< Luke 22 >

1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, drew near.
Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the pasch, was at hand.
2 The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him, for they feared the people.
And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put Jesus to death: but they feared the people.
3 Satan entered into Judas, who was called Iscariot, who was numbered with the twelve.
And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.
4 He went away, and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.
And he went, and discoursed with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might betray him to them.
5 They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6 He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the crowd.
And he promised. And he sought opportunity to betray him in the absence of the multitude.
7 The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover lamb must be sacrificed.
And the day of the unleavened bread came, on which it was necessary that the pasch should be killed.
8 He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat."
And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, and prepare for us the pasch, that we may eat.
9 They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare?"
But they said: Where wilt thou that we prepare?
10 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.
And he said to them: Behold, as you go into the city, there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11 Tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"'
And you shall say to the goodman of the house: The master saith to thee, Where is the guest chamber, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples?
12 He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there."
And he will shew you a large dining room, furnished; and there prepare.
13 They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
And they going, found as he had said to them, and made ready the pasch.
14 When the hour had come, he reclined at the table, and the apostles joined him.
And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
15 He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,
And he said to them: With desire I have desired to eat this pasch with you, before I suffer.
16 for I say to you, I will not eat of it again until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God."
For I say to you, that from this time I will not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, "Take this, and share it among yourselves,
And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and said: Take, and divide it among you:
18 for I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."
For I say to you, that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, till the kingdom of God come.
19 He took bread, 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."
And taking bread, he gave thanks, and brake; and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me.
20 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.
In like manner the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.
21 But look, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
But yet behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
22 The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed."
And the Son of man indeed goeth, according to that which is determined: but yet, woe to that man by whom he shall be betrayed.
23 They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.
And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
24 There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.
And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should seem to be the greater.
25 He said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called 'benefactors.'
And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them, are called beneficent.
26 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.
But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is the leader, as he that serveth.
27 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.
For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth:
28 But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations:
29 I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,
And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom;
30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon, look, Satan has demanded to have you all, to 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 prayed for you, that your faith would not fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers."
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.
33 He said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death."
Who said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
34 He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times."
And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me. And he said to them:
35 He said to them, "When I sent you out without money bag, and pack, and shoes, did you lack anything?" They said, "Nothing."
When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, did you want anything?
36 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.
But they said: Nothing. Then said he unto them: But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip; and he that hath not, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword.
37 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."
For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me: And with the wicked was he reckoned. For the things concerning me have an end.
38 They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." He said to them, "That is enough."
But they said: Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
39 He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.
And going out, he went, according to his custom, to the mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him.
40 When he was at the place, he said to them, "Pray that you do not enter into temptation."
And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
41 He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
And he was withdrawn away from them a stone’s cast; and kneeling down, he prayed,
42 saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."
Saying: Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me: but yet not my will, but thine be done.
43 And an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony, he prayed the longer.
44 Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground.
45 When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief,
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 do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."
And he said to them: Why sleep you? arise, pray, lest you enter into temptation.
47 While he was still speaking, look, a crowd came, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.
As 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, for to kiss him.
48 But Jesus said to him, "Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"
And Jesus said to him: Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?
49 When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"
And they that were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword?
50 A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answered and said, "No more of this." Then he touched his ear and healed him.
But Jesus answering, said: Suffer ye thus far. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.
52 Jesus 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?
And Jesus said to the chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and the ancients, that were come unto him: Are ye come out, as it were against a thief, with swords and clubs?
53 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."
When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
54 They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from a distance.
And apprehending him, they led him to the high priest’s house. But Peter followed afar off.
55 When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.
And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were sitting about it, Peter was in the midst of them.
56 A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with him."
Whom when a certain servant maid had seen sitting at the light, and had earnestly beheld him, she said: This man also was with him.
57 But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know him."
But he denied him, saying: Woman, I know him not.
58 After a little while someone else saw him, and said, "You also are one of them." But Peter answered, "Man, I am not."
And after a little while, another seeing him, said: Thou also art one of them. But Peter said: O man, I am not.
59 After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean."
And after the space, as it were of one hour, another certain man affirmed, saying: Of a truth, this man was also with him; for he is also a Galilean.
60 But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
And Peter said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, as he was yet speaking, the cock crew.
61 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."
And the Lord turning looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, as he had said: Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
62 And he went out, and wept bitterly.
And Peter going out, wept bitterly.
63 The men who held him began mocking and beating him.
And the men that held him, mocked him, and struck him.
64 And having blindfolded him, they were striking his face and kept asking him, saying, "Prophesy, who is the one who struck you?"
And they blindfolded him, and smote his face. And they asked him, saying: Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?
65 They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.
And blaspheming, many other things they said against him.
66 As soon as it was day, the council of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,
And as soon as it was day, the ancients of the people, and the chief priests and scribes, came together; and they brought him into their council, saying: If thou be the Christ, tell us.
67 "If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you won't believe,
And he saith to them: If I shall tell you, you will not believe me.
68 and if I ask, you will not answer me, or let me go.
And if I shall also ask you, you will not answer me, nor let me go.
69 From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."
But hereafter the Son of man shall be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.
70 They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?" He said to them, "You say that I am."
Then said they all: Art thou then the Son of God? Who said: You say that I am.
71 They said, "Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth."
And they said: What need we any further testimony? for we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth.
