Luke 22
1 Now the days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called Passover, were approaching.
Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.
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.
The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.
3 Then Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.
Satan entered into Judah, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with 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.
He went away and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.
5 And they were glad, and so they made an agreement to give him money.
They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
6 And he made a promise. And he was seeking an opportunity to hand him over, apart from the crowds.
He consented and sought an opportunity to deliver 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.
The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed.
8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, “Go out, and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat.”
Yeshua sent Peter and Yochanan, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”
9 But they said, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”
They said to him, “Where do you want us to 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.
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.
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?’
Tell the master of the house, ‘The Rabbi says to you, “Where is the guest room, 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.”
He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”
13 And going out, they found it to be just as he had told them. And they prepared the Passover.
They went, found things as Yeshua had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
14 And when the hour had arrived, he sat down at table, and the twelve Apostles with him.
When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve emissaries.
15 And he said to them: “With longing have I 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 to you, that from this time, I will not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in God’s Kingdom.”
17 And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and he said: “Take this and share it among yourselves.
He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this and share it amongst 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 tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until God’s Kingdom comes.”
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.”
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.”
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, he took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
21 But in truth, behold, the hand of my betrayer is with me at table.
But behold, the hand of him who betrays 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.”
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 inquire among themselves, as to which of them might do this.
They began to question amongst themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.
24 Now there was also a contention among them, as to which of them seemed to be the greater.
A dispute also arose amongst them, which of them was considered to be greatest.
25 And he said to them: “The kings of the Gentiles dominate them; and those who hold authority over them are called beneficent.
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 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 not so with you. Rather, the one who is greater amongst you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.
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 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 amongst you as one who serves.
28 But you are those who have remained with me during my trials.
“But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
29 And I dispose to you, just as my Father has disposed to me, a kingdom,
I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on 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 you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will 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.
The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might 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 prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”
33 And he said to him, “Lord, I am prepared to go with you, even to 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 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,
He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times.”
35 “When I sent you without money or provisions or shoes, did you lack anything?”
He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, bag, and sandals, did you lack anything?” 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 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.
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 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.”
38 So they said, “Lord, behold, there are two swords here.” But he said to them, “It is sufficient.”
They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”
39 And departing, he went out, according to his custom, 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 disciples also followed him.
40 And when he had arrived at the place, he said to them: “Pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”
41 And he was separated from them by about a stone’s throw. And kneeling down, he prayed,
He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt 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 you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”
43 Then an Angel appeared to him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in agony, he prayed more intensely;
An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
44 and so his sweat became like drops of blood, running 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 had risen up from prayer and had gone to his disciples, he found them sleeping out of sorrow.
When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief,
46 And he said to them: “Why are you sleeping? Rise up, pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not 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.
While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared. He who was called Judah, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Yeshua to kiss him.
48 And Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?”
But Yeshua said to him, “Judah, do you betray 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 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 struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
A certain one of them struck 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.
But Yeshua answered, “Let me at least do this”—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?
Yeshua 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?
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 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.”
54 And apprehending him, they led him to the house of the high priest. Yet truly, Peter followed at a distance.
They seized him and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from 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.
When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat amongst 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.”
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 But he denied him by saying, “Woman, I do not know him.”
He denied Yeshua, saying, “Woman, I don’t know him.”
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.”
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 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.”
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 do not know what you are saying.” And at once, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster 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.”
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.”
62 And going out, Peter wept bitterly.
He went out, and wept bitterly.
63 And the men who were holding him ridiculed him and beat him.
The men who held Yeshua mocked him and beat him.
64 And they blindfolded him and repeatedly struck his face. And they questioned him, saying: “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?”
Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”
65 And blaspheming in many other ways, they spoke against him.
They spoke many other things against him, insulting 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.”
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,
67 And he said to them: “If I tell you, you will not believe me.
“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 question you, you will not answer me. Neither will you release me.
and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.
69 But from this time, the Son of man will be sitting at 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 they all said, “So you are the Son of God?” And he said. “You are saying that I am.”
They all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You say it, because I am.”
71 And they said: “Why do we still require testimony? For we have heard it ourselves, from his own mouth.”
They said, “Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!”
