Luke 22
1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,
Now the feast of unleavened bread, which [is] called the passover, drew nigh,
2 and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death; for they feared the people.
and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
3 Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.
And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariote, being of the number of the twelve.
4 And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.
And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them.
5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.
And they were rejoiced, and agreed to give him money.
6 Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.
And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd.
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.
And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed.
8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare for us to eat the Passover.”
And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat [it].
9 “Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.
But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare [it]?
10 He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,
And he said to them, Behold, as ye enter into the city a man will meet you, carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in;
11 and say to the owner of that house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’
and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
12 And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”
And he will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
13 So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.
And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover.
14 When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles.
And when the hour was come, he placed himself at table, and the [twelve] apostles with him.
15 And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.
And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.
16 For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
For I say unto you, that I will not eat any more at all of it until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.
And having received a cup, when he had given thanks he said, Take this and divide it among yourselves.
18 For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”
For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God come.
19 And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
And having taken a loaf, when he had given thanks, he broke [it], and gave [it] to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20 In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you.
In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
21 Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.
Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up [is] with me on the table;
22 Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”
and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.
23 Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.
And they began to question together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this.
24 A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them would be considered the greatest.
And there was also a strife among them which of them should be held to be [the] greatest.
25 So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.
And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called benefactors.
26 But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.
But ye [shall] not [be] thus; but let the greater among you be as the younger, and the leader as he that serves.
27 For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am among you as one who serves.
For which [is] greater, he that is at table or he that serves? [Is] not he that is at table? But I am in the midst of you as the one that serves.
28 You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.
But ye are they who have persevered with me in my temptations.
29 And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,
And I appoint unto you, as my Father has appointed unto me, a kingdom,
30 so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat.
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, to sift [you] as wheat;
32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
but I have besought for thee that thy faith fail not; and thou, when once thou hast been restored, confirm thy brethren.
33 “Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”
And he said to him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.
34 But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, [the] cock shall not crow to-day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.
And he said to them, When I sent you without purse and scrip and sandals, did ye lack anything? And they said, Nothing.
36 “Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.
He said therefore to them, But now he that has a purse let him take [it], in like manner also a scrip, and he that has none let him sell his garment and buy a sword;
37 For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.”
for I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned with [the] lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end.
38 So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.
And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.
And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him.
40 When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”
And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41 And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,
And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and having knelt down he prayed,
42 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”
saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: — but then, not my will, but thine be done.
43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.
And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him.
44 And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.
And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth.
45 When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.
And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief.
46 “Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”
And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation.
47 While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.
As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.
48 But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss?
49 Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”
And they who were around him, seeing what was going to follow, said [to him], Lord, shall we smite with [the] sword?
50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
And a certain one from among them smote the bondman of the high priest and took off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.
And Jesus answering said, Suffer thus far; and having touched his ear, he healed him.
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple officers, and elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against an outlaw?
And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks?
53 Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on Me. But this hour belongs to you and to the power of darkness.”
When I was day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.
54 Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.
And having laid hold on him, they led him [away], and they led [him] into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off.
55 When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.
And they having lit a fire in the midst of the court and sat down together, Peter sat among them.
56 A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.
And a certain maid, having seen him sitting by the light, and having fixed her eyes upon him, said, And this [man] was with him.
57 But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.
But he denied [him], saying, Woman, I do not know him.
58 A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
And after a short time another seeing him said, And thou art of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.
59 About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”
And after the lapse of about one hour another stoutly maintained it, saying, In truth this [man] also was with him, for also he is a Galilaean.
60 “Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. While he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, [the] cock crew.
61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word that the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”
And the Lord, turning round, looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before [the] cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice.
62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
And Peter, going forth without, wept bitterly.
63 The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.
And the men who held him mocked him, beating [him];
64 They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”
and covering him up, asked him saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?
65 And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.
And they said many other injurious things to him.
66 At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, met together. They led Jesus into their Sanhedrin and said,
And when it was day, the elderhood of the people, both [the] chief priests and scribes, were gathered together, and led him into their council, saying,
67 “If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.
If thou art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not at all believe;
68 And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.
and if I should ask [you], ye would not answer me at all, nor let me go;
69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
but henceforth shall the Son of man be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.
70 So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”
And they all said, Thou then art the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am.
71 “Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”
And they said, What need have we any more of witness, for we have heard ourselves out of his mouth?
