Luke 22
1 Now the days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called Passover, were approaching.
Meanwhile the Festival of the Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,
2 And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, were seeking a way to execute Jesus. Yet truly, they were afraid of the people.
and the High Priests and the Scribes were contriving how to destroy Him. But they feared the people.
3 Then Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.
Satan, however, entered into Judas (the man called Iscariot) who was one of the Twelve.
4 And he went out and was speaking with the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates, as to how he might hand him over to them.
He went and conferred with the High Priests and Commanders as to how he should deliver Him up to them.
5 And they were glad, and so they made an agreement to give him money.
This gave them great pleasure, and they agreed to pay him.
6 And he made a promise. And he was seeking an opportunity to hand him over, apart from the crowds.
He accepted their offer, and then looked out for an opportunity to betray Him when the people were not there.
7 Then the day of Unleavened Bread arrived, on which it was necessary to kill the Pascal lamb.
When the day of the Unleavened Bread came--the day for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed--
8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, “Go out, and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat.”
Jesus sent Peter and John with instructions. "Go," He said, "and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it."
9 But they said, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”
"Where shall we prepare it?" they asked.
10 And he said to them: “Behold, as you are entering into the city, a certain man will meet you, carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him to the house into which he enters.
"You will no sooner have entered the city," He replied, "than you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him into the house to which he goes,
11 And you shall say to the father of the household: ‘The Teacher says to you: Where is the guestroom, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’
and say to the master of the house, "'The Rabbi asks you, Where is the room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?'
12 And he will show you a large cenacle, fully furnished. And so, prepare it there.”
"And he will show you a large furnished room upstairs. There make your preparations."
13 And going out, they found it to be just as he had told them. And they prepared the Passover.
So they went and found all as He had told them; and they got the Passover ready.
14 And when the hour had arrived, he sat down at table, and the twelve Apostles with him.
When the time was come, and He had taken His place at table, and the Apostles with Him,
15 And he said to them: “With longing have I desired to eat this Passover with you, before I suffer.
He said to them, "Earnestly have I longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;
16 For I say to you, that from this time, I will not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
for I tell you that I certainly shall not eat one again till its full meaning has been brought out in the Kingdom of God."
17 And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and he said: “Take this and share it among yourselves.
Then, having received the cup and given thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves;
18 For I say to you, that I will not drink from the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God arrives.”
for I tell you that from this time I will never drink the produce of the vine till the Kingdom of God has come."
19 And taking bread, he gave thanks and broke it and gave it to them, saying: “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this as a commemoration of me.”
Then, taking a Passover biscuit, He gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body which is being given on your behalf: this do in remembrance of me."
20 Similarly also, he took the chalice, after he had eaten the meal, saying: “This chalice is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you.
He gave them the cup in like manner, when the meal was over. "This cup," He said, "is the new Covenant ratified by my blood which is to be poured out on your behalf.
21 But in truth, behold, the hand of my betrayer is with me at table.
Yet the hand of him who is betraying me is at the table with me.
22 And indeed, the Son of man goes according to what has been determined. And yet, woe to that man by whom he will be betrayed.”
For indeed the Son of Man goes on His way--His pre-destined way; yet alas for that man who is betraying Him!"
23 And they began to inquire among themselves, as to which of them might do this.
Thereupon they began to discuss with one another which of them it could possibly be who was about to do this.
24 Now there was also a contention among them, as to which of them seemed to be the greater.
There arose also a dispute among them which of them should be regarded as greatest.
25 And he said to them: “The kings of the Gentiles dominate them; and those who hold authority over them are called beneficent.
But He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles are their masters, and those who exercise authority over them are called Benefactors.
26 But it must not be so with you. Instead, whoever is greater among you, let him become the lesser. And whoever is the leader, let him become the server.
With you it is not so; but let the greatest among you be as the younger, and the leader be like him who serves.
27 For who is greater: he who sits at table, or he who serves? Is not he who sits at table? Yet I am in your midst as one who serves.
For which is the greater--he who sits at table, or he who waits on him? Is it not he who sits at table? But my position among you is that of one who waits on others.
28 But you are those who have remained with me during my trials.
You however have remained with me amid my trials;
29 And I dispose to you, just as my Father has disposed to me, a kingdom,
and I covenant to give you, as my Father has covenanted to give me, a Kingdom--
30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and so that you may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
so that you shall eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and sit on thrones as judges over the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 And the Lord said: “Simon, Simon! Behold, Satan has asked for you, so that he may sift you like wheat.
"Simon, Simon, I tell you that Satan has obtained permission to have all of you to sift as wheat is sifted.
32 But I have prayed for you, so that your faith may not fail, and so that you, once converted, may confirm your brothers.”
But I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail, and you, when at last you have come back to your true self, must strengthen your brethren."
33 And he said to him, “Lord, I am prepared to go with you, even to prison and to death.”
"Master," replied Peter, "with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death."
34 And he said, “I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you have three times denied that you know me.” And he said to them,
"I tell you, Peter," said Jesus, "that the cock will not crow to-day till you have three times denied that you know me."
35 “When I sent you without money or provisions or shoes, did you lack anything?”
Then He asked them, "When I sent you out without purse or bag or shoes, was there anything you needed?" "No, nothing," they replied.
36 And they said, “Nothing.” Then he said to them: “But now, let whoever has money take it, and likewise with provisions. And whoever does not have these, let him sell his coat and buy a sword.
"But now," said He, "let the one who has a purse take it, and he who has a bag must do the same. And let him who has no sword sell his outer garment and buy one.
37 For I say to you, that what has been written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was esteemed with the wicked.’ Yet even these things about me have an end.”
For I tell you that those words of Scripture must yet find their fulfilment in me: 'And He was reckoned among the lawless'; for indeed that saying about me has its accomplishment."
38 So they said, “Lord, behold, there are two swords here.” But he said to them, “It is sufficient.”
"Master, here are two swords," they exclaimed. "That is enough," He replied.
39 And departing, he went out, according to his custom, to the Mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him.
On going out, He proceeded as usual to the Mount of Olives, and His disciples followed Him.
40 And when he had arrived at the place, he said to them: “Pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
But when He arrived at the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not come into temptation."
41 And he was separated from them by about a stone’s throw. And kneeling down, he prayed,
But He Himself withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed repeatedly, saying,
42 saying: “Father, if you are willing, take this chalice away from me. Yet truly, let not my will, but yours, be done.”
"Father, if it be Thy will, take this cup away from me; yet not my will but Thine be done!"
43 Then an Angel appeared to him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in agony, he prayed more intensely;
And there appeared to Him an angel from Heaven, strengthening Him;
44 and so his sweat became like drops of blood, running down to the ground.
while He--an agony of distress having come upon Him--prayed all the more with intense earnestness, and His sweat became like clots of blood dropping on the ground.
45 And when he had risen up from prayer and had gone to his disciples, he found them sleeping out of sorrow.
When He rose from his prayer and came to His disciples, He found them sleeping for sorrow.
46 And he said to them: “Why are you sleeping? Rise up, pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
"Why are you sleeping?" He said; "stand up; and pray that you may not come into temptation."
47 While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd arrived. And he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, went ahead of them and approached Jesus, in order to kiss him.
While He was still speaking there came a crowd with Judas, already mentioned as one of the Twelve, at their head. He went up to Jesus to kiss Him.
48 And Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?”
"Judas," said Jesus, "are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"
49 Then those who were around him, realizing what was about to happen, said to him: “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
Those who were about Him, seeing what was likely to happen, asked Him, "Master, shall we strike with the sword?"
50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
And one of them struck a blow at the High Priest's servant and cut off his right ear.
51 But in response, Jesus said, “Permit even this.” And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.
"Permit me thus far," said Jesus. And He touched the ear and healed it.
52 Then Jesus said to the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates of the temple, and the elders, who had come to him: “Have you gone out, as if against a thief, with swords and clubs?
Then Jesus said to the High Priests and Commanders of the Temple and Elders, who had come to arrest Him, "Have you come out as if to fight with a robber, with swords and cudgels?
53 When I was with you each day in the temple, you did not extend your hands against me. But this is your hour and that of the power of darkness.”
While day after day I was with you in the Temple, you did not lay hands upon me; but to you belongs this hour--and the power of darkness."
54 And apprehending him, they led him to the house of the high priest. Yet truly, Peter followed at a distance.
And they arrested Him and led Him away, and brought Him to the High Priest's house, while Peter followed a good way behind.
55 Now as they were sitting around a fire, which had been kindled in the middle of the atrium, Peter was in their midst.
And when they had lighted a fire in the middle of the court and had seated themselves in a group round it, Peter was sitting among them,
56 And when a certain woman servant had seen him sitting in its light, and had looked at him intently, she said, “This one was also with him.”
when a maidservant saw him sitting by the fire, and, looking fixedly at him, she said, "This man also was with him."
57 But he denied him by saying, “Woman, I do not know him.”
But he denied it, and declared, "Woman, I do not know him."
58 And after a little while, another one, seeing him, said, “You also are one of them.” Yet Peter said, “O man, I am not.”
Shortly afterwards a man saw him and said, "You, too, are one of them." "No, man, I am not," said Peter.
59 And after the interval of about one hour had passed, someone else affirmed it, saying: “Truly, this one also was with him. For he is also a Galilean.”
After an interval of about an hour some one else stoutly maintained: "Certainly this fellow also was with him, for in fact he is a Galilaean."
60 And Peter said: “Man, I do not know what you are saying.” And at once, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
"Man, I don't know what you mean," replied Peter. No sooner had he spoken than a cock crowed.
61 And the Lord turned around and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord that he had said: “For before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
The Master turned and looked on Peter; and Peter recollected the Master's words, how He had said to him, "This very day, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times."
62 And going out, Peter wept bitterly.
And he went out and wept aloud bitterly.
63 And the men who were holding him ridiculed him and beat him.
Meanwhile the men who held Jesus in custody repeatedly beat Him in cruel sport,
64 And they blindfolded him and repeatedly struck his face. And they questioned him, saying: “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?”
or blindfolded Him, and then challenged Him. "Prove to us," they said, "that you are a prophet, by telling us who it was that struck you."
65 And blaspheming in many other ways, they spoke against him.
And they said many other insulting things to Him.
66 And when it was daytime, the elders of the people, and the leaders of the priests, and the scribes convened. And they led him into their council, saying, “If you are the Christ, tell us.”
As soon as it was day, the whole body of the Elders, both High Priests and Scribes, assembled. Then He was brought into their Sanhedrin, and they asked Him,
67 And he said to them: “If I tell you, you will not believe me.
"Are you the Christ? Tell us." "If I tell you," He replied, "you will certainly not believe;
68 And if I also question you, you will not answer me. Neither will you release me.
and if I ask you questions, you will certainly not answer.
69 But from this time, the Son of man will be sitting at the right hand of the power of God.”
But from this time forward the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of God's omnipotence."
70 Then they all said, “So you are the Son of God?” And he said. “You are saying that I am.”
Thereupon they cried out with one voice, "You, then, are the Son of God?" "It is as you say," He answered; "I am He."
71 And they said: “Why do we still require testimony? For we have heard it ourselves, from his own mouth.”
"What need have we of further evidence?" they said; "for we ourselves have heard it from his own lips."
