Luke 22
1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called ‘Passover’, drew near.
Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the passover, was drawing near;
2 And the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to kill Him, because they feared the people.
and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
3 Then Satan entered Judas (the one surnamed Iscariot), who was numbered among the Twelve.
And Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve.
4 So he went off and conferred with the chief priests and officers about how he might betray Him to them.
And he went away, and consulted with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him up to them.
5 They were glad, and agreed to give him silver coins.
And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6 So he promised, and started looking for an opportunity to betray Him to them, without a crowd.
And he agreed with them, and sought a good opportunity to deliver him up to them in the absence of the multitude.
7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, in which it was necessary to kill the Passover lamb.
Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed;
8 And He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”
and he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may eat it.
9 So they said to Him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”
And they said to him, Where wilt thou that we make it ready?
10 He said to them: “Note, upon entering the city a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters.
And he said to them, Lo! when ye have entered the city, there will meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goeth in;
11 Then you must say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you: 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 I may eat the passover with my disciples?
12 He himself will show you a large upper room, all furnished; make preparations there.”
And he will show you a large upper room furnished; there make ready.
13 So off they went and found things just as He had said to 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, He reclined, and the twelve apostles with Him.
And when the hour had come, he placed himself at table, and the apostles with him.
15 Then He said to them: “I have fervently desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
And he said to them, Earnestly have I desired to eat this passover with you, before I suffer.
16 I tell you further that I will not eat of it again until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”
For I say to you, that I shall eat it no more, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 And taking a cup He gave thanks and said: “Take this and share it among yourselves.
And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves.
18 I tell you further that I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the Kingdom of God comes.”
For I say to you, that I shall not drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall have come.
19 Then, after the meal, He took bread, gave thanks, broke and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
And he took a loaf, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you; this do in remembrance of me.
20 He also took the cup, saying: “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.
And in like manner he took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is about to be shed for you.
21 “But alas, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table!
But lo! the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
22 To be sure, the Son of the Man is going as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”
For the Son of man indeed goeth away, as it hath been determined; but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed.
23 (They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who was about to do this.)
And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that was about to do this.
24 Now there had actually been a discussion among them as to which of them seemed to be greater.
And there arose also a contention among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
25 So He said to them: “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors’.
And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule as lords over them, and they who exercise authority over them are called benefactors.
26 But not so with you—rather let the greater among you become as the younger, and he who leads as he who serves.
But it is not to be so with you; but let the greatest among you be as the youngest; and he that is chief, as he that serveth.
27 Who is greater, the one reclining or the one serving? Is it not the one reclining? Yet I am among you as the one who serves.
For which is greater? he who reclineth at the table, or he who serveth? Is not he that reclineth at the table? But I am in the midst of you as he who serveth.
28 However, you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
Ye however are they who have continued steadfastly with me in my trials.
29 And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as my Father bestowed one on me,
And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father appointed to me;
30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom; also you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel!”
that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 Then the Lord said: “Simon, Simon! Indeed Satan has asked for you (pl) so as to sift you like wheat.
Simon, Simon, lo! Satan hath asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat.
32 But I have prayed for you (sg) so that your faith not fail completely; so you, when you have recovered, strengthen your brothers.”
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not. And do thou, when thou hast returned to me, strengthen thy brethren.
33 But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”
And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee both to prison and to death.
34 So He said, “I say to you, Peter, no rooster can crow today before you deny three times that you know me!”
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, a cock will not crow this day, till thou hast thrice denied that thou knowest me.
35 Then He said to them, “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” And they said, “Nothing.”
And he said to them, When I sent you without purse, or bag, or sandals, were ye in need of anything? And they said, Of nothing. Then he said to them,
36 So He said to them: “But now, he who has a money bag should take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword must sell his garment and buy one.
But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag; and he that hath not, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword.
37 Because I say to you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was classed with the lawless’; and because the things concerning me have an end.”
For I say to you, that this which is written must be accomplished in me: “And he was reckoned among transgressors.” For that which concerneth me also hath an end.
38 So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.”
And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to him, It is enough!
39 Then going out He went to the Mount of Olives, as His custom was, and His disciples followed Him.
And going out, he went, as he was wont, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed him.
40 When He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray, so as not to enter into temptation.”
And when he was at the place, he said to them, Pray that ye may not enter into temptation.
41 Then He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down and prayed,
And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw; and kneeling down he prayed,
42 saying, “Father, if you would just remove this cup from me—nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done!”
saying, Father, if thou art willing to remove this cup from me—yet not my will, but thine be done!
43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.
And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.
44 And being in anguish He prayed with total concentration; then His sweat became like clots of blood, falling to the ground.
And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly. And his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground.
45 When He rose up from prayer and came to the disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow.
And rising up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,
46 He said to them: “Why do you sleep? Get up and pray, that you may not enter into temptation!”
and said to them, Why sleep ye? Rise, and pray that ye may not enter into temptation.
47 But while He was still speaking—wow, a crowd; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them! He approached Jesus to kiss Him (he had given them this sign, “Whomever I kiss, it is he”).
While he was yet speaking, lo! a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, was at the head of them; and he drew near to Jesus to kiss him.
48 So Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of the Man with a kiss?”
But Jesus said to him, Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?
49 When those who were around Him saw what was about to happen, they said to Him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
And they who were about him, seeing what would follow, said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
50 And a certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear!
And one of them smote the servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 But Jesus reacted by saying, “Allow at least this!” and touching his ear He healed him.
But Jesus answering said, Permit thus far; and touched his ear, and healed him.
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, officers of the temple, and elders who had come against Him: “Have you come out with swords and clubs as against a bandit?
Then Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders who had come to him, Ye have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs;
53 When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour; even the authority of the darkness!”
when I was daily with you in the temple, ye did not put forth your hands against me; but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
54 Then they seized, took and brought Him to the house of the high priest, with Peter following at a distance.
And they seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the house of the high-priest. And Peter followed afar off.
55 Now when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.
And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat down among them.
56 Then a certain servant girl, seeing him sitting by the fire, looked intently at him and said, “This man also was with him.”
But a certain maid-servant saw him sitting at the fire, and steadily looking at him said, This man also was with him.
57 But he denied Him, saying, “Woman, I do not know him!”
And he denied him, saying, Woman, I do not know him.
58 After a little while another saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”
And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art one of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
59 Then after about an hour had passed, another started insisting, “Surely this fellow also was with him, because he is a Galilean.”
And in about one hour's time, another confidently affirmed, saying, In truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilaean.
60 But Peter said, “Man, I don't know what you're talking about!” And immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, a cock crew.
61 And the Lord turned and looked directly at Peter; then Peter remembered the Lord's word, how He had said to him, “Before a rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, that he had said to him, Before a cock crows this day, thou wilt thrice deny me.
62 And going outside he wept bitterly.
And he went out, and wept bitterly.
63 The men who were guarding Jesus started mocking and beating Him.
And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and beat him;
64 And having blindfolded Him they would hit His face and ask Him, saying: “Prophesy! Who was it who struck you?”
and having blindfolded him, they asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?
65 And they kept saying many other insulting things to Him.
And many other things did they scoffingly say against him.
66 As soon as it was day, the elders of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, came together and brought Him before their council, saying,
And when it was day, the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together, and brought him before their council, saying,
67 “If you are the Messiah, tell us.” But He said to them: “If I tell you, you simply will not believe.
If thou art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not believe;
68 But if I also question you, you will neither answer nor release me.
and if I ask, ye will not answer.
69 Hereafter the Son of the Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
But from this time the Son of man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.
70 Then they all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” So He said to them, “You say it because I AM!”
Then they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say what is true; for I am.
71 Then they said: “What further testimony do we need? We ourselves have heard it from his mouth!”
And they said, What further need have we of testimony? For we have ourselves heard from his own mouth.
