Luke 22
1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,
And the feast of unleavened cakes, which is called the passover, drew 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 Scribes sought how they might kill him, for they were afraid of 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 and conferred with the chief priests and Scribes, and the military commanders of the temple, how he might betray him 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 promised them, and sought opportunity to betray him 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.
And the day of unleavened cakes arrived, on which it was customary for the passover to be slain.
8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare for us to eat the Passover.”
And Jesus sent Cephas and John, and said to them; Go, prepare 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 prepare?
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 said to them: Lo, when ye enter the city, there will a man meet you, bearing a vessel of water. Go after him;
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 where he entereth, say ye to the lord of the house: Our Rabbi saith, Is there a place of refreshment, in which I may eat the Passover, with my disciples?
12 And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”
And lo, he will show you a large upper room that is furnished; there prepare ye.
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 time arrived, Jesus came and reclined; and the twelve Legates 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: I have greatly 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 henceforth I shall not eat 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 he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said: Take this, and divide it among you.
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 of the product of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall 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 bread, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to them, and said: This is my body, which is given for your sakes. This do ye, 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 also concerning the cup, after they had supped, he said: This cup is the new testament in my blood, which, for your sakes, is poured out!
21 Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.
But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is 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 goeth, as it was 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 would do this.
24 A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them would be considered the greatest.
And there was contention also among them, who among them would be greatest.
25 So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.
And Jesus said to them: The kings of the nations, are their lords; and those exercising 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, not so: but he that is great among you, must be as the least; and he that is chief, as the servitor.
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 the greater, he that reclineth, or he that serveth? Is not he that reclineth? But I am among you, as he that serveth.
28 You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.
Ye are they who have continued with me in my trials:
29 And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,
and I promise to you, as my Father hath promised to 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 the table of my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat.
And Jesus said to Simon: Simon, lo, Satan hath desired to sift thee, 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 may not fail. And thou also, in time, turn; and confirm thy brethren.
33 “Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”
And Simon said to him: My Lord, with thee I am ready, both for prison and for 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.”
Jesus said to him: 1 tell thee, Simon, the cock will not crow this day, until thou hast three times 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 purses, without wallets and shoes, lacked ye any thing? They say to him: 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 to them: Henceforth, let him that hath a purse, take it; and so likewise a wallet. And let him that hath no sword, sell his garment, and buy himself 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 also, which was written, must be fulfilled in me: I shall be numbered with transgressors. For, all that relates to me, will be fulfilled.
38 So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.
And they said to him: Our Lord, lo, here are two swords. He said to them: They are sufficient.
39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.
And he went out, and proceeded, as was his custom, to the mount of the place of Olives; and his disciples followed him.
40 When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”
And when he arrived at the place, he said to them: Pray ye, 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 retired from them, about a stone's throw; and kneeled down, and prayed,
42 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”
and said: Father, if it please thee, let this cup pass from me. Yet not my pleasure, 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, who strengthened him.
44 And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.
And as he was in fear, he prayed earnestly; and his sweat was like drops of blood; and it fell on the ground.
45 When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.
And he arose from his prayer, and came to his disciples: and he found them sleeping, from sorrow.
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? Arise, and pray, lest ye 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.
And while he was speaking, lo, a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, came at their head. And he came up to Jesus, and kissed him. For he had given them this sign: Whom I shall kiss, he it is.
48 But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
Jesus said to him: Judas, is it with a kiss thou betrayest the Son of man?
49 Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”
And when they that were with him, saw what occurred, they said to him: Our Lord, shall we smite them 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 a servant 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 answered and said: Sufficient, thus far. And he touched the ear of him that was smitten, 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?
And Jesus said to those who had come upon him, the chief priests and Elders and military captains of the temple: Have ye come out against me, as against a robber, with swords, and with clubs, to take me?
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.”
I was with you daily in the temple, and ye laid not hands upon me. But this is your hour, and the reign 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 took him, and conducted him to the house of the high priest. And Simon followed after him, at a distance.
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 kindled a fire in the middle of the court, and sat around it; and Simon also 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 saw him sitting at the fire, and she looked upon him, and said: This man also was with him.
57 But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.
But he denied, and said: Woman, I have not known 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 a little after, another person saw him, and said to him: Thou too art one of them. And Cephas said: I am not.
59 About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”
And an hour after, another contended and said: Certainly, this man also was with him, for he likewise is a Galilean.
60 “Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. While he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
Cephas said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was 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 Jesus turned, and looked upon Cephas. And Simon remembered the word of our Lord, which he spoke to him: Before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me three times.
62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
And Simon went out, and wept bitterly.
63 The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.
And the men who had taken Jesus, insulted him, and blinded him,
64 They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”
and smote him on his face, and said: Prophesy thou, who smote thee?
65 And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.
And many other things they revilingly uttered, and spoke 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 the day dawned, the Elders and chief priests and Scribes assembled together; and they led him to the place of their meeting,
67 “If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.
and said to him: If thou art the Messiah, tell us. He said to them: If I tell you, ye will not believe in me.
68 And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.
And if I should ask you, ye will not return me an answer; nor will ye release me.
69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
From this time, the Son of man will sit on the right hand of the majesty 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 art then, the Son of God? Jesus 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.”
They say: What further need have we of witnesses? For we have heard from his own mouth.
