Luke 22
1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which [is] called the passover, drew nigh,
Now the days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called Passover, were approaching.
2 and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, were seeking a way to execute Jesus. Yet truly, they were afraid of the people.
3 And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariote, being of the number of the twelve.
Then Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.
4 And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them.
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.
5 And they were rejoiced, and agreed to give him money.
And they were glad, and so they made an agreement to give him money.
6 And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd.
And he made a promise. And he was seeking an opportunity to hand him over, apart from the crowds.
7 And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed.
Then the day of Unleavened Bread arrived, on which it was necessary to kill the Pascal lamb.
8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat [it].
And he sent Peter and John, saying, “Go out, and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat.”
9 But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare [it]?
But they said, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”
10 And he said to them, Behold, as ye enter into the city a man will meet you, carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in;
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.
11 and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
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?’
12 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
And he will show you a large cenacle, fully furnished. And so, prepare it there.”
13 And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover.
And going out, they found it to be just as he had told them. And they prepared the Passover.
14 And when the hour was come, he placed himself at table, and the [twelve] apostles with him.
And when the hour had arrived, he sat down at table, and the twelve Apostles with him.
15 And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.
And he said to them: “With longing have I desired to eat this Passover with you, before I suffer.
16 For I say unto you, that I will not eat any more at all of it until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
For I say to you, that from this time, I will not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17 And having received a cup, when he had given thanks he said, Take this and divide it among yourselves.
And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and he said: “Take this and share it among yourselves.
18 For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God come.
For I say to you, that I will not drink from the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God arrives.”
19 And having taken a loaf, when he had given thanks, he broke [it], and gave [it] to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
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.”
20 In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
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.
21 Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up [is] with me on the table;
But in truth, behold, the hand of my betrayer is with me at table.
22 and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.
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.”
23 And they began to question together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this.
And they began to inquire among themselves, as to which of them might do this.
24 And there was also a strife among them which of them should be held to be [the] greatest.
Now there was also a contention among them, as to which of them seemed to be the greater.
25 And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called benefactors.
And he said to them: “The kings of the Gentiles dominate them; and those who hold authority over them are called beneficent.
26 But ye [shall] not [be] thus; but let the greater among you be as the younger, and the leader as he that serves.
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.
27 For which [is] greater, he that is at table or he that serves? [Is] not he that is at table? But I am in the midst of you as the one that serves.
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.
28 But ye are they who have persevered with me in my temptations.
But you are those who have remained with me during my trials.
29 And I appoint unto you, as my Father has appointed unto me, a kingdom,
And I dispose to you, just as my Father has disposed to me, a kingdom,
30 that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
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.”
31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, to sift [you] as wheat;
And the Lord said: “Simon, Simon! Behold, Satan has asked for you, so that he may sift you like wheat.
32 but I have besought for thee that thy faith fail not; and thou, when once thou hast been restored, confirm thy brethren.
But I have prayed for you, so that your faith may not fail, and so that you, once converted, may confirm your brothers.”
33 And he said to him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.
And he said to him, “Lord, I am prepared to go with you, even to prison and to death.”
34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, [the] cock shall not crow to-day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
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,
35 And he said to them, When I sent you without purse and scrip and sandals, did ye lack anything? And they said, Nothing.
“When I sent you without money or provisions or shoes, did you lack anything?”
36 He said therefore to them, But now he that has a purse let him take [it], in like manner also a scrip, and he that has none let him sell his garment and buy a sword;
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.
37 for I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned with [the] lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end.
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.”
38 And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
So they said, “Lord, behold, there are two swords here.” But he said to them, “It is sufficient.”
39 And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him.
And departing, he went out, according to his custom, to the Mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him.
40 And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
And when he had arrived at the place, he said to them: “Pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and having knelt down he prayed,
And he was separated from them by about a stone’s throw. And kneeling down, he prayed,
42 saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: — but then, not my will, but thine be done.
saying: “Father, if you are willing, take this chalice away from me. Yet truly, let not my will, but yours, be done.”
43 And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him.
Then an Angel appeared to him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in agony, he prayed more intensely;
44 And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth.
and so his sweat became like drops of blood, running down to the ground.
45 And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief.
And when he had risen up from prayer and had gone to his disciples, he found them sleeping out of sorrow.
46 And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation.
And he said to them: “Why are you sleeping? Rise up, pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
47 As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.
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.
48 And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss?
And Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?”
49 And they who were around him, seeing what was going to follow, said [to him], Lord, shall we smite with [the] sword?
Then those who were around him, realizing what was about to happen, said to him: “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
50 And a certain one from among them smote the bondman of the high priest and took off his right ear.
And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
51 And Jesus answering said, Suffer thus far; and having touched his ear, he healed him.
But in response, Jesus said, “Permit even this.” And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.
52 And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks?
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?
53 When I was day by 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.
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.”
54 And having laid hold on him, they led him [away], and they led [him] into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off.
And apprehending him, they led him to the house of the high priest. Yet truly, Peter followed at a distance.
55 And they having lit a fire in the midst of the court and sat down together, Peter sat among them.
Now as they were sitting around a fire, which had been kindled in the middle of the atrium, Peter was in their midst.
56 And a certain maid, having seen him sitting by the light, and having fixed her eyes upon him, said, And this [man] was with him.
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.”
57 But he denied [him], saying, Woman, I do not know him.
But he denied him by saying, “Woman, I do not know him.”
58 And after a short time another seeing him said, And thou art of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.
And after a little while, another one, seeing him, said, “You also are one of them.” Yet Peter said, “O man, I am not.”
59 And after the lapse of about one hour another stoutly maintained it, saying, In truth this [man] also was with him, for also he is a Galilaean.
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.”
60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, [the] cock crew.
And Peter said: “Man, I do not know what you are saying.” And at once, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
61 And the Lord, turning round, looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before [the] cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice.
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.”
62 And Peter, going forth without, wept bitterly.
And going out, Peter wept bitterly.
63 And the men who held him mocked him, beating [him];
And the men who were holding him ridiculed him and beat him.
64 and covering him up, asked him saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?
And they blindfolded him and repeatedly struck his face. And they questioned him, saying: “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?”
65 And they said many other injurious things to him.
And blaspheming in many other ways, they spoke against him.
66 And when it was day, the elderhood of the people, both [the] chief priests and scribes, were gathered together, and led him into their council, saying,
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.”
67 If thou art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not at all believe;
And he said to them: “If I tell you, you will not believe me.
68 and if I should ask [you], ye would not answer me at all, nor let me go;
And if I also question you, you will not answer me. Neither will you release me.
69 but henceforth shall the Son of man be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.
But from this time, the Son of man will be sitting at the right hand of the power of God.”
70 And they all said, Thou then art the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am.
Then they all said, “So you are the Son of God?” And he said. “You are saying that I am.”
71 And they said, What need have we any more of witness, for we have heard ourselves out of his mouth?
And they said: “Why do we still require testimony? For we have heard it ourselves, from his own mouth.”
