Luke 22
1 Now the festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was drawing near.
Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
2 The high priest and the Scribes continually sought means to put him to death.
And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
3 Satan however, entered into Judas (the man called Iscariot), who was one of the twelve.
Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
4 And he went out and conferred with the chief priests and commanders
And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
5 They were delighted, and agreed to give him money.
And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6 He consented to this, and looked for an opportunity to betray him, when the people were not present.
And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the paschal lamb must be sacrificed.
Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
8 So Jesus went to Peter and Johnsaying, "Go and prepare for us the Passover, that we may eat it."
And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
9 "Where shall we get it ready?" they asked.
And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
10 He answered. "No sooner will you have entered the city than you will meet a man carrying a water-jug. Follow him into the house were he is going.
And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11 "And to the good man of the house say, ‘The teacher asks you, "Where is the room in which I can eat the Passover with my disciples?"‘
And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
12 "Then he will show you a large upper room furnished. There make your preparations."
And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
13 So they went and found everything as he had told them, they prepared the Passover.
And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
14 And when the hour was come he sat down, 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 desire have I longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
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 certainly will not eat again until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God."
For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 Then he had received a cup and given thanks, he said,
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide [it] among yourselves:
18 "Take this, and divide it among yourselves; for I tell you that I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God is come."
For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19 And he took a loaf, and after giving 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.’
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake [it], and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20 He gave them a cup in like manner, after supper saying. "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, poured out for your sake.
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup [is] the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 "But behold, the hand of my betrayer is at the table with me!
But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me [is] with me on the table.
22 "The Son of man indeed goes on his way, as it has been determined; but woe to that man by who he is betrayed."
And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
23 And they began to question among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do such a thing.
And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
24 And there arose also a dispute among them as to which of them could be considered the greatest,
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 lord it over them, and those who have who have authority over them are called Benefactors.
And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
26 "But you shall not be so. But he who is greater among you let him become like the younger; and he who is leader like him who serves.
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 which is greater, he who sits at table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at table? But I am in your midst 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 among you as he that serveth.
28 "You, however, are those who have stood by me in my trials.
Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
29 "And I promise you a kingdom, even as my Father has promised me a kingdom;
And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
30 "so that you shall eat and drink in my kingdom, and you shall sit on 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 "Simon, Simon," said the Lord, "behold, Satan has asked to have you all that he might 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 made supplication for you that your own faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned again, must strengthen your brothers."
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
33 "Lord," Simon said to him, "I am ready to go with you, both to prison and to death."
And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
34 "I tell you, Peter," he answered. "the cock will not crow this day until you will three times deny that you know me."
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
35 Moreover, he said to them, "When I sent you out without purse or wallet or sandals, did you lack anything?" They answered him, "We lacked nothing.’
And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
36 Then he said to them. "But now let him who has a purse take it, and he who has a wallet, let him the do the same. And he who has no sword, let him sell his cloak and buy one.
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take [it], and likewise [his] scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
37 "For I say to you that this word of Scripture must find it’s fulfilment in me. "And he was numbered among the transgressors, For that which concerns me has its accomplishment."
For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
38 "Master" they said, "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 Then he went out, and began to go to the Mount of Olives, as was his wont; and his disciples followed him.
And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
40 But he arrived at the place he said to them, "Pray that you enter not into temptation."
And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41 But he himself withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, kneeling down he prayed repeatedly, saying.
And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42 "Father, if thou art willing, take away this cup from me; but thy will, not mine, be done!"
Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43 (And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.
And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
44 (And being in agony he kept praying more earnestly; and his sweat became as if it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.)
And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45 When he arose from his prayers, and came to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
46 and said to them. "Why are you asleep? Get up, and pray that you enter not into temptation."
And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
47 While he was still speaking there came a crowd, and he who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus in order to kiss him,
And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
48 but Jesus said to him, "Judas, you are 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 who were around him, when they saw what was about to happen, said to him, "Lord, shall we strike with our swords?"
When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
50 Then one of them did strike a blow at the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear.
And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 "Permit me to do this at least," said Jesus, as he touched his ear and 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 corps of priests and captains of the temple and elders who had come out to arrest him. "Have ye come for me with swords and clubs to arrest me like a robber?
Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?
53 "When daily I was with you in the temple you did not stretch out your hands to take me; but this is your hour and 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 So they seized him and led him away, and took him to the house of the high priest; while Peter was following him a long way off.
Then took they him, and led [him], and brought him into the high priest’s house. And Peter followed afar off.
55 And when they had lighted a fire in the center of the court, and had sat down together, Peter was taking his seat among them.
And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
56 But a certain maid servant saw him taking his seat near the fire and, with a sharp glance at him, she said, "This fellow was with him, too!"
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 it, saying, "Woman, I know nothing about him."
And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
58 A little later a man saw him, and said, "You too are one of them" But Peter declared, "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 But an hour afterwards another man kept insisting, saying. "Really, this fellow was with him. Why, he is a Galilean."
And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this [fellow] also was with him: for he is a Galilæan.
60 "Man," said Peter, "I do not know what you mean." And immediately, while he was still speaking, the cock crew.
And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
61 Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter, and Peter recollected the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, "This very day, before the cock 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 unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
62 And Peter went outside and wept with bitter crying.
And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
63 Meanwhile the men who were holding Jesus in custody kept mocking and striking him.
And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote [him].
64 They would blindfold him and ask him. "Prophesy! Tell who 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 they said many other insulting things against him.
And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
66 When it became the day the elders if the people met with the high priests and the Scribes and had brought before the Sanhedrin, saying.
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, saying,
67 "Are you the Christ? Tell us!" "If I tell you," he answered, "you will not believe;
Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
68 "And if I ask you, you will not answer.
And if I also ask [you], ye will not answer me, nor let [me] go.
69 "But from henceforth the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."
Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
70 Then they all said, "Are you then the Son of God."
Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
71 "What need we of further evidence? for we ourselves have heard it from his own lips."
And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
