Luke 22
1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,
And the feast of the unleavened food was coming nigh, that is called Passover,
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 may take him up, for they were afraid of the people.
3 Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.
And the Adversary entered into Judas, who is surnamed Iscariot, 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, having gone away, spake with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might deliver him up to them,
5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.
and they rejoiced, 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, and was seeking a favourable season to deliver him up to them without tumult.
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.
And the day of the unleavened food came, in which it was behoving the passover to be sacrificed,
8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare for us to eat the Passover.”
and he sent Peter and John, saying, 'Having gone on, prepare to us the passover, that we may eat;'
9 “Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.
and they said to him, 'Where wilt thou that we might 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,
And he said to them, 'Lo, in your entering into the city, there shall meet you a man, bearing a pitcher of water, follow him to the house where he doth go 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 the passover with my disciples I may eat?
12 And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”
and he shall 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, having gone away, found as he hath 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 come, he reclined (at meat), 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 unto them, 'With desire I did desire to eat this passover with you before my suffering,
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 no more may I eat of it till it may be fulfilled in the reign of God.'
17 After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.
And having taken a cup, having given thanks, he said, 'Take this and divide to 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 may not drink of the produce of the vine till the reign of God may 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 bread, having given thanks, he brake and gave to them, saying, 'This is my body, that for you is being given, this do ye — to 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 the supping, saying, 'This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, that for you is being poured forth.
21 Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.
'But, lo, the hand of him delivering 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 indeed the Son of Man doth go according to what hath been determined; but woe to that man through whom he is being delivered up.'
23 Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.
And they began to reason among themselves, who then of them it may be, who is about to do this thing.
24 A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them would be considered the greatest.
And there happened also a strife among them — who of them is accounted to be greater.
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 do exercise lordship over them, and those exercising authority upon 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 [are] not so, but he who is greater among you — let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is ministering;
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 who is greater? he who is reclining (at meat), or he who is ministering? is it not he who is reclining (at meat)? and I — I am in your midst as he who is ministering.
28 You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.
'And ye — ye are those who have remained 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 to you, as my Father did appoint 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 may drink at my table, in my kingdom, and may 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, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat,
32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, 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, 'Sir, with thee I am ready both to prison and to death to go;'
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 say to thee, Peter, a cock shall not crow to-day, before thrice thou mayest disown knowing 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 bag, 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.
Then said he to them, 'But, now, he who is having a bag, let him take [it] up, and in like manner also a scrip; and he who is not having, 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 yet this that hath been written it behoveth to be fulfilled in me: And with lawless ones he was reckoned, 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, 'Sir, lo, here [are] two swords;' and he said to them, 'It is sufficient.'
39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.
And having gone forth, he went on, according to custom, to the mount of the Olives, and his disciples also followed him,
40 When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”
and having come to the place, he said to them, 'Pray ye not to enter 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, as it were a stone's cast, and having fallen on the knees he was praying,
42 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”
saying, 'Father, if Thou be counselling to make this cup pass from me —; but, not my will, but Thine be done.' —
43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.
And there appeared to him a messenger 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 having been in agony, he was more earnestly praying, and his sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling upon the ground.
45 When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.
And having risen up from the prayer, having come unto the disciples, he found them sleeping from the 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 do ye sleep? having risen, 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.
And while he is speaking, lo, a multitude, and he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them, and he came nigh 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, with a kiss the Son of Man dost thou deliver up?'
49 Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”
And those about him, having seen what was about to be, said to him, 'Sir, shall we smite with a sword?'
50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
And a certain one of them smote the servant of the chief 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 ye 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 those having come upon him — chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders — 'As upon a robber have ye come forth, 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.”
while daily I was with you in the temple, ye did stretch forth no hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of the 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 taken him, they led and brought him to the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following 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 kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of 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 at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, 'And this one was with him!'
57 But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.
and he disowned him, saying, '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 after a little, another having seen him, said, 'And thou art 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 one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain other was confidently affirming, saying, 'Of a truth this one also was with him, for he is also a Galilean;'
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 have not known what thou sayest;' and presently, while he is 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 having turned did look on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him — 'Before a cock shall crow, thou mayest disown me thrice;'
62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
and Peter having gone without, wept bitterly.
63 The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.
And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking him, beating [him];
64 They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”
and having blindfolded him, they were striking him on the face, and were questioning him, saying, 'Prophesy who he is who smote thee?'
65 And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.
and many other things, speaking evilly, they spake in regard 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 became day there was gathered together the eldership of the people, chief priests also, and scribes, and they led him up to their own sanhedrim,
67 “If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.
saying, 'If thou be the Christ, tell us.' And he said to them, 'If I may tell you, ye will not believe;
68 And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.
and if I also question [you], ye will not answer me or send me away;
69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
henceforth, there shall be the Son of Man 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 unto them, 'Ye say [it], because 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 yet have we of testimony? for we ourselves did hear [it] from his mouth.'
