Luke 22
1 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread was approaching, which is called the Passover.
Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called ‘Passover’, drew near.
2 The chief priests and the scribes discussed how they could put Jesus to death, for they were afraid of the people.
And the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to kill Him, because they feared the people.
3 Then Satan entered into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve.
Then Satan entered Judas (the one surnamed Iscariot), who was numbered among the Twelve.
4 Judas went to the chief priests and captains and discussed with them how he would betray Jesus to them.
So he went off and conferred with the chief priests and officers about how he might betray Him to them.
5 They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
They were glad, and agreed to give him silver coins.
6 He consented, and looked for an opportunity to deliver him to them away from the crowd.
So he promised, and started looking for an opportunity to betray Him to them, without a crowd.
7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
Then came the day of unleavened bread, in which it was necessary to kill the Passover lamb.
8 So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare for us the Passover meal, so that we may eat it.”
And He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”
9 They said to him, “Where do you want us to make preparations?”
So they said to Him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”
10 He answered them, “Listen, when you have entered the city, a man bearing a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he goes into.
He said to them: “Note, upon entering the city a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters.
11 Then say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I will eat the Passover with my disciples?”'
Then you must say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you: Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’
12 He will show you a large furnished upper room. Make the preparations there.”
He himself will show you a large upper room, all furnished; make preparations there.”
13 So they went, and found everything as he had said to them. Then they prepared the Passover meal.
So off they went and found things just as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
14 When the time came, he sat down with the apostles.
When the hour had come, He reclined, and the twelve apostles with Him.
15 Then he said to them, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
Then He said to them: “I have fervently desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
16 For I say to you, I will not eat it again, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
I tell you further that I will not eat of it again until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”
17 Then Jesus took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this, and share it among yourselves.
And taking a cup He gave thanks and said: “Take this and share it among yourselves.
18 For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine again until the kingdom of God comes.”
I tell you further that I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the Kingdom of God comes.”
19 Then 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.”
Then, after the meal, He took bread, gave thanks, broke and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
20 He took the cup in the same way after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
He also took the cup, saying: “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 But pay attention. The one who betrays me is with me at the table.
“But alas, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table!
22 For the Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined. But woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”
To be sure, the Son of the Man is going as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”
23 They began to discuss among themselves which one of them it might be who would do this.
(They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who was about to do this.)
24 Then there arose also a quarrel among them about which of them was considered to be greatest.
Now there had actually been a discussion among them as to which of them seemed to be greater.
25 He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles are masters over them, and the ones who have authority over them are referred to as those who do good to their people.
So He said to them: “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors’.
26 But it must not be like this with you. Instead, let the one who is the greatest among you become like the youngest, and let the one who is the most important become like the one who serves.
But not so with you—rather let the greater among you become as the younger, and he who leads as he who serves.
27 For who is greater, the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? Is it not the one who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as one who serves.
Who is greater, the one reclining or the one serving? Is it not the one reclining? Yet I am among you as the one who serves.
28 But you are the ones who have continued with me in my temptations.
However, you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
29 I give to you a kingdom, even as my Father has given a kingdom to me,
And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as my Father bestowed one on me,
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.
so that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom; also you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel!”
31 Simon, Simon, be aware, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat.
Then the Lord said: “Simon, Simon! Indeed Satan has asked for you (pl) so as to sift you like wheat.
32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail. After you have turned back again, strengthen your brothers.”
But I have prayed for you (sg) so that your faith not fail completely; so you, when you have recovered, strengthen your brothers.”
33 Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.”
But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”
34 Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, before you deny three times that you know me.”
So He said, “I say to you, Peter, no rooster can crow today before you deny three times that you know me!”
35 Then Jesus said to them, “When I sent you out without a purse, a bag of provisions, or shoes, did you lack anything?” They answered, “Nothing.”
Then He said to them, “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” And they said, “Nothing.”
36 Then he said to them, “But now, the one who has a purse, let him take it, and also a bag of provisions. The one who does not have a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.
So He said to them: “But now, he who has a money bag should take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword must sell his garment and buy one.
37 For I say to you, what is written about me must be fulfilled, 'He was counted with the lawless ones.' For what is predicted about me is being fulfilled.”
Because I say to you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was classed with the lawless’; and because the things concerning me have an end.”
38 Then they said, “Lord, look! Here are two swords.” He said to them, “It is enough.”
So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.”
39 Jesus went, as he often did, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.
Then going out He went to the Mount of Olives, as His custom was, and His disciples followed Him.
40 When they arrived, he said to them, “Pray that you do not enter into temptation.”
When He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray, so as not to enter into temptation.”
41 He went away from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
Then He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down and prayed,
42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless not my will, but yours be done.”
saying, “Father, if you would just remove this cup from me—nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done!”
43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.
44 Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.
And being in anguish He prayed with total concentration; then His sweat became like clots of blood, falling to the ground.
45 When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of their sorrow,
When He rose up from prayer and came to the disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow.
46 and asked them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray, that you may not enter into temptation.”
He said to them: “Why do you sleep? Get up and pray, that you may not enter into temptation!”
47 While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd appeared, with Judas, one of the twelve, leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him,
But while He was still speaking—wow, a crowd; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them! He approached Jesus to kiss Him (he had given them this sign, “Whomever I kiss, it is he”).
48 but Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
So Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of the Man with a kiss?”
49 When those who were around Jesus saw what was happening, they said, “Lord, should we strike 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 Then one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
And a certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear!
51 Jesus said, “That is enough!” He touched his ear, and healed him.
But Jesus reacted by saying, “Allow at least this!” and touching his ear He healed him.
52 Jesus said to the chief priests, to the captains of the temple, and to elders who came against him, “Do you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, officers of the temple, and elders who had come against Him: “Have you come out with swords and clubs as against a bandit?
53 When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not lay your hands on me. But this is your hour, and the authority of darkness.”
When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour; even the authority of the darkness!”
54 Seizing him, they led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from a distance.
Then they seized, took and brought Him to the house of the high priest, with Peter following at a distance.
55 After they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them.
Now when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.
56 A certain female servant saw him as he sat in the light of the fire, and looked straight at him and said, “This man also was with him.”
Then a certain servant girl, seeing him sitting by the fire, looked intently at him and said, “This man also was with him.”
57 But Peter denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.”
But he denied Him, saying, “Woman, I do not know him!”
58 After a little while someone else saw him, and said, “You are also one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
After a little while another saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”
59 After about an hour another man insisted and said, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean.”
Then after about an hour had passed, another started insisting, “Surely this fellow also was with him, because he is a Galilean.”
60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying.” Immediately, while he was speaking, a rooster crowed.
But Peter said, “Man, I don't know what you're talking about!” And immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 Turning, the Lord looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, when he said to him, “Before a rooster crows today you will deny me three times.”
And the Lord turned and looked directly at Peter; then Peter remembered the Lord's word, how He had said to him, “Before a rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
62 Peter went outside and wept bitterly.
And going outside he wept bitterly.
63 Then the men guarding Jesus mocked and beat him.
The men who were guarding Jesus started mocking and beating Him.
64 They put a cover over him and asked him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is the one who hit you?”
And having blindfolded Him they would hit His face and ask Him, saying: “Prophesy! Who was it who struck you?”
65 They spoke many other things against Jesus, blaspheming him.
And they kept saying many other insulting things to Him.
66 As soon as it was day, the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. They led him into the council
As soon as it was day, the elders of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, came together and brought Him before their council, saying,
67 and said, “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe,
“If you are the Messiah, tell us.” But He said to them: “If I tell you, you simply will not believe.
68 and if I ask you, you will not answer.
But if I also question you, you will neither answer nor release me.
69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
Hereafter the Son of the Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
70 They all said, “Then you are the Son of God?” Jesus said to them, “You say that I am.”
Then they all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” So He said to them, “You say it because I AM!”
71 They said, “Why do we still need a witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.”
Then they said: “What further testimony do we need? We ourselves have heard it from his mouth!”
