Luke 22
1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.
Now the feast of unleavened bread was near, which is called the Passover.
2 The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.
And the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a chance to put him to death, but they went in fear of the people.
3 Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve.
And Satan came into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve.
4 He went away and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.
And he went away and had a discussion with the chief priests and the rulers, about how he might give him up to them.
5 They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
And they were glad, and undertook to give him money.
6 He consented and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.
And he made an agreement with them to give him up to them, if he got a chance, when the people were not present.
7 The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed.
And the day of unleavened bread came, when the Passover lamb is put to death.
8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”
And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make the Passover ready for us, so that we may take it.
9 They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”
And they said to him, Where are we to get it ready?
10 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.
And he said to them, When you go into the town you will see a man coming to you with a vessel of water; go after him into the house into which he goes.
11 Tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’
And say to the master of the house, The Master says, Where is the guest-room, where I may take the Passover with my disciples?
12 He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”
And he will take you up to a great room with a table and seats: there make ready.
13 They went, found things as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
And they went, and it was as he had said: and they made the Passover ready.
14 When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.
And when the time had come, he took his seat, and the Apostles with him.
15 He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,
And he said, I have had a great desire to keep this Passover with you before I come to my death;
16 for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in God’s Kingdom.”
For I say to you, I will not take it till it is made complete in the kingdom of God.
17 He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves,
And he took a cup and, having given praise, he said, Make division of this among yourselves;
18 for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until God’s Kingdom comes.”
For I say to you, I will not take of the fruit of the vine till the kingdom of God has come.
19 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.”
And he took bread and, having given praise, he gave it to them when it had been broken, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: do this in memory of me.
20 Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
And in the same way, after the meal, he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new testament, made with my blood which is given for you.
21 But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
But the hand of him who is false to me is with me at the table.
22 The Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”
For it will be done to the Son of man after the purpose of God, but unhappy is that man by whom he is given up.
23 They began to question among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.
And they were wondering among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.
24 A dispute also arose among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.
And there was an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.
25 He said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’
And he said, The kings of the Gentiles are lords over them, and those who have authority are given names of honour.
26 But not so with you. Rather, the one who is greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.
But let it not be so with you; but he who is greater, let him become like the younger; and he who is chief, like a servant.
27 For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Is not it he who sits at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
For which is greater, the guest who is seated at a meal or the servant who is waiting on him? is it not the guest? but I am among you as a servant.
28 “But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
But you are those who have kept with me through my troubles;
29 I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,
And I will give you a kingdom as my Father has given one to me,
30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
So that you may take food and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated like kings, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might sift you as wheat,
Simon, Simon, Satan has made a request to have you, so that he may put you to the test as grain is tested:
32 but I prayed for you, that your faith would not fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”
But I have made prayer for you, that your faith may not go from you: and when you are turned again, make your brothers strong.
33 He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”
And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.
34 He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times.”
And he said, I say to you, Peter, before the cock's second cry today, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.
35 He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, bag, and sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”
And he said to them, When I sent you out without money or bag or shoes, were you in need of anything? And they said, Nothing.
36 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.
And he said to them, But now, he who has a money-bag, or a bag for food, let him take it: and he who has not, let him give his coat for money and get a sword.
37 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.”
For I say to you that these words will be put into effect in me, And he was numbered among the evil-doers: for what has been said in the Writings about me has an end.
38 They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”
And they said, Lord, here are two swords. And he said, It is enough.
39 He came out and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.
And he came out, and went, as his way was, to the Mountain of Olives, and the disciples went with him.
40 When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you do not enter into temptation.”
And when he came to the place, he said to them, Make a prayer that you may not be put to the test.
41 He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
And he went a little distance away from them and, falling on his knees in prayer, he said,
42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”
Father, if it is your pleasure, take this cup from me: but still, let your pleasure, not mine, be done.
43 An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
And an angel from heaven came to him, to give him strength.
44 Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
And being in great trouble of soul, the force of his prayer became stronger, and great drops, like blood, came from him, falling to the earth.
45 When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief,
And, getting up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and saw that they were sleeping for sorrow.
46 and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
And he said, Why are you sleeping? Get up, and give yourselves to prayer, so that you may not be put to the test.
47 While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared. He who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.
And while he was saying these words, there came a band of people, and Judas, one of the twelve, was in front of them, and he came near to Jesus to give him a kiss.
48 But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”
But Jesus said to him, Judas, will you be false to the Son of man with a kiss?
49 When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
And when those who were with him saw what was coming, they said, Lord, may we not make use of our swords?
50 A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
And one of them gave a blow to the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answered, “Let me at least do this”—and he touched his ear and healed him.
But Jesus, answering, said, Put up with this, at least. And touching his ear, he made it well.
52 Jesus 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?
And Jesus said to the chief priests and the captains of the Temple and the rulers, who had come against him, Have you come out as against a thief, with swords and sticks?
53 When I was with you in the temple daily, you did not stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”
When I was in the Temple with you every day, your hands were not stretched out against me: but this is your hour, and the authority of the dark power.
54 They seized him and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance.
And they made him a prisoner and took him away to the house of the high priest. But Peter went after them at a distance.
55 When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.
And a fire was lighted in the middle of the open square, and they were seated together, and Peter was among them.
56 A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with him.”
And a certain woman-servant, seeing him in the light of the fire, and looking at him with attention, said, This man was with him.
57 He denied Jesus, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.”
But he said, Woman, it is not true; I have no knowledge of him.
58 After a little while someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them!” But Peter answered, “Man, I am not!”
And after a little time, another saw him and said, You are one of them; and he said, Man, I am not.
59 After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!”
And after about an hour, another man said, with decision, Certainly this man was with him, for he is a Galilaean.
60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
And Peter said, Man, I have no knowledge of these things of which you are talking. And straight away, while he was saying these words, there came the cry of a cock.
61 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.”
And the Lord, turning, gave Peter a look. And the words of the Lord came to Peter's mind, how he had said, This night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will be false to me three times.
62 He went out, and wept bitterly.
And he went out, weeping bitterly.
63 The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.
And the men in whose hands Jesus was, made sport of him and gave him blows.
64 Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”
And, covering his eyes, they said to him, Are you prophet enough to say who gave you that blow?
65 They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.
And they said a number of other evil things against him.
66 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,
And when it was day, the rulers of the people came together, with the chief priests and the scribes, and they took him before their Sanhedrin, saying,
67 “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe,
If you are the Christ, say so. But he said, If I say so you will not have belief;
68 and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.
And if I put a question to you, you will not give an answer.
69 From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
But in the future the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.
70 They all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You say it, because I am.”
And they all said, Are you then the Son of God? and he said, You say that I am.
71 They said, “Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!”
And they said, What more need have we of witness? we have the very words of his mouth.
