< Luke 22 >

1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the passover, was drawing near;
Now the feast of Matzah, which is called the Passover, drew near.
2 and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking 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 called Iscariot, who was 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 consulted with the chief priests and captains, how he might 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 glad, and covenanted to give him money.
They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
6 And he agreed with them, and sought a good opportunity to deliver him up to them in the absence of the multitude.
He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the crowd.
7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must 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 make ready for us the passover, that we may eat it.
He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat."
9 And they said to him, Where wilt thou that we make it ready?
They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare?"
10 And he said to them, Lo! when ye have entered the city, there will meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goeth 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 saith 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 show you a large upper room furnished; there make ready.
He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there."
13 And they went and found as he had said to them; and they made ready the passover.
They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
14 And when the hour had come, he placed himself at table, and the apostles with him.
When the hour had come, he reclined at the table, and the emissaries joined him.
15 And he said to them, Earnestly 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 I shall eat it no more, 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 he took a cup, and gave thanks, and 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 to you, that I shall not drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall have 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 he took a loaf, and gave thanks, and 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 And in like manner he took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is about to be shed 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 But lo! the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
But look, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
22 For the Son of man indeed goeth away, as it hath been determined; but woe to that man by whom he is 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, which of them it was that was about to do this.
They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.
24 And there arose also a contention among them, which of them should be accounted 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 as lords over them, and they who 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 it is not to be so with you; but let the greatest among you be as the youngest; and he that is chief, as he that serveth.
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 who reclineth at the table, or he who serveth? Is not he that reclineth at the table? But I am in the midst of you as he who serveth.
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 Ye however are they who have continued steadfastly with me in my trials.
But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
29 And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father appointed to me;
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 ye shall 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 Simon, Simon, lo! Satan hath asked for you, that he may 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 prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not. And do thou, when thou hast returned to me, strengthen 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, I am ready to go with thee 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, a cock will not crow this day, till thou hast thrice denied 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, or bag, or sandals, were ye in need of anything? And they said, Of nothing. Then he said to them,
He said to them, "When I sent you out without money bag, and pack, and shoes, did you lack anything?" They said, "Nothing."
36 But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag; and he that hath not, 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 to you, that this which is written must be accomplished in me: “And he was reckoned among transgressors.” For that which concerneth me also hath 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 him, It is enough!
They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." He said to them, "That is enough."
39 And going out, he went, as he was wont, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples 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 may not enter into temptation.
When he was at the place, he said to them, "Pray that you do not enter into temptation."
41 And he withdrew from them 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 thou art willing to remove this cup from me—yet 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 there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.
And an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
44 And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly. And his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling 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 rising up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,
When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the talmidim, and found them sleeping because of grief,
46 and said to them, Why sleep ye? Rise, and pray that ye may not 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 yet speaking, lo! a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, was at the head of them; and he 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 But Jesus said to him, Judas, dost thou 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 And they who were about him, seeing what would follow, said, 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 one of them smote the servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear.
A certain one of them struck the servant of the cohen hagadol, and cut off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answering said, Permit thus far; and touched his ear, and healed him.
But Yeshua answered and said, "No more of this." Then he touched his ear and healed him.
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders who had come to him, Ye have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs;
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 daily with you in the temple, ye did not put forth 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 they seized him, and led him away, and brought 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 when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

56 But a certain maid-servant saw him sitting at the fire, and steadily looking at him said, This man also 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 And 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 little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art one of them. And 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 in about one hour's time, another confidently affirmed, saying, In truth this man also was with him; for 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, a 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 turned and looked upon Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, that he had said to him, Before a cock crows this day, thou wilt thrice deny me.
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 he went out, and wept bitterly.
And he went out, and wept bitterly.
63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and beat him;
The men who held him began mocking and beating him.
64 and having blindfolded him, they 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 many other things did they scoffingly say against him.
They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.
66 And when it was day, the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together, and brought him before 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 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 ask, ye will not answer.
and if I ask, you will not answer me, or let me go.
69 But from this time the Son of man will sit 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 Then they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say what is true; for 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 further need have we of testimony? For we have ourselves heard from his own mouth.
They said, "Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth."
