< Luke 22 >

1 Now the feast of unleavened bread was near, which is called the Passover.
Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the passover.
2 And the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a chance to put him to death, but they went in fear of the people.
And the chief priests and scribes were consulting how they might put Him to death; for they were afraid of the people.
3 And Satan came into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve.
Then entred Satan into Judas who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.
4 And he went away and had a discussion with the chief priests and the rulers, about how he might give him up to them.
And he went and conferred with the chief priests and the captains, how he might betray Him unto them.
5 And they were glad, and undertook to give him money.
And they were glad and agreed to give him money:
6 And he made an agreement with them to give him up to them, if he got a chance, when the people were not present.
and he accepted the terms, and sought an opportunity to betray Him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
7 And the day of unleavened bread came, when the Passover lamb is put to death.
The day of unleavened bread being come, on which the paschal-lamb was to be slain,
8 And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make the Passover ready for us, so that we may take it.
Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat of it.
9 And they said to him, Where are we to get it ready?
And they said unto Him, Where wouldst thou have us prepare it?
10 And he said to them, When you go into the town you will see a man coming to you with a vessel of water; go after him into the house into which he goes.
And He said unto them, Behold, when ye are come into the city, there shall meet you a man, carrying a pitcher of water, follow him into the house where he entreth:
11 And say to the master of the house, The Master says, Where is the guest-room, where I may take the Passover with my disciples?
and say to the master of the house, Our Master inquireth by us, Where is the room, in which I may eat the passover with my disciples?
12 And he will take you up to a great room with a table and seats: there make ready.
And he will shew you a large upper room set out; there make it ready.
13 And they went, and it was as he had said: and they made the Passover ready.
And they went and found as He had told them; and prepared the passover.
14 And when the time had come, he took his seat, and the Apostles with him.
And when the hour was come, He sat down and the twelve apostles with Him.
15 And he said, I have had a great desire to keep this Passover with you before I come to my death;
And He said unto them, I have earnestly desired to eat of this passover with you before I suffer:
16 For I say to you, I will not take it till it is made complete in the kingdom of God.
for I say unto you, that I will not eat of it any more, till it be accomplished in the kingdom of God.
17 And he took a cup and, having given praise, he said, Make division of this among yourselves;
And taking the cup He gave thanks and said, Take this and distribute it among yourselves.
18 For I say to you, I will not take of the fruit of the vine till the kingdom of God has come.
For I tell you, that I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine, till the kingdom of God shall come.
19 And he took bread and, having given praise, he gave it to them when it had been broken, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: do this in memory of me.
And He took bread, and gave thanks and brake it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me:
20 And in the same way, after the meal, he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new testament, made with my blood which is given for you.
as also the cup after supper, saying, This cup represents the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 But the hand of him who is false to me is with me at the table.
And yet behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is at table with me:
22 For it will be done to the Son of man after the purpose of God, but unhappy is that man by whom he is given up.
and the Son of man is going indeed as was determined; but wo to that man by whom He is betrayed.
23 And they were wondering among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.
And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do it.
24 And there was an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.
And there was also a dispute among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest:
25 And he said, The kings of the Gentiles are lords over them, and those who have authority are given names of honour.
but He said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority are called benefactors.
26 But let it not be so with you; but he who is greater, let him become like the younger; and he who is chief, like a servant.
But ye shall not do so: but let the greatest among you be as the younger; and he that presides as he that serveth.
27 For which is greater, the guest who is seated at a meal or the servant who is waiting on him? is it not the guest? but I am among you as a servant.
For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at table? but I am among you as one that serveth.
28 But you are those who have kept with me through my troubles;
Ye have continued with me in my temptations;
29 And I will give you a kingdom as my Father has given one to me,
and I appoint you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me:
30 So that you may take food and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated like kings, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 Simon, Simon, Satan has made a request to have you, so that he may put you to the test as grain is tested:
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you my disciples, that he may sift you as wheat:
32 But I have made prayer for you, that your faith may not go from you: and when you are turned again, make your brothers strong.
but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
33 And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.
And he said unto Him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee both to prison and to death.
34 And he said, I say to you, Peter, before the cock's second cry today, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.
But He replied, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before thou hast thrice denied that thou knowest me.
35 And he said to them, When I sent you out without money or bag or shoes, were you in need of anything? And they said, Nothing.
And He said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, or bag, or shoes, did ye want any thing? and they said, Nothing.
36 And he said to them, But now, he who has a money-bag, or a bag for food, let him take it: and he who has not, let him give his coat for money and get a sword.
Then said He unto them, But now let him, that hath a purse, take it, and his bag likewise; and let him that has no sword, sell his garment and buy one:
37 For I say to you that these words will be put into effect in me, And he was numbered among the evil-doers: for what has been said in the Writings about me has an end.
for I tell you, that this which is written must yet be accomplished in me, "And He was numbered with transgressors," for the things foretold concerning me are near at an end.
38 And they said, Lord, here are two swords. And he said, It is enough.
And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And He said unto them, It is enough.
39 And he came out, and went, as his way was, to the Mountain of Olives, and the disciples went with him.
And He came out and went, as He used to do, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed Him.
40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, Make a prayer that you may not be put to the test.
And when He was at the place, He said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41 And he went a little distance away from them and, falling on his knees in prayer, he said,
And when He was withdrawn from them about a stone's-cast, He kneeled down and prayed saying,
42 Father, if it is your pleasure, take this cup from me: but still, let your pleasure, not mine, be done.
Father, if thou art willing take away this cup from me---nevertheless, not my will but thine be done.
43 And an angel from heaven came to him, to give him strength.
And there appeared to Him an angel from heaven strengthening Him.
44 And being in great trouble of soul, the force of his prayer became stronger, and great drops, like blood, came from him, falling to the earth.
And being in agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was like clotted blood falling down upon the ground.
45 And, getting up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and saw that they were sleeping for sorrow.
And when He rose up from prayer, He came to his disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow;
46 And he said, Why are you sleeping? Get up, and give yourselves to prayer, so that you may not be put to the test.
and He said to them, Why do ye sleep? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.
47 And while he was saying these words, there came a band of people, and Judas, one of the twelve, was in front of them, and he came near to Jesus to give him a kiss.
And while He was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve apostles, came before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss Him:
48 But Jesus said to him, Judas, will you be false to the Son of man with a kiss?
and Jesus said to him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
49 And when those who were with him saw what was coming, they said, Lord, may we not make use of our swords?
But when they that were about Him saw what would follow, they said to Him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
50 And one of them gave a blow to the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
And one of them smote the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear:
51 But Jesus, answering, said, Put up with this, at least. And touching his ear, he made it well.
but Jesus said, Suffer ye thus far; and He touched his ear and healed him.
52 And Jesus said to the chief priests and the captains of the Temple and the rulers, who had come against him, Have you come out as against a thief, with swords and sticks?
Then said Jesus to the chief priests, and officers of the temple, and elders, that were come to Him, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and clubs?
53 When I was in the Temple with you every day, your hands were not stretched out against me: but this is your hour, and the authority of the dark power.
When I was day after 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 And they made him a prisoner and took him away to the house of the high priest. But Peter went after them at a distance.
Then they took Him and led Him away, and brought Him to the high priest's. And Peter followed at a distance.
55 And a fire was lighted in the middle of the open square, and they were seated together, and Peter was among them.
And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and sat down together, Peter also sat down among them:
56 And a certain woman-servant, seeing him in the light of the fire, and looking at him with attention, said, This man was with him.
and a servant-maid seeing him as he sat by the fire, and looking hard at him, said, This fellow was also with Him:
57 But he said, Woman, it is not true; I have no knowledge of him.
But he denied Him, saying, Woman, I do not know Him.
58 And after a little time, another saw him and said, You are one of them; and he said, Man, I am not.
And after a little while another person seeing him said, And thou art one of them: but Peter said, Man, I am not.
59 And after about an hour, another man said, with decision, Certainly this man was with him, for he is a Galilaean.
And about an hour after, another confidently affirmed saying, In truth this fellow also was with Him; for he is a Galilean too: but Peter answered,
60 And Peter said, Man, I have no knowledge of these things of which you are talking. And straight away, while he was saying these words, there came the cry of a cock.
Man, I know not what thou sayst. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, the cock crew.
61 And the Lord, turning, gave Peter a look. And the words of the Lord came to Peter's mind, how he had said, This night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will be false to me three times.
And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter; and Peter called to mind the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, Before the cock crow thou wilt deny me thrice.
62 And he went out, weeping bitterly.
And Peter went out and wept bitterly.
63 And the men in whose hands Jesus was, made sport of him and gave him blows.
And the men that laid hold on Jesus, insulted and abused Him;
64 And, covering his eyes, they said to him, Are you prophet enough to say who gave you that blow?
and when they had blind-folded Him, they struck Him on the face, and asked Him, saying, Prophesy who it was that smote thee.
65 And they said a number of other evil things against him.
And many other things spake they against Him, blaspheming Him.
66 And when it was day, the rulers of the people came together, with the chief priests and the scribes, and they took him before their Sanhedrin, saying,
And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people, and chief-priests, and scribes, assembled together, and ordered Him up into their council:
67 If you are the Christ, say so. But he said, If I say so you will not have belief;
and said to Him, Art thou the Messiah? tell us. And He said unto them, If I should tell you, ye would not believe:
68 And if I put a question to you, you will not give an answer.
and if I should put any question to you, ye would not answer me, nor discharge me.
69 But in the future the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.
But hereafter shall the Son of man be seated on the right hand of the power of God.
70 And they all said, Are you then the Son of God? and he said, You say that I am.
And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God?
71 And they said, What more need have we of witness? we have the very words of his mouth.
And He said unto them, I am. And they said, What need have we of any farther evidence? when we ourselves have it from his own mouth?
