< Luke 22 >

1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which [is] called the passover, drew nigh,
Now the feast of Matzah, which is called the Passover, drew near.
2 and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
The chief cohanim and the scribes sought how they might kill him, for they feared the people.
3 And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariote, being of the number of the twelve.
Satan entered into Judah, who was called the Iskriot, who was numbered with the twelve.
4 And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them.
He went away, and talked with the chief cohanim and captains about how he might deliver him to them.
5 And they were rejoiced, and agreed to give him money.
They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
6 And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd.
He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the crowd.
7 And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed.
The day of matzah came, on which the Passover lamb must be sacrificed.
8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat [it].
He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat."
9 But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare [it]?
They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare?"
10 And he said to them, Behold, as ye enter into the city a man will meet you, carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in;
He said to them, "Look, 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 ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
Tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my talmidim?"'
12 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there."
13 And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover.
They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
14 And when the hour was come, he placed himself at table, and the [twelve] apostles with him.
When the hour had come, he reclined at the table, and the emissaries joined him.
15 And he said to them, With desire I have 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 unto you, that I will not eat any more at all of it until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
for I say to you, I will not eat of it again until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God."
17 And having received a cup, when he had given thanks he said, Take this and divide it among yourselves.
He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, "Take this, and share it among yourselves,
18 For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God come.
for I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the Kingdom of God comes."
19 And having taken a loaf, when he had given thanks, he broke [it], and gave [it] to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
He took matzah, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
20 In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
Likewise, he took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
21 Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up [is] with me on the table;
But look, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
22 and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.
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 question together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this.
They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.
24 And there was also a strife among them which of them should be held to be [the] greatest.
There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.
25 And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called benefactors.
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 ye [shall] not [be] thus; but let the greater among you be as the younger, and the leader as he that serves.
But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.
27 For which [is] greater, he that is at table or he that serves? [Is] not he that is at table? But I am in the midst of you as the one that serves.
For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? But I am in the midst of you as one who serves.
28 But ye are they who have persevered with me in my temptations.
But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
29 And I appoint unto you, as my Father has appointed unto me, a kingdom,
I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,
30 that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, to sift [you] as wheat;
And the Lord said, "Shim'on, Shim'on, look, Satan has demanded to have you all, to sift you like wheat,
32 but I have besought for thee that thy faith fail not; and thou, when once thou hast been restored, confirm thy brethren.
but I prayed for you, that your faith would not fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers."
33 And he said to him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both 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 tell thee, Peter, [the] cock shall not crow to-day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times."
35 And he said to them, When I sent you without purse and scrip and sandals, did ye lack anything? And they said, Nothing.
He said to them, "When I sent you out without money bag, and pack, and shoes, did you lack anything?" They said, "Nothing."
36 He said therefore to them, But now he that has a purse let him take [it], in like manner also a scrip, and he that has none let him sell his garment and buy a sword;
Then he said to them, "But now, whoever has a money bag must take it, and likewise a pack. Whoever has none, must sell his cloak, and buy a sword.
37 for I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned with [the] lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end.
For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: 'And he was numbered with transgressors.' For that which concerns me has an end."
38 And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." He said to them, "That is enough."
39 And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him.
He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His talmidim also followed him.
40 And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
When he was at the place, he said to them, "Pray that you do not enter into temptation."
41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and having knelt down he prayed,
He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
42 saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: — but then, not my will, but thine be done.
saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."
43 And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him.
And an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
44 And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth.
Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
45 And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief.
When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the talmidim, and found them sleeping because of grief,
46 And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation.
and said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."
47 As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.
While he was still speaking, look, a crowd came, and 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, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss?
But Yeshua said to him, "Judah, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"
49 And they who were around him, seeing what was going to follow, said [to him], Lord, shall we smite 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 a certain one from among them smote the bondman of the high priest and took off his right ear.
A certain one of them struck the servant of the cohen hagadol, and cut off his right ear.
51 And Jesus answering said, Suffer thus far; and having touched his ear, he healed him.
But Yeshua answered and said, "No more of this." Then he touched his ear and healed him.
52 And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks?
Yeshua said to the chief cohanim, 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 day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.
When I was with you in the temple daily, you did not stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."
54 And having laid hold on him, they led him [away], and they led [him] into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off.
They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the cohen hagadol's house. But Peter followed from a distance.
55 And they having lit a fire in the midst of the court and sat down together, Peter sat among them.
When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.
56 And a certain maid, having seen him sitting by the light, and having fixed her eyes upon him, said, And this [man] was 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], saying, Woman, I do not know him.
But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know him."
58 And after a short time another seeing him said, And thou art of them. But Peter said, 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 lapse of about one hour another stoutly maintained it, saying, In truth this [man] also was with him, for also he is a Galilaean.
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 know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, [the] cock crew.
But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 And the Lord, turning round, looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before [the] cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice.
The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord's word, how he said to him, "Before the rooster crows today you will deny me three times."
62 And Peter, going forth without, wept bitterly.
And he went out, and wept bitterly.
63 And the men who held him mocked him, beating [him];
The men who held him began mocking and beating him.
64 and covering him up, asked him saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?
And having blindfolded him, they were striking his face and kept asking him, saying, "Prophesy, who is the one who struck you?"
65 And they said many other injurious things to him.
They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.
66 And when it was day, the elderhood of the people, both [the] chief priests and scribes, were gathered together, and led him into their council, saying,
As soon as it was day, the council of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief cohanim and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,
67 If thou art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not at all believe;
"If you are the Messiah, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you won't believe,
68 and if I should ask [you], ye would not answer me at all, nor let me go;
and if I ask, you will not answer me, or let me go.
69 but henceforth shall the Son of man be sitting on 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 And they all said, Thou then art the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am.
They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?" He said to them, "You say that I am."
71 And they said, What need have we any more of witness, for we have heard ourselves out of his mouth?
They said, "Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth."
