Luke 22
1 And the feast of unleavened cakes, which is called the passover, drew near.
Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.
2 And the chief priests and Scribes sought how they might kill him, for they were afraid of the people.
The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, 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 also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve.
4 And he went and conferred with the chief priests and Scribes, and the military commanders of the temple, how he might betray him to them.
He went away and talked with the chief priests 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 promised them, and sought opportunity to betray him to them, in the absence of the multitude.
He consented and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.
7 And the day of unleavened cakes arrived, on which it was customary for the passover to be slain.
The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed.
8 And Jesus sent Cephas and John, and said to them; Go, prepare for us the passover, that we may eat it.
Yeshua sent Peter and Yochanan, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”
9 And they said to him: Where wilt thou, that we prepare?
They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”
10 He said to them: Lo, when ye enter the city, there will a man meet you, bearing a vessel of water. Go after him;
He said to them, “Behold, 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 where he entereth, say ye to the lord of the house: Our Rabbi saith, Is there a place of refreshment, in which I may eat the Passover, with my disciples?
Tell the master of the house, ‘The Rabbi says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’
12 And lo, he will show you a large upper room that is furnished; there prepare ye.
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 Yeshua had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
14 And when the time arrived, Jesus came and reclined; and the twelve Legates with him.
When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve emissaries.
15 And he said to them: I have greatly 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 henceforth I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in God’s Kingdom.”
17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said: Take this, and divide it among you.
He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this and share it amongst yourselves,
18 For I say to you, That I shall not drink of the product of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until God’s Kingdom comes.”
19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to them, and said: This is my body, which is given for your sakes. This do ye, in remembrance of me.
He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”
20 And in like manner also concerning the cup, after they had supped, he said: This cup is the new testament in my blood, which, for your sakes, is poured out!
Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is on the table.
But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
22 And the Son of man goeth, as it was 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 would do this.
They began to question amongst themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.
24 And there was contention also among them, who among them would be greatest.
A dispute also arose amongst them, which of them was considered to be greatest.
25 And Jesus said to them: The kings of the nations, are their lords; and those exercising 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, not so: but he that is great among you, must be as the least; and he that is chief, as the servitor.
But not so with you. Rather, the one who is greater amongst you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.
27 For, which is the greater, he that reclineth, or he that serveth? Is not he that reclineth? But I am among you, as he that serveth.
For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn’t it he who sits at the table? But I am amongst you as one who serves.
28 Ye are they who have continued with me in my trials:
“But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
29 and I promise to you, as my Father hath promised to me, a kingdom:
I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,
30 that ye may eat and drink at the table of my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
31 And Jesus said to Simon: Simon, lo, Satan hath desired to sift thee, as wheat:
The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might sift you as wheat,
32 but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith may not fail. And thou also, in time, turn; and confirm thy brethren.
but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”
33 And Simon said to him: My Lord, with thee I am ready, both for prison and for death.
He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”
34 Jesus said to him: 1 tell thee, Simon, the cock will not crow this day, until thou hast three times 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 purses, without wallets and shoes, lacked ye any thing? They say to him: Nothing.
He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, bag, and sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”
36 He said to them: Henceforth, let him that hath a purse, take it; and so likewise a wallet. And let him that hath no sword, sell his garment, and buy himself a sword.
Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.
37 For I say to you, That this also, which was written, must be fulfilled in me: I shall be numbered with transgressors. For, all that relates to me, will be fulfilled.
For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ For that which concerns me is being fulfilled.”
38 And they said to him: Our Lord, lo, here are two swords. He said to them: They are sufficient.
They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”
39 And he went out, and proceeded, as was his custom, to the mount of the place of Olives; and his disciples followed him.
He came out and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.
40 And when he arrived at the place, he said to them: Pray ye, that ye enter not into temptation.
When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”
41 And he retired from them, about a stone's throw; and kneeled down, and prayed,
He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
42 and said: Father, if it please thee, let this cup pass from me. Yet not my pleasure, 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, who strengthened him.
An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
44 And as he was in fear, he prayed earnestly; and his sweat was like drops of blood; and it fell on the ground.
Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
45 And he arose from his prayer, and came to his disciples: and he found them sleeping, from sorrow.
When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief,
46 And he said to them: Why sleep ye? Arise, and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
47 And while he was speaking, lo, a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, came at their head. And he came up to Jesus, and kissed him. For he had given them this sign: Whom I shall kiss, he it is.
While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared. He who was called Judah, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Yeshua to kiss him.
48 Jesus said to him: Judas, is it with a kiss thou betrayest the Son of man?
But Yeshua said to him, “Judah, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49 And when they that were with him, saw what occurred, they said to him: Our Lord, shall we smite them 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 a servant of the high priest, and took off his right ear.
A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 And Jesus answered and said: Sufficient, thus far. And he touched the ear of him that was smitten, and healed him.
But Yeshua answered, “Let me at least do this”—and he touched his ear and healed him.
52 And Jesus said to those who had come upon him, the chief priests and Elders and military captains of the temple: Have ye come out against me, as against a robber, with swords, and with clubs, to take me?
Yeshua 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?
53 I was with you daily in the temple, and ye laid not hands upon me. But this is your hour, and the reign of darkness.
When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn’t stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”
54 And they took him, and conducted him to the house of the high priest. And Simon followed after him, at a distance.
They seized him and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance.
55 And they kindled a fire in the middle of the court, and sat around it; and Simon also sat among them.
When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat amongst them.
56 And a certain maid saw him sitting at the fire, and she looked upon him, and 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 But he denied, and said: Woman, I have not known him.
He denied Yeshua, saying, “Woman, I don’t know him.”
58 And a little after, another person saw him, and said to him: Thou too art one of them. And Cephas said: 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 an hour after, another contended and said: Certainly, this man also was with him, for he likewise is a Galilean.
After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!”
60 Cephas said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was speaking, the cock crew.
But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 And Jesus turned, and looked upon Cephas. And Simon remembered the word of our Lord, which he spoke to him: Before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me three times.
The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord’s word, how he said to him, “Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times.”
62 And Simon went out, and wept bitterly.
He went out, and wept bitterly.
63 And the men who had taken Jesus, insulted him, and blinded him,
The men who held Yeshua mocked him and beat him.
64 and smote him on his face, and said: Prophesy thou, who smote thee?
Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”
65 And many other things they revilingly uttered, and spoke against him.
They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.
66 And when the day dawned, the Elders and chief priests and Scribes assembled together; and they led him to the place of their meeting,
As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,
67 and said to him: If thou art the Messiah, tell us. He said to them: If I tell you, ye will not believe in me.
“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 will not return me an answer; nor will ye release me.
and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.
69 From this time, the Son of man will sit on the right hand of the majesty 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 art then, the Son of God? Jesus said to them: Ye say that I am.
They all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You say it, because I am.”
71 They say: What further need have we of witnesses? For we have heard from his own mouth.
They said, “Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!”
