prayed,
42 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”
saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.
And there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.
44 And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.
And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.
45 When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.
And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,
46 “Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”
and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.
47 While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.
While he yet spake, behold, a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
48 But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
49 Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”
And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
And a certain one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.
But Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple officers, and elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against an outlaw?
And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, which were come against him, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves?
53 Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on Me. But this hour belongs to you and to the power of darkness.”
When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
54 Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.
And they seized him, and led him [away], and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed afar off.
55 When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.
And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them.
56 A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.
And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light [of the fire], and looking stedfastly upon him, said, This man also was with him.
57 But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.
But he denied, saying, Woman, I know him not.
58 A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art [one] of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.
59 About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”
And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this man also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.
60 “Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. While he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
But Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word that the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”
And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said unto him, Before the cock crow this day, thou shalt deny me thrice.
62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
And he went out, and wept bitterly.
63 The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.
And the men that held [Jesus] mocked him, and beat him.
64 They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”
And they blindfolded him, and asked him, saying, Prophesy: who is he that struck thee?
65 And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.
And many other things spake they against him, reviling him.
66 At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, met together. They led Jesus into their Sanhedrin and said,
And as soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away into their council, saying,
67 “If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.
If thou art the Christ, tell us. But he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
68 And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.
and if I ask [you], ye will not answer.
69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
But from henceforth shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power of God.
70 So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”
And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
71 “Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”
And they said, What further need have we of witness? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.
