Luke 22
1 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, also called the Passover, was approaching.
Now the feast of unleavened bread, which [is] called the passover, drew nigh,
2 The chief priests and religious teachers were looking for a way to kill Jesus, but were afraid of what the people would do.
and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
3 Satan entered into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples.
And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariote, being of the number of the twelve.
4 He went and discussed with the chief priests and guard officers how he could betray Jesus.
And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them.
5 They were delighted, and offered him money.
And they were rejoiced, and agreed to give him money.
6 He agreed, and began to look for an opportunity to hand over Jesus when a crowd would not be there.
And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd.
7 The Day of Unleavened Bread arrived when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed.
8 Jesus sent Peter and John, telling them, “Go and prepare the Passover meal, so we can eat it together.”
And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat [it].
9 They asked him, “Where do you want us to prepare for it?”
But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare [it]?
10 He replied, “When you enter the city you'll meet a man carrying a jar of water. Follow him and go into the house he enters.
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;
11 Tell the owner of the house that the Teacher asks you, ‘Where is the dining room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?’
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?
12 He'll show you a large upstairs room that already has the necessary furniture. Prepare the meal there.”
And he will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
13 They went and found that everything was just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal there.
And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover.
14 When the time came, he sat down at the table with his apostles. He told them,
And when the hour was come, he placed himself at table, and the [twelve] apostles with him.
15 “I've been really looking forward to eating this Passover meal with you before my sufferings begin.
And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.
16 I tell you I shall not eat it again until the time is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
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.
17 Jesus took the cup, and after he had given thanks, he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves.
And having received a cup, when he had given thanks he said, Take this and divide it among yourselves.
18 I tell you that I won't drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God come.
19 He picked up some bread, and after he had given thanks, he broke it into pieces and gave it to them. “This is my body which is given for you; do this in order to remember me,” Jesus told them.
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.
20 In the same way after they had finished supper, he picked up the cup and said, “This cup is the new agreement in my blood which is poured out for you.”
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.
21 “In spite of this, my betrayer is sitting right here with me at the table.
Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up [is] with me on the table;
22 For it has been determined that the Son of man will die, yet how disastrous it will be for his betrayer!”
and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.
23 They began to argue among themselves as to who this might be and who could do this.
And they began to question together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this.
24 At the same time they also got into a quarrel about which of them was the most important.
And there was also a strife among them which of them should be held to be [the] greatest.
25 Jesus told them, “Foreign kings lord it over their subjects, and those having power even want people to call them ‘benefactors.’
And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called benefactors.
26 But it should not be so with you! Whoever is highest among you should be like the lowest, and the leader should be like a servant.
But ye [shall] not [be] thus; but let the greater among you be as the younger, and the leader as he that serves.
27 Who is greater—the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? Isn't it the one who sits at the table? But I'm among you as the one who serves.
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.
28 You have stayed with me throughout my trials.
But ye are they who have persevered with me in my temptations.
29 And I grant to you authority to rule, just as my Father granted it to me,
And I appoint unto you, as my Father has appointed unto 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 drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 “Simon, Simon—Satan has asked to have all of you to sift like wheat,
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, to sift [you] as wheat;
32 but I have prayed for you that your trust in me may not fail. And when you have returned, encourage your brothers.”
but I have besought for thee that thy faith fail not; and thou, when once thou hast been restored, confirm thy brethren.
33 Peter said, “Lord, I'm ready to go with you to prison, and to die with you!”
And he said to him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.
34 Jesus replied, “I'm telling you, Peter, before the cock crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, [the] cock shall not crow to-day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
35 Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without money, without a bag, and without an extra pair of sandals, did you lack anything?” “No, nothing,” they replied.
And he said to them, When I sent you without purse and scrip and sandals, did ye lack anything? And they said, Nothing.
36 “But now, if you have money you should take it, as well as a bag, and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
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;
37 I tell you that this statement in Scripture about me must be fulfilled: ‘He was counted with the wicked.’ What was said about me is now being fulfilled.”
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.
38 “Look, Lord, here are two swords,” they said. “That's enough,” he replied.
And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
39 Jesus left and as usual went to the Mount of Olives together with his disciples.
And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him.
40 When he arrived he said to them, “Pray that you don't give in to temptation.”
And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41 Then he left them and walked about a stone's throw away, where he kneeled down and prayed.
And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and having knelt down he prayed,
42 “Father,” he prayed, “if you're willing, please take away this cup of suffering from me. But I want to do what you want, not what I want.”
saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: — but then, not my will, but thine be done.
43 Then an angel appeared from heaven to strengthen him.
And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him.
44 In great distress Jesus prayed even harder, and his sweat fell like drops of blood onto the ground.
And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth.
45 He finished praying, stood up, and went over to the disciples. He found them asleep, worn out by grief.
And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief.
46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you won't fall into temptation.”
And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation.
47 While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared led by Judas, one of the twelve disciples. Judas went up to Jesus to kiss him.
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.
48 But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of man with a kiss?”
And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss?
49 Jesus' followers asked him, “Lord, should we attack them with our swords?”
And they who were around him, seeing what was going to follow, said [to him], Lord, shall we smite with [the] sword?
50 And one of them struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear.
And a certain one from among them smote the bondman of the high priest and took off his right ear.
51 “Stop! No more of this!” said Jesus. He touched the man's ear and healed him.
And Jesus answering said, Suffer thus far; and having touched his ear, he healed him.
52 Then Jesus spoke to the chief priests, and the officers of the Temple guard, and the elders. “Am I some kind of criminal that you had to come with swords and clubs?” he asked.
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?
53 “You didn't arrest me before, even though I was with you in the Temple every day. But this is your moment now, the time when darkness is in power.”
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.
54 They arrested him and led him away, taking him to the chief priest's house. Peter followed at a distance.
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.
55 They started a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down by it. Peter was there among them.
And they having lit a fire in the midst of the court and sat down together, Peter sat among them.
56 As he sat there, a servant girl noticed him in the firelight, and stared directly at him and said,
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.
57 “This man was with him.” But Peter denied it. “Woman, I don't know him!” he said.
But he denied [him], saying, Woman, I do not know him.
58 A little later someone else looked at him and said, “You're also one of them.” “No, I'm not!” Peter replied.
And after a short time another seeing him said, And thou art of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.
59 About an hour later, another person insisted, “I'm sure he was with him too—he's a Galilean.”
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.
60 “I've no idea what you're talking about!” Peter replied. Right then, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed. The Lord turned and looked at Peter.
And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, [the] cock crew.
61 And Peter remembered what the Lord had said, how he'd told him: “Before the cock crows today, you'll deny me three times.”
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.
62 Peter went out and wept bitterly.
And Peter, going forth without, wept bitterly.
63 The men guarding Jesus began to mock him and beat him.
And the men who held him mocked him, beating [him];
64 They put a blindfold on him, and then asked him, “If you can prophesy, tell us who hit you that time!”
and covering him up, asked him saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?
65 and shouted many other insults at him.
And they said many other injurious things to him.
66 Early in the morning the council of elders gathered together with the chief priests and religious teachers. Jesus was led before the council.
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,
67 “If you really are the Messiah, then tell us,” they said. “Even if I were to tell you, you wouldn't believe me,” Jesus replied.
If thou art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not at all believe;
68 “And if I were to ask you a question, you wouldn't answer.
and if I should ask [you], ye would not answer me at all, nor let me go;
69 But from now on the Son of man will sit at the right hand of the mighty God.”
but henceforth shall the Son of man be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.
70 They all asked, “So are you the son of God?” “You say that I am,” Jesus replied.
And they all said, Thou then art the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am.
71 “Why do we need any more witnesses?” they said. “We've heard it ourselves from his own mouth!”
And they said, What need have we any more of witness, for we have heard ourselves out of his mouth?
