Κατα Λουκαν 22
1 ηγγιζεν δε η εορτη των αζυμων η λεγομενη πασχα
The Feast of the Unleavened Bread, known as the Passover, was near.
2 και εζητουν οι αρχιερεισ και οι γραμματεισ το πωσ ανελωσιν αυτον εφοβουντο γαρ τον λαον
The Chief Priest and the Teachers of the Law were looking for an opportunity of destroying Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.
3 εισηλθεν δε σατανασ εισ ιουδαν τον επικαλουμενον ισκαριωτην οντα εκ του αριθμου των δωδεκα
Now Satan took possession of Judas, who was known as Iscariot, and who belonged to the Twelve;
4 και απελθων συνελαλησεν τοισ αρχιερευσιν και στρατηγοισ το πωσ αυτον παραδω αυτοισ
and he went and discussed with the Chief Priests and Officers in charge at the Temple the best way of betraying Jesus to them.
5 και εχαρησαν και συνεθεντο αυτω αργυριον δουναι
They were glad of this, and agreed to pay him.
6 και εξωμολογησεν και εζητει ευκαιριαν του παραδουναι αυτον αυτοισ ατερ οχλου
So Judas assented, and looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them, in the absence of a crowd.
7 ηλθεν δε η ημερα των αζυμων εν η εδει θυεσθαι το πασχα
When the day of the Festival of the Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lambs had to be killed,
8 και απεστειλεν πετρον και ιωαννην ειπων πορευθεντεσ ετοιμασατε ημιν το πασχα ινα φαγωμεν
Jesus sent forward Peter and John, saying to them: “Go and make preparations for our eating the Passover.”
9 οι δε ειπον αυτω που θελεισ ετοιμασομεν
“Where do you wish us to make preparations?” they asked.
10 ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ ιδου εισελθοντων υμων εισ την πολιν συναντησει υμιν ανθρωποσ κεραμιον υδατοσ βασταζων ακολουθησατε αυτω εισ την οικιαν ου εισπορευεται
“Listen,” he answered, “when you have got into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into whatever house he enters;
11 και ερειτε τω οικοδεσποτη τησ οικιασ λεγει σοι ο διδασκαλοσ που εστιν το καταλυμα οπου το πασχα μετα των μαθητων μου φαγω
and you shall say to the owner of the house ‘The Teacher says to you — Where is the room where I am to eat the Passover with my disciples?’
12 κακεινοσ υμιν δειξει ανωγεον μεγα εστρωμενον εκει ετοιμασατε
The man will show you a large upstairs room, set out; there make preparations.”
13 απελθοντεσ δε ευρον καθωσ ειρηκεν αυτοισ και ητοιμασαν το πασχα
So Peter and John went on, and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
14 και οτε εγενετο η ωρα ανεπεσεν και οι δωδεκα αποστολοι συν αυτω
When the time came, Jesus took his place at table, and the Apostles with him.
15 και ειπεν προσ αυτουσ επιθυμια επεθυμησα τουτο το πασχα φαγειν μεθ υμων προ του με παθειν
“I have most earnestly wished,” he said, “to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
16 λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι ουκετι ου μη φαγω εξ αυτου εωσ οτου πληρωθη εν τη βασιλεια του θεου
For I tell you that I shall not eat it again, until it has had its fulfilment in the Kingdom of God.”
17 και δεξαμενοσ ποτηριον ευχαριστησασ ειπεν λαβετε τουτο και διαμερισατε εαυτοισ
Then, on receiving a cup, after saying the thanksgiving, he said:
18 λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι ου μη πιω απο του γενηματοσ τησ αμπελου εωσ οτου η βασιλεια του θεου ελθη
“Take this and share it among you. For I tell you that I shall not, after to-day, drink of the juice of the grape, till the Kingdom of God has come.”
19 και λαβων αρτον ευχαριστησασ εκλασεν και εδωκεν αυτοισ λεγων τουτο εστιν το σωμα μου το υπερ υμων διδομενον τουτο ποιειτε εισ την εμην αναμνησιν
Then Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke it and gave to them, with the words: “This is my body, [which is now to be given on your behalf. Do this in memory of me.”]
20 ωσαυτωσ και το ποτηριον μετα το δειπνησαι λεγων τουτο το ποτηριον η καινη διαθηκη εν τω αιματι μου το υπερ υμων εκχυνομενον
[And in the same way with the cup, after supper, saying: “This cup is the New Covenant made by my blood which is being poured out on your behalf. ]
21 πλην ιδου η χειρ του παραδιδοντοσ με μετ εμου επι τησ τραπεζησ
Yet see! the hand of the man that is betraying me is beside me upon the table!
22 και ο μεν υιοσ του ανθρωπου πορευεται κατα το ωρισμενον πλην ουαι τω ανθρωπω εκεινω δι ου παραδιδοται
True, the Son of Man is passing, by the way ordained for him, yet alas for that man by whom he is being betrayed!”
23 και αυτοι ηρξαντο συζητειν προσ εαυτουσ το τισ αρα ειη εξ αυτων ο τουτο μελλων πρασσειν
Then they began questioning one another which of them it could be that was going to do this.
24 εγενετο δε και φιλονεικια εν αυτοισ το τισ αυτων δοκει ειναι μειζων
And a dispute arose among them as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
25 ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ οι βασιλεισ των εθνων κυριευουσιν αυτων και οι εξουσιαζοντεσ αυτων ευεργεται καλουνται
Jesus, however, said: “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their oppressors are styled ‘Benefactors.’
26 υμεισ δε ουχ ουτωσ αλλ ο μειζων εν υμιν γενεσθω ωσ ο νεωτεροσ και ο ηγουμενοσ ωσ ο διακονων
But with you it must not be so. No, let the greatest among you become like the youngest, and him who leads like him who serves.
27 τισ γαρ μειζων ο ανακειμενοσ η ο διακονων ουχι ο ανακειμενοσ εγω δε ειμι εν μεσω υμων ωσ ο διακονων
Which is the greater — the master at the table or his servant? Is not it the master at the table? Yet I myself am among you as one who serves.
28 υμεισ δε εστε οι διαμεμενηκοτεσ μετ εμου εν τοισ πειρασμοισ μου
You are the men who have stood by me in my trials;
29 καγω διατιθεμαι υμιν καθωσ διεθετο μοι ο πατηρ μου βασιλειαν
and, just as my Father has assigned me a Kingdom, I assign you places,
30 ινα εσθιητε και πινητε επι τησ τραπεζησ μου και καθισεσθε επι θρονων κρινοντεσ τασ δωδεκα φυλασ του ισραηλ
so that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and be seated upon twelve thrones as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 ειπεν δε ο κυριοσ σιμων σιμων ιδου ο σατανασ εξητησατο υμασ του σινιασαι ωσ τον σιτον
Simon! Simon! listen. Satan demanded leave to sift you all like wheat,
32 εγω δε εδεηθην περι σου ινα μη εκλιπη η πιστισ σου και συ ποτε επιστρεψασ στηριξον τουσ αδελφουσ σου
but I prayed for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. And you, when you have returned to me, are to strengthen your Brothers.”
33 ο δε ειπεν αυτω κυριε μετα σου ετοιμοσ ειμι και εισ φυλακην και εισ θανατον πορευεσθαι
“Master,” said Peter, “with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death.”
34 ο δε ειπεν λεγω σοι πετρε ου μη φωνηση σημερον αλεκτωρ πριν η τρισ απαρνηση μη ειδεναι με
“I tell you, Peter,” replied Jesus, “the cock will not crow to-day till you have disowned all knowledge of me three times.”
35 και ειπεν αυτοισ οτε απεστειλα υμασ ατερ βαλαντιου και πηρασ και υποδηματων μη τινοσ υστερησατε οι δε ειπον ουθενοσ
Then he said to them all: “When I sent you out as my Messengers, without either purse, or bag, or sandals, were you in need of anything?” “No; nothing,” they answered.
36 ειπεν ουν αυτοισ αλλα νυν ο εχων βαλαντιον αρατω ομοιωσ και πηραν και ο μη εχων πωλησει το ιματιον αυτου και αγορασει μαχαιραν
“Now, however,” he said, “he who has a purse must take it and his bag as well; and he who has not must sell his cloak and buy a sword.
37 λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι ετι τουτο το γεγραμμενον δει τελεσθηναι εν εμοι το και μετα ανομων ελογισθη και γαρ τα περι εμου τελοσ εχει
For, I tell you, that passage of Scripture must be fulfilled in me, which says — ‘He was counted among the godless’; indeed all that refers to me is finding its fulfilment.”
38 οι δε ειπον κυριε ιδου μαχαιραι ωδε δυο ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ ικανον εστιν
“Master,” they exclaimed, “look, here are two swords!” “Enough!” said Jesus.
39 και εξελθων επορευθη κατα το εθοσ εισ το οροσ των ελαιων ηκολουθησαν δε αυτω και οι μαθηται αυτου
Jesus then went out, and made his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, followed by his disciples.
40 γενομενοσ δε επι του τοπου ειπεν αυτοισ προσευχεσθε μη εισελθειν εισ πειρασμον
And, when he reached the spot, he said to them: “Pray that you may not fall into temptation.”
41 και αυτοσ απεσπασθη απ αυτων ωσει λιθου βολην και θεισ τα γονατα προσηυχετο
Then he withdrew about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and began to pray.
42 λεγων πατερ ει βουλει παρενεγκειν το ποτηριον τουτο απ εμου πλην μη το θελημα μου αλλα το σον γενεσθω
“Father,” he said, “if it is thy pleasure, spare me this cup; only, not my will but thine be done.”
43 ωφθη δε αυτω αγγελοσ απ ουρανου ενισχυων αυτον
Presently there appeared to him an angel from Heaven, who strengthened him.
44 και γενομενοσ εν αγωνια εκτενεστερον προσηυχετο εγενετο δε ο ιδρωσ αυτου ωσει θρομβοι αιματοσ καταβαινοντεσ επι την γην
And, as his anguish became intense, he prayed still more earnestly, while his sweat was like great drops of blood falling on the ground.
45 και αναστασ απο τησ προσευχησ ελθων προσ τουσ μαθητασ ευρεν αυτουσ κοιμωμενουσ απο τησ λυπησ
Then he rose from praying, and came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow.
46 και ειπεν αυτοισ τι καθευδετε ανασταντεσ προσευχεσθε ινα μη εισελθητε εισ πειρασμον
“Why are you asleep?” he asked them. “Rise and pray, that you may not fall into temptation.”
47 ετι δε αυτου λαλουντοσ ιδου οχλοσ και ο λεγομενοσ ιουδασ εισ των δωδεκα προηρχετο αυτουσ και ηγγισεν τω ιησου φιλησαι αυτον
While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared in sight, led by the man called Judas, who was one of the Twelve. Judas approached Jesus, to kiss him;
48 ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν αυτω ιουδα φιληματι τον υιον του ανθρωπου παραδιδωσ
on which Jesus said to him: “Judas, is it by a kiss that you betray the Son of Man?”
49 ιδοντεσ δε οι περι αυτον το εσομενον ειπον αυτω κυριε ει παταξομεν εν μαχαιρα
But when those who were round Jesus saw what was going to happen, they exclaimed: “Master, shall we use our swords?”
50 και επαταξεν εισ τισ εξ αυτων τον δουλον του αρχιερεωσ και αφειλεν αυτου το ουσ το δεξιον
And one of them struck the High Priest’s servant and cut off his right ear;
51 αποκριθεισ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν εατε εωσ τουτου και αψαμενοσ του ωτιου αυτου ιασατο αυτον
on which Jesus said: “Let me at least do this”; and, touching his ear, he healed the wound.
52 ειπεν δε ο ιησουσ προσ τουσ παραγενομενουσ επ αυτον αρχιερεισ και στρατηγουσ του ιερου και πρεσβυτερουσ ωσ επι ληστην εξεληλυθατε μετα μαχαιρων και ξυλων
Then, turning to the Chief Priests and Officers in charge at the Temple and Councillors, who had come for him, he said: “Have you come out, as if after a robber, with swords and clubs?
53 καθ ημεραν οντοσ μου μεθ υμων εν τω ιερω ουκ εξετεινατε τασ χειρασ επ εμε αλλ αυτη υμων εστιν η ωρα και η εξουσια του σκοτουσ
When I was with you day after day in the Temple Courts, you did not lay hands on me; but now your time has come, and the power of Darkness.”
54 συλλαβοντεσ δε αυτον ηγαγον και εισηγαγον αυτον εισ τον οικον του αρχιερεωσ ο δε πετροσ ηκολουθει μακροθεν
Those who had taken Jesus prisoner took him away into the house of the High Priest. Peter followed at a distance.
55 αψαντων δε πυρ εν μεσω τησ αυλησ και συγκαθισαντων αυτων εκαθητο ο πετροσ εν μεσω αυτων
But, when they had lit a fire in the centre of the court-yard and had all sat down there, Peter seated himself in the middle of them.
56 ιδουσα δε αυτον παιδισκη τισ καθημενον προσ το φωσ και ατενισασα αυτω ειπεν και ουτοσ συν αυτω ην
Presently a maidservant saw him sitting near the blaze of the fire. Fixing her eyes on him, she said: “Why, this man was one of his companions!”
57 ο δε ηρνησατο αυτον λεγων γυναι ουκ οιδα αυτον
But Peter denied it. “I do not know him,” he replied.
58 και μετα βραχυ ετεροσ ιδων αυτον εφη και συ εξ αυτων ει ο δε πετροσ ειπεν ανθρωπε ουκ ειμι
A little while afterwards some one else — a man — saw him and said: “Why, you are one of them!” “No,” Peter said, “I am not.”
59 και διαστασησ ωσει ωρασ μιασ αλλοσ τισ διισχυριζετο λεγων επ αληθειασ και ουτοσ μετ αυτου ην και γαρ γαλιλαιοσ εστιν
About an hour later another man declared positively: “This man also was certainly with him. Why, he is a Galilean!”
60 ειπεν δε ο πετροσ ανθρωπε ουκ οιδα ο λεγεισ και παραχρημα ετι λαλουντοσ αυτου εφωνησεν αλεκτωρ
But Peter said: “I do not know what you are speaking about.” Instantly, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.
61 και στραφεισ ο κυριοσ ενεβλεψεν τω πετρω και υπεμνησθη ο πετροσ του λογου του κυριου ωσ ειπεν αυτω οτι πριν αλεκτορα φωνησαι απαρνηση με τρισ
And the Master turned and looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the words that the Master had said to him — “Before a cock has crowed to-day, you will disown me three times”;
62 και εξελθων εξω ο πετροσ εκλαυσεν πικρωσ
and he went outside and wept bitterly.
63 και οι ανδρεσ οι συνεχοντεσ τον ιησουν ενεπαιζον αυτω δεροντεσ
The men that held Jesus kept making sport of him and beating him.
64 και περικαλυψαντεσ αυτον ετυπτον αυτου το προσωπον και επηρωτων αυτον λεγοντεσ προφητευσον τισ εστιν ο παισασ σε
They blindfolded him and then questioned him. “Now play the Prophet,” they said; “who was it that struck you?”
65 και ετερα πολλα βλασφημουντεσ ελεγον εισ αυτον
And they heaped many other insults on him.
66 και ωσ εγενετο ημερα συνηχθη το πρεσβυτεριον του λαου αρχιερεισ και γραμματεισ και ανηγαγον αυτον εισ το συνεδριον αυτων λεγοντεσ
At daybreak the National Council met — both the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law — and took Jesus before their High Council.
67 ει συ ει ο χριστοσ ειπε ημιν ειπεν δε αυτοισ εαν υμιν ειπω ου μη πιστευσητε
“If you are the Christ,” they said, “tell us so.” “If I tell you,” replied Jesus, “you will not believe me;
68 εαν δε και ερωτησω ου μη αποκριθητε μοι η απολυσητε
and, if I question you, you will not answer.
69 απο του νυν εσται ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου καθημενοσ εκ δεξιων τησ δυναμεωσ του θεου
But from this hour ‘the Son of Man will be seated on the right hand of God Almighty.’”
70 ειπον δε παντεσ συ ουν ει ο υιοσ του θεου ο δε προσ αυτουσ εφη υμεισ λεγετε οτι εγω ειμι
“Are you, then, the Son of God?” they all asked. “It is true,” answered Jesus, “I am.”
71 οι δε ειπον τι ετι χρειαν εχομεν μαρτυριασ αυτοι γαρ ηκουσαμεν απο του στοματοσ αυτου
At this they exclaimed: “Why do we want any more evidence? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!”
