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 καλουμενον 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 αυτοις παραδω αυτον
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 ατερ οχλου αυτοις
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 {VAR2: [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 ειπαν αυτω που θελεις ετοιμασωμεν
“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 εις ην 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 αναγαιον μεγα εστρωμενον εκει ετοιμασατε
The man will show you a large upstairs room, set out; there make preparations.”
13 απελθοντες δε ευρον καθως ειρηκει 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 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 ου μη φαγω αυτο 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 εις εαυτους
Then, on receiving a cup, after saying the thanksgiving, he said:
18 λεγω γαρ υμιν {VAR2: [οτι] } ου μη πιω απο του νυν απο του γενηματος της αμπελου εως ου 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 {VAR1: [[το } {VAR2: 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 και το ποτηριον ωσαυτως μετα το δειπνησαι λεγων τουτο το ποτηριον η καινη διαθηκη εν τω αιματι μου το υπερ υμων {VAR1: εκχυννομενον]] } {VAR2: εκχυννομενον }
[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 οτι ο υιος μεν του ανθρωπου κατα το ωρισμενον πορευεται 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 γινεσθω 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 εν μεσω υμων ειμι 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 εσθητε και πινητε επι της τραπεζης μου εν τη βασιλεια μου και {VAR1: καθησθε } {VAR2: καθησεσθε } επι θρονων τας δωδεκα φυλας κρινοντες 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 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 στηρισον 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 φωνησει σημερον αλεκτωρ εως τρις με απαρνηση ειδεναι
“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 βαλλαντιου και πηρας και υποδηματων μη τινος υστερησατε οι δε ειπαν 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 δε αυτοις αλλα νυν ο εχων βαλλαντιον αρατω ομοιως και πηραν και ο μη εχων πωλησατω το ιματιον αυτου και αγορασατω 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 τουτο το γεγραμμενον δει τελεσθηναι εν εμοι το και μετα ανομων ελογισθη και γαρ το 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 ειπαν 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 {VAR1: [και] } {VAR2: και } οι μαθηται
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 παρενεγκε τουτο το ποτηριον απ εμου πλην μη το θελημα μου αλλα το σον γινεσθω
“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 {VAR1: απο του } {VAR2: απ } ουρανου ενισχυων αυτον
Presently there appeared to him an angel from Heaven, who strengthened him.
44 και γενομενος εν αγωνια εκτενεστερον προσηυχετο και εγενετο 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 κοιμωμενους αυτους 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 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 ιησους δε 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 ειπαν κυριε ει παταξομεν εν μαχαιρη
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 του αρχιερεως τον δουλον και αφειλεν το ους αυτου το δεξιον
And one of them struck the High Priest’s servant and cut off his right ear;
51 αποκριθεις δε {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ιησους ειπεν εατε εως τουτου και αψαμενος του ωτιου ιασατο αυτον
on which Jesus said: “Let me at least do this”; and, touching his ear, he healed the wound.
52 ειπεν δε ιησους προς τους παραγενομενους επ αυτον αρχιερεις και στρατηγους του ιερου και πρεσβυτερους ως επι ληστην εξηλθατε 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 εστιν υμων 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 εις την οικιαν 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 περιαψαντων δε πυρ εν μεσω της αυλης και συγκαθισαντων εκαθητο ο πετρος μεσος 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 λεγων ουκ οιδα αυτον γυναι
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 εφη 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 ρηματος του κυριου ως ειπεν αυτω οτι πριν αλεκτορα φωνησαι σημερον 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 {VAR1: [και } {VAR2: και } εξελθων εξω εκλαυσεν {VAR1: πικρως] } {VAR2: πικρως }
and he went outside and wept bitterly.
63 και οι ανδρες οι συνεχοντες αυτον ενεπαιζον αυτω δεροντες
The men that held Jesus kept making sport of him and beating him.
64 και περικαλυψαντες αυτον επηρωτων 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 τε και γραμματεις και απηγαγον 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 ειπον 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 ερωτησω ου μη αποκριθητε
and, if I question you, you will not answer.
69 απο του νυν δε 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 ειπαν 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 ειπαν τι ετι εχομεν μαρτυριας χρειαν 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!”
