< Luke 22 >
1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,
Now the festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was drawing near.
2 and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death; for they feared the people.
The high priest and the Scribes continually sought means to put him to death.
3 Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.
Satan however, entered into Judas (the man called Iscariot), who was one 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 out and conferred with the chief priests and commanders
5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.
They were delighted, 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.
He consented to this, and looked for an opportunity to betray him, when the people were not present.
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.
Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the paschal lamb must be sacrificed.
8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare for us to eat the Passover.”
So Jesus went to Peter and Johnsaying, "Go and prepare for us the Passover, that we may eat it."
9 “Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.
"Where shall we get it ready?" they asked.
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,
He answered. "No sooner will you have entered the city than you will meet a man carrying a water-jug. Follow him into the house were he is going.
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 to the good man of the house say, ‘The teacher asks you, "Where is the room in which I can eat the Passover with my disciples?"‘
12 And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”
"Then he will show you a large upper room furnished. There make your preparations."
13 So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.
So they went and found everything as he had told them, 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 sat down, 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 have I longed 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 tell you that I certainly will not eat again 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.
Then he had received a cup and given thanks, he said,
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.”
"Take this, and divide it among yourselves; for I tell you that I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God is 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 he took a loaf, and after giving 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.
He gave them a cup in like manner, after supper saying. "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, poured out for your sake.
21 Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.
"But behold, the hand of my betrayer is at the table with me!
22 Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”
"The Son of man indeed goes on his way, as it has been determined; but woe to that man by who he is betrayed."
23 Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.
And they began to question among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do such a thing.
24 A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them would be considered the greatest.
And there arose also a dispute among them as to which of them could be considered 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 Gentiles lord it over them, and those who have who have 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 you shall not be so. But he who is greater among you let him become like the younger; and he who is leader like him who 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 who sits at table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at table? But I am in your midst as one who serves.
28 You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.
"You, however, are those who have stood by me in my trials.
29 And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,
"And I promise you a kingdom, even as my Father has promised 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.
"so that you shall eat and drink in my kingdom, and you shall sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat.
"Simon, Simon," said the Lord, "behold, Satan has asked to have you all that he might sift you like 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 made supplication for you that your own faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned again, must strengthen your brothers."
33 “Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”
"Lord," Simon said to him, "I am ready to go with you, 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.”
"I tell you, Peter," he answered. "the cock will not crow this day until you will three times deny that you know me."
35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.
Moreover, he said to them, "When I sent you out without purse or wallet or sandals, did you lack anything?" They answered him, "We lacked 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.
Then he said to them. "But now let him who has a purse take it, and he who has a wallet, let him the do the same. And he who has no sword, let him sell his cloak and buy one.
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 to you that this word of Scripture must find it’s fulfilment in me. "And he was numbered among the transgressors, For that which concerns me has its accomplishment."
38 So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.
"Master" they said, "here are two swords!" "That is enough," he answered.
39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.
Then he went out, and began to go to the Mount of Olives, as was his wont; and his disciples followed him.
40 When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”
But he arrived at the place he said to them, "Pray that you enter not into temptation."
41 And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,
But he himself withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, kneeling down he prayed repeatedly, saying.
42 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”
"Father, if thou art willing, take away this cup from me; but thy will, not mine, be done!"
43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.
(And there appeared to him an angel 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 agony he kept praying more earnestly; and his sweat became as if it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.)
45 When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.
When he arose from his prayers, and came to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
46 “Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”
and said to them. "Why are you asleep? Get up, and pray that you 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.
While he was still speaking there came a crowd, and he who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus in order to kiss him,
48 But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
but Jesus said to him, "Judas, you are betraying 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?”
Those who were around him, when they saw what was about to happen, said to him, "Lord, shall we strike with our swords?"
50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
Then one of them did strike a blow at the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.
"Permit me to do this at least," said Jesus, as he touched his ear and 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?
Then Jesus said to the corps of priests and captains of the temple and elders who had come out to arrest him. "Have ye come for me with swords and clubs to arrest me like a robber?
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 daily I was with you in the temple you did not stretch out your hands to take 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.
So they seized him and led him away, and took him to the house of the high priest; while Peter was following him a long way 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 when they had lighted a fire in the center of the court, and had sat down together, Peter was taking his seat 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.
But a certain maid servant saw him taking his seat near the fire and, with a sharp glance at him, she said, "This fellow was with him, too!"
57 But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.
But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I know nothing about 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.”
A little later a man saw him, and said, "You too are one of them" But Peter declared, "Man, I am not."
59 About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”
But an hour afterwards another man kept insisting, saying. "Really, this fellow was with him. Why, he is a Galilean."
60 “Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. While he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
"Man," said Peter, "I do not know what you mean." And immediately, while he was still 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.”
Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter, and Peter recollected the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, "This very day, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times."
62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
And Peter went outside and wept with bitter crying.
63 The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.
Meanwhile the men who were holding Jesus in custody kept mocking and striking him.
64 They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”
They would blindfold him and ask him. "Prophesy! Tell who struck you!"
65 And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.
And they said many other insulting things against 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,
When it became the day the elders if the people met with the high priests and the Scribes and had brought before the Sanhedrin, saying.
67 “If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.
"Are you the Christ? Tell us!" "If I tell you," he answered, "you will not believe;
68 And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.
"And if I ask you, you will not answer.
69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
"But from henceforth the Son of man will be seated at 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.”
Then they all said, "Are you then the Son of God."
71 “Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”
"What need we of further evidence? for we ourselves have heard it from his own lips."
