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, 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.
and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking 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 called Iscariot, who was 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 consulted with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him up to them.
5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.
And they were glad, and covenanted 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 agreed with them, and sought a good opportunity to deliver him up to them in the absence of the multitude.
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.
Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must 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 make ready for us the passover, that we may eat it.
9 “Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.
And they said to him, Where wilt thou that we make it ready?
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, Lo! when ye have entered the city, there will meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goeth 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 saith 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 show 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 they went and found as he had said to them; and they made ready the passover.
14 When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles.
And when the hour had come, he placed himself at table, and the 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, Earnestly have I 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 to you, that I shall eat it no more, 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 he took a cup, and gave thanks, and 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 to you, that I shall not drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall have 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 gave thanks, and 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.
And in like manner he took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is about to be shed for you.
21 Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.
But lo! the hand of him that betrayeth me 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.”
For the Son of man indeed goeth away, as it hath been determined; but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed.
23 Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.
And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that 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 arose also a contention among them, which of them should be accounted 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 as lords over them, and they who 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 it is not to be so with you; but let the greatest among you be as the youngest; and he that is chief, as he that serveth.
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 reclineth at the table, or he who serveth? Is not he that reclineth at the table? But I am in the midst of you as he who serveth.
28 You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.
Ye however are they who have continued steadfastly with me in my trials.
29 And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,
And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father appointed to me;
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 ye 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, lo! Satan hath asked for you, that he may 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 prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not. And do thou, when thou hast returned to me, strengthen 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, I am ready to go with thee 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, a cock will not crow this day, till thou hast thrice denied 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, or bag, or sandals, were ye in need of anything? And they said, Of nothing. Then he said to them,
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.
But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag; and he that hath not, 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 to you, that this which is written must be accomplished in me: “And he was reckoned among transgressors.” For that which concerneth me also hath 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 him, It is enough!
39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.
And going out, he went, as he was wont, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples 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 may not enter into temptation.
41 And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,
And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw; and kneeling 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 art willing to remove this cup from me—yet not my will, but thine 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 an agony, he prayed more earnestly. And his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground.
45 When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.
And rising up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and 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 sleep ye? Rise, and pray that ye may not enter 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 yet speaking, lo! a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, was at the head of them; and he drew near to Jesus 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, dost thou betray 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 about him, seeing what would follow, said, 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 one of them smote the servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.
But Jesus answering said, Permit thus far; and 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 chief priests and captains of the temple and elders who had come to him, Ye have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs;
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 daily with you in the temple, ye did not put forth 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 they seized him, and led him away, and brought 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 when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat down 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 sitting at the fire, and steadily looking at him said, This man also was with him.
57 But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.
And 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 little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art one of them. And 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 in about one hour's time, another confidently affirmed, saying, In truth this man also was with him; for 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, a 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 turned and looked upon Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, that he had said to him, Before a cock crows this day, thou wilt thrice deny me.
62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
And he went out, and wept bitterly.
63 The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.
And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and beat him;
64 They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”
and having blindfolded him, they asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?
65 And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.
And many other things did they scoffingly say 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,
And when it was day, the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together, and brought him before 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 believe;
68 And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.
and if I ask, ye 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 this time the Son of man will sit 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.”
Then they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say what is true; for 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 further need have we of testimony? For we have ourselves heard from his own mouth.
