Luke 22
1 And the feast of the unleavened bread, which is called a Passover, was drawing near.
Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
2 And the High-priests and the Scribes were seeking, how they might get rid of him; for they feared the people.
And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him: for they feared the people.
3 But Satan entered into Judas, him called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve;
Then Satan entered into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
4 and, departing, he conversed with the High-priests and Captains, as to how, unto them, he might deliver him up.
And he went, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him to them.
5 And they rejoiced, and bargained with him to give him, silver;
And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6 and he freely consented, and began seeking a good opportunity for delivering him up, in the absence of a multitude, unto them.
And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of the multitude.
7 Now the day of the unleavened bread a came, —on which it was needful to be sacrificing the passover.
Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
8 And he sent forth Peter and John, saying—Go, and make ready, for us, the passover, that we may eat.
And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare for us the passover, that we may eat.
9 And, they, said unto him—Where wiliest thou, we should make ready?
And they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
10 And, he, said unto them—Lo! when ye have entered into the city, there will meet you a man, bearing, an earthen-jar of water: follow him into the house into which he is entering.
And he said to them, Behold, when ye have entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth.
11 And ye shall say unto the master of the house—The teacher saith unto thee, where is the lodging, where, the passover, with my disciples, I may eat?
And ye shall say to the master of the house, The Master saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
12 And, he, unto you, will shew, a large upper room, spread: there, make ready.
And he will show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
13 And, departing, they found according as he had said unto them, and made ready the passover.
And they went and found as he had said to them: and they made ready the passover.
14 And, when the hour arrived, he reclined, and the apostles with him.
And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
15 And he said unto them—I have greatly desired, to eat, this passover, with you before I suffer;
And he said to them, I have earnestly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.
16 For, I say unto you—In nowise shall I eat it, until it have been fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
For I say to you, I will not any more eat of it until it shall be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 And, accepting a cup, giving thanks, he said—Take this, and divide among yourselves;
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide [it] among yourselves.
18 For, I say unto you—In nowise shall I drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until, the kingdom of God, shall come.
For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19 And, taking a loaf, he gave thanks, and brake, and gave unto them, saying—This is my body which in your behalf is being given: this, be ye doing, in remembrance, of me.
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke [it], and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20 And—the cup, in like manner, after the taking of supper, saying—This cup, is the new covenant in my blood, which, in your behalf, is to be poured out.
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup [is] the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 Nevertheless, lo! the hand of him who is delivering me up, is with me upon the table.
But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me [is] with me on the table.
22 Because, the Son of Man, indeed, according to what is marked out, goeth his way; nevertheless, alas! for that man through whom he is being delivered up.
And truly the Son of man goeth as it was determined: but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!
23 And, they, began to be enquiring together, among themselves, as to which, then, it could be, from among them, who, this thing, was about to perpetrate!
And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
24 And it came to pass that there was, a rivalry also, among them, as to which of them seemed to be greater [than the rest].
And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
25 And, he, said unto them—The kings of the nations, lord it over them, and, they who wield authority over them, benefactors, are called.
And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them, are called benefactors.
26 But, ye, not so! On the contrary—the greater among you, Let him become as, the younger, and, he that governeth, as, he that ministereth,
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 that reclineth? or he that ministereth? Is not he that reclineth? But, I, am, in your midst, as he that ministereth,
For which [is] greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? [is] not he that sitteth at table? but I am among you as he that serveth.
28 Ye, however, are they who have remained throughout with me in my temptations;
Ye are they who have continued with me in my temptations.
29 And, I, covenant unto you—as my Father hath covenanted unto me—a kingdom,
And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed to me;
30 That ye may eat and drink, at my table, in my kingdom, and sit upon 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! lo! Satan, hath claimed you, to sift as wheat;
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired [to have] you, that he may sift [you] as wheat:
32 But, I, have entreated for thee, that thy faith may not fail. And, thou, once thou hast turned, strengthen thy brethren.
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
33 But, he, said unto him—Lord! with thee, am I, ready, both into prison and unto death, to be going.
And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee both into prison, and to death.
34 And, he, said: I tell thee, Peter—A cock will not crow this day, until, thrice, thou deny that thou knowest me.
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock will not crow this day, before thou wilt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
35 And he said unto them—When I sent you forth, without purse or satchel or sandals, of anything, came ye short? And, they, said—Of nothing!
And he said to them, When I sent you without purse, and sack, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
36 And he said unto them—But, now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, in like manner also, a satchel; and, he that hath nothing, let him sell his mantle, and buy a sword!
Then said he to them, But now he that hath a purse, let him take [it], and likewise [his] sack: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
37 For I say unto you—This that is written, must needs be completed in me, —And, with lawless ones, was he reckoned; for, even that which concerneth me, hath, completion.
For I say to you, that this which is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
38 And, they, said—Lord, lo! two swords, here! And, he, said unto them—’Tis, enough!
And they said, Lord, behold, here [are] two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
39 And going out, he went, according to his custom, unto the Mount of Olives; and the disciples [also] followed him.
And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
40 And, coming up to the place, he said unto them—Be praying, lest ye enter into temptation.
And when he was at the place, he said to them, Pray, that ye enter not into temptation.
41 And, he, was torn from them about a stone’s throw; and, bending his knees, he began to pray,
And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed.
42 saying—Father! if thou please, bear aside this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be accomplished.
Saying, Father, if thou art willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done.
43 And there appeared unto him a messenger from heaven, strengthening him, —
And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.
44 and, coming to be in an agony, more intensely, was he praying; and his perspiration became, as if great drops of blood, falling upon the ground.
And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground.
45 And, arising from prayer, he came unto his disciples, and found them falling asleep by reason of their grief;
And when he arose from prayer, and had come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow:
46 and he said unto them—Why are ye slumbering? Arise! and be praying, lest ye enter into temptation.
And said to them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
47 While yet he was speaking, lo! a multitude; and, he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them on, —and he drew near unto Jesus, to kiss him.
And while 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 to kiss him.
48 But, Jesus, said to him—Judas! with a kiss, the Son of Man, dost thou deliver up?
But Jesus said to him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
49 And they who were about him, seeing what would be, said—Lord! shall we smite with the sword?
When they who were about him, saw what would follow, they said to him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
50 And a certain one from among them smote, the High-priest’s, servant, and took off his right ear.
And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 But Jesus, answering, said—Let be—as long as this! …And, touching the ear, he healed him.
And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
52 And Jesus said unto the High-priests, and Captains of the temple, and Elders, who had come against him—As against a robber, have ye come out, with swords and clubs?
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to him, Are ye come out as against a thief, with swords and staffs?
53 Daily, was I with you, in the temple, and yet ye stretched not forth your hands against me! …But, this, is your hour, and the authority 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 And, having arrested him, they led him away, and took him into the house of the High-priest; and, Peter, was following afar.
Then they took him, and led [him], and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed at a distance.
55 And, they having kindled up a fire in the midst of the court, and taken seats together, Peter was for sitting 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, seeing him seating himself towards the light, and looking steadfastly at him, said—This one also, was, with him.
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, saying—I know him not, woman!
And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
58 And, after a little, another, beholding him, said—Thou also, art, from among them. But, Peter, said—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 And, about one hour having passed, a certain other, began stoutly to insist, saying—Of a truth, this one also, was with him; for indeed he is, a Galilaean.
And about the space of one hour after, another confidently affirmed, saying, In truth this [man] also was with him; for he is a Galilean.
60 But Peter said—Man! I know not what thou art saying! And, instantly while yet he was speaking, a cock crew.
And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, the cock crowed.
61 And the Lord turned, and looked at Peter; and Peter was put in mind of the declaration of the Lord, how he had said to him—Before, a cock, crow this day, thou wilt deny me thrice!
And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, Before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me thrice.
62 [And, going forth outside, he wept bitterly.]
And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
63 And, the men who held him bound, kept mocking him, with blows;
And the men that held Jesus, mocked him, and smote [him].
64 and, blindfolding him, questioned him, saying—Prophesy! which is he that smote thee?
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, many other things, with profane speech, were they saying unto him.
And many other things blasphemously they spoke against him.
66 And, when it became day, the Eldership of the people was gathered together—both High-priests and Scribes, —and they led him away into their high-council, saying—If, thou, art the Christ, tell us!
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,
67 But he said unto them—If I should tell, you, in nowise would ye believe,
Saying, Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not believe.
68 And, if I should put questions, in nowise would ye answer;
And if I also ask [you], ye will not answer me, nor let [me] go.
69 But, henceforth, shall the Son of Man be seated on the right hand of the power of God.
Hereafter will the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
70 And they all said—Thou, then, art the Son of God? And, he, unto them said—Ye, say [it], —because, I, am.
Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am.
71 And, they, said—What, further, need have we, of witness? We ourselves, have heard it from his mouth.
And they said, What need have we of any further testimony? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.
