Luke 22
1 Now the days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called Passover, were approaching.
Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
2 And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, were seeking a way to execute Jesus. Yet truly, they were afraid of the people.
And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him: for they feared the people.
3 Then Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.
Then Satan entered into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
4 And he went out and was speaking with the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates, as to how he might hand him over to them.
And he went, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him to them.
5 And they were glad, and so they made an agreement to give him money.
And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6 And he made a promise. And he was seeking an opportunity to hand him over, apart from the crowds.
And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of the multitude.
7 Then the day of Unleavened Bread arrived, on which it was necessary to kill the Pascal lamb.
Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, “Go out, and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat.”
And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare for us the passover, that we may eat.
9 But they said, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”
And they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
10 And he said to them: “Behold, as you are entering into the city, a certain man will meet you, carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him to the house into which he enters.
And he said to them, Behold, when ye have entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth.
11 And you shall say to the father of the household: ‘The Teacher says to you: Where is the guestroom, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’
And ye shall say to the master of the house, The Master saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
12 And he will show you a large cenacle, fully furnished. And so, prepare it there.”
And he will show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
13 And going out, they found it to be just as he had told them. And they prepared the Passover.
And they went and found as he had said to them: and they made ready the passover.
14 And when the hour had arrived, he sat down at table, and the twelve Apostles with him.
And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
15 And he said to them: “With longing have I desired to eat this Passover with you, before I suffer.
And he said to them, I have earnestly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.
16 For I say to you, that from this time, I will not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
For I say to you, I will not any more eat of it until it shall be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and he said: “Take this and share it among yourselves.
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide [it] among yourselves.
18 For I say to you, that I will not drink from the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God arrives.”
For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19 And taking bread, he gave thanks and broke it and gave it to them, saying: “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this as a commemoration of me.”
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke [it], and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20 Similarly also, he took the chalice, after he had eaten the meal, saying: “This chalice is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you.
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup [is] the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 But in truth, behold, the hand of my betrayer is with me at table.
But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me [is] with me on the table.
22 And indeed, the Son of man goes according to what has been determined. And yet, woe to that man by whom he will be betrayed.”
And truly the Son of man goeth as it was determined: but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!
23 And they began to inquire among themselves, as to which of them might do this.
And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
24 Now there was also a contention among them, as to which of them seemed to be the greater.
And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
25 And he said to them: “The kings of the Gentiles dominate them; and those who hold authority over them are called beneficent.
And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them, are called benefactors.
26 But it must not be so with you. Instead, whoever is greater among you, let him become the lesser. And whoever is the leader, let him become the server.
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.
27 For who is greater: he who sits at table, or he who serves? Is not he who sits at table? Yet I am in your midst as one who serves.
For which [is] greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? [is] not he that sitteth at table? but I am among you as he that serveth.
28 But you are those who have remained with me during my trials.
Ye are they who have continued with me in my temptations.
29 And I dispose to you, just as my Father has disposed to me, a kingdom,
And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed to me;
30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and so that you may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 And the Lord said: “Simon, Simon! Behold, Satan has asked for you, so that he may sift you like wheat.
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired [to have] you, that he may sift [you] as wheat:
32 But I have prayed for you, so that your faith may not fail, and so that you, once converted, may confirm your brothers.”
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
33 And he said to him, “Lord, I am prepared to go with you, even to prison and to death.”
And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee both into prison, and to death.
34 And he said, “I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you have three times denied that you know me.” And he said to them,
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock will not crow this day, before thou wilt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
35 “When I sent you without money or provisions or shoes, did you lack anything?”
And he said to them, When I sent you without purse, and sack, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
36 And they said, “Nothing.” Then he said to them: “But now, let whoever has money take it, and likewise with provisions. And whoever does not have these, let him sell his coat and buy a sword.
Then said he to them, But now he that hath a purse, let him take [it], and likewise [his] sack: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
37 For I say to you, that what has been written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was esteemed with the wicked.’ Yet even these things about me have an end.”
For I say to you, that this which is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
38 So they said, “Lord, behold, there are two swords here.” But he said to them, “It is sufficient.”
And they said, Lord, behold, here [are] two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
39 And departing, he went out, according to his custom, to the Mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him.
And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
40 And when he had arrived at the place, he said to them: “Pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
And when he was at the place, he said to them, Pray, that ye enter not into temptation.
41 And he was separated from them by about a stone’s throw. And kneeling down, he prayed,
And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed.
42 saying: “Father, if you are willing, take this chalice away from me. Yet truly, let not my will, but yours, be done.”
Saying, Father, if thou art willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done.
43 Then an Angel appeared to him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in agony, he prayed more intensely;
And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.
44 and so his sweat became like drops of blood, running down to the ground.
And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground.
45 And when he had risen up from prayer and had gone to his disciples, he found them sleeping out of sorrow.
And when he arose from prayer, and had come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow:
46 And he said to them: “Why are you sleeping? Rise up, pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
And said to them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
47 While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd arrived. And he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, went ahead of them and approached Jesus, in order to kiss him.
And while he was yet speaking, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.
48 And Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?”
But Jesus said to him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
49 Then those who were around him, realizing what was about to happen, said to him: “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
When they who were about him, saw what would follow, they said to him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 But in response, Jesus said, “Permit even this.” And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.
And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
52 Then Jesus said to the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates of the temple, and the elders, who had come to him: “Have you gone out, as if against a thief, with swords and clubs?
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to him, Are ye come out as against a thief, with swords and staffs?
53 When I was with you each day in the temple, you did not extend your hands against me. But this is your hour and that of the power of darkness.”
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.
54 And apprehending him, they led him to the house of the high priest. Yet truly, Peter followed at a distance.
Then they took him, and led [him], and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed at a distance.
55 Now as they were sitting around a fire, which had been kindled in the middle of the atrium, Peter was in their midst.
And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
56 And when a certain woman servant had seen him sitting in its light, and had looked at him intently, she said, “This one was also with him.”
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.
57 But he denied him by saying, “Woman, I do not know him.”
And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
58 And after a little while, another one, seeing him, said, “You also are one of them.” Yet Peter said, “O man, I am not.”
And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
59 And after the interval of about one hour had passed, someone else affirmed it, saying: “Truly, this one also was with him. For he is also a Galilean.”
And about the space of one hour after, another confidently affirmed, saying, In truth this [man] also was with him; for he is a Galilean.
60 And Peter said: “Man, I do not know what you are saying.” And at once, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, the cock crowed.
61 And the Lord turned around and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord that he had said: “For before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, Before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me thrice.
62 And going out, Peter wept bitterly.
And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
63 And the men who were holding him ridiculed him and beat him.
And the men that held Jesus, mocked him, and smote [him].
64 And they blindfolded him and repeatedly struck his face. And they questioned him, saying: “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?”
And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
65 And blaspheming in many other ways, they spoke against him.
And many other things blasphemously they spoke against him.
66 And when it was daytime, the elders of the people, and the leaders of the priests, and the scribes convened. And they led him into their council, saying, “If you are the Christ, tell us.”
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,
67 And he said to them: “If I tell you, you will not believe me.
Saying, Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not believe.
68 And if I also question you, you will not answer me. Neither will you release me.
And if I also ask [you], ye will not answer me, nor let [me] go.
69 But from this time, the Son of man will be sitting at the right hand of the power of God.”
Hereafter will the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
70 Then they all said, “So you are the Son of God?” And he said. “You are saying that I am.”
Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am.
71 And they said: “Why do we still require testimony? For we have heard it ourselves, from his own mouth.”
And they said, What need have we of any further testimony? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.
