< Luke 22 >
1 And the feast of the unleavened bread, called the passover, was nigh.
Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, drew near.
2 And the chief priests and scribes were seeking how they might kill Him; for they feared the people.

3 And Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

4 And having gone away, he spoke with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might betray Him to them.
He went away, and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.
5 And they rejoiced, and promised to give him money.
They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
6 And he promised them, and was seeking an opportunity to deliver Him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the crowd.
7 And the day of the unleavened bread came, in which it behooved to slay the passover.
The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover lamb must be sacrificed.
8 And He sent Peter and John, saying, Going prepare for us the passover, in order that we may eat it.
He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat."
9 And they said to Him, Where do you wish that we may prepare it?
They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare?"
10 And He said to them, Behold, you having come into the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he is going.
He said to them, "Look, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.
11 And say to the landlord, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
Tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"'
12 And he will show you a large upper room furnished: there prepare.
He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there."
13 And having gone away, they found as He told them; and prepared the passover.
They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
14 And when the hour arrived, He sat down and the apostles along with Him.
When the hour had come, he reclined at the table, and the apostles joined him.
15 And He said to them, I desired with desire to eat this passover with you before I suffer: for I say to you,
He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,
16 I eat this no more, until it may be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
for I say to you, I will not eat of it again until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God."
17 And receiving the cup, having given thanks, He said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves;
He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, "Take this, and share it among yourselves,
18 for I say to you, I shall from now drink no more from the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God may come.
for I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the Kingdom of God comes."
19 And taking bread, blessing it, He broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body given for you: do this in remembrance of me.
He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out in your behalf.
Likewise, he took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
21 Moreover behold, the hand of the one betraying me is with me at the table.
But look, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
22 Indeed the Son of man goes, according to that which has been appointed: but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!
The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed."
23 And they began to inquire among themselves, who then of them is the one of them about to do this.
They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.
24 And there was a contention among them, which one of them seems to be the greater,
There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.
25 And He said to them, The kings of the Gentiles domineer over them; and those exercising authority over them are called Benefactors.
He said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called 'benefactors.'
26 But you are not thus: but let the greater among you be as the younger; and the leader as the waiter.
But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.
27 For which is the greater, he that sitteth at the table, or the waiter? is not the one sitting? but I am in the midst of you as the waiter.
For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? But I am in the midst of you as one who serves.
28 But you are those who have remained with me in my temptations.
But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father appointed unto me,
I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,
30 in order that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and you shall sit upon thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
31 Simon, Simon, behold, Satan sought you out, to sift you as wheat:
And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon, look, Satan has demanded to have you all, to sift you like wheat,
32 but I prayed for you, that your faith may not fail you: and thou, when having turned, strengthen thy brethren:
but I prayed for you, that your faith would not fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers."
33 but he said to Him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee to prison and to death.
He said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death."
34 And He said; I say unto thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times."
35 Then He said to them, When I sent you without purse, and valise, and sandals, did you lack anything? And they said; Nothing.
He said to them, "When I sent you out without money bag, and pack, and shoes, did you lack anything?" They said, "Nothing."
36 And He said to them; But now, let the one having a purse, take it, likewise also valise: and let the one having no sword, sell his cloak and buy one.
Then he said to them, "But now, whoever has a money bag must take it, and likewise a pack. Whoever has none, must sell his cloak, and buy a sword.
37 For I say unto you, that it behooves that which has been written to be perfected in me, this, And He was numbered with the transgressors: for indeed that which is concerning me has an end.
For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: 'And he was numbered with transgressors.' For that which concerns me has an end."
38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And He said to them, It is sufficient.
They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." He said to them, "That is enough."
39 And having gone out, He departed, according to custom, into the Mount of Olives; and His disciples followed Him.
He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.
40 He being at the place, He said to them, Pray that you enter not into temptation.
When he was at the place, he said to them, "Pray that you do not enter into temptation."
41 And He was separated from them about a stone's cast; and putting down His knees, continued to pray,
He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
42 saying, Father, if this cup is willing to pass from me; moreover let not my will, but thine be done.
saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."
43 And an angel from heaven appeared unto Him, strengthening Him.
And an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
44 And being in agony He continued to pray the more earnestly. And His sweat was like drops of blood falling down upon the ground.
Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
45 And having risen from prayer, having come to His disciples, He found them sleeping on account of weariness,
When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief,
46 and He said to them, Why do you sleep? Arising pray, that you may not enter into temptation.
and said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."
47 And He still speaking, behold, a multitude and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them; and he drew near to Jesus to kiss Him.
While he was still speaking, look, a crowd came, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.
48 And Jesus said to him, Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?
But Jesus said to him, "Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"
49 And those around Him seeing what was coming on Him, said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, "Lord, should we strike with the sword?"
50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 And Jesus responding said, Hold on until this: and touching his ear, healed him.
But Jesus answered and said, "No more of this." Then he touched his ear and healed him.
52 Jesus said to the high priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders who were assembled to Him; You have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs.
Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
53 I being daily with you in the temple, you reached not out your hands unto me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
When I was with you in the temple daily, you did not stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."
54 And taking Him, they led Him away, and led Him into the house of the chief priest. And Peter followed Him a long way off.
They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from a distance.
55 And having lighted a fire in the midst of the court, and they sitting together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them.
When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.
56 And a certain maidservant, seeing him sitting at the fire, and fixing her eyes on him, said, This man was with Him.
A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with him."
57 And he denied Him, saying, Woman, I know Him not.
But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know him."
58 And after a brief interval another seeing him, said, Truly, thou art one of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
After a little while someone else saw him, and said, "You also are one of them." But Peter answered, "Man, I am not."
59 And about one hour having elapsed, a certain other man accosted him, saying, He was truly with Him: for he is a Galilean.
After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean."
60 And Peter said, Man, I know Him not. And immediately, he yet speaking, the cock crew.
But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 And the Lord turning, looked upon Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He said to him, that, Before the cock shall crow thou shalt deny me thrice.
The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord's word, how he said to him, "Before the rooster crows today you will deny me three times."
62 And having gone out, he wept bitterly.
And he went out, and wept bitterly.
63 And the men having Him, began to mock, beating Him,
The men who held him began mocking and beating him.
64 and covering Him, they continued to ask saying, Prophesy, who is the one smiting thee.
And having blindfolded him, they were striking his face and kept asking him, saying, "Prophesy, who is the one who struck you?"
65 And blaspheming, they continued to speak many other things against Him.
They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.
66 And when it was day, the eldership of the people was convened, and the chief priests and scribes, and they led Him into their sanhedrim.
As soon as it was day, the council of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,
67 Saying, If thou art the Christ, tell us. And He said to them, If I may tell you, you will not believe:
"If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you won't believe,
68 and if indeed I will ask you, you will not respond to me, or release me.
and if I ask, you will not answer me, or let me go.
69 And from now the Son of man shall be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.
From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."
70 And all said, Art thou the Son of God? And He said to them, You say that I am.
They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?" He said to them, "You say that I am."
71 And they said, Why have we yet need of testimony? for we heard from His own mouth.
They said, "Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth."
