< Luke 22 >
1 And the Celebration of the Unleavened [Bread] was coming near, that is called Passover,

2 and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they may take Him up, for they were afraid of the people.

5 and they rejoiced, and covenanted to give him money,

7 And the day of the Unleavened [Bread] came, in which it was necessary [for] the Passover to be sacrificed,

8 and He sent Peter and John, saying, “Having gone on, prepare to us the Passover, that we may eat”;
And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may eat.
9 and they said to Him, “Where do You will that we might prepare?”
And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we make ready?
10 And He said to them, “Behold, in your entering into the city, a man will meet you there, carrying a pitcher of water, follow him into the house where he goes in,
And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house whereinto he goeth.
11 and you will say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?
And ye shall say unto the master of the house, The Teacher saith unto thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
12 And he will show you a large upper room furnished, make ready there”;

13 and they, having gone away, found as He has said to them, and they made the Passover ready.

14 And when the hour was come, He reclined, and the twelve apostles with Him,

15 and He said to them, “With desire I desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering,

16 for I say to you that I may eat of it no longer until it may be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”

17 And having taken a cup, having given thanks, He said, “Take this and divide to yourselves,
And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18 for I say to you that I may not drink of the produce of the vine until the Kingdom of God may come.”
for I say unto you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, [even] that which is poured out for you.
21 But behold, the hand of him delivering Me up [is] with Me on the table,
But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
22 and, indeed, the Son of Man goes according to what has been determined; but woe to that man through whom He is being delivered up.”
For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been determined: but woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed!
23 And they began to reason among themselves who then of them it may be who is about to do this thing.
And they began to question among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
24 And there happened also a strife among them—who of them is accounted to be greater.
And there arose also a contention among them, which of them was accounted to be greatest.
25 And He said to them, “The kings of the nations exercise lordship over them, and those exercising authority on them are called benefactors;
And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors.
26 but you [are] not so, but he who is greater among you—let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is ministering;
But ye [shall] not [be] so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
27 for who is greater? He who is reclining, or he who is ministering? Is it not he who is reclining? And I am in your midst as He who is ministering.
For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth.
28 And you are those who have remained with Me in My temptations,
But ye are they that have continued with me in my temptations;
29 and I appoint to you a kingdom, as My Father appointed to Me,
and I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me,
30 that you may eat and may drink at My table, in My kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

31 And the LORD said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked for himself to sift you as the wheat,
Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:
32 and I implored for you that your faith may not fail; and you, when you turned, strengthen your brothers.”

33 And he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death”;
And he said unto him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.
34 and He said, “I say to you, Peter, a rooster will not crow today, before you may disown knowing Me three times.”
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, until thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
35 And He said to them, “When I sent you without bag, and leather pouch, and sandals, did you lack anything?” And they said, “Nothing.”
And he said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said, Nothing.
36 Then He said to them, “But now, he who is having a bag, let him take [it] up, and in like manner also a leather pouch; and he who is not having, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword,
And he said unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet; and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.
37 for I say to you that this which has been written is necessary to be accomplished in Me: And He was reckoned with lawless ones; for also the things concerning Me have an end.”
For I say unto you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned with transgressors: for that which concerneth me hath fulfilment.

42 saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me, but not My will, but Yours be done.”
saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43 And there appeared to Him a messenger from Heaven strengthening Him;

44 and having been in agony, He was more earnestly praying, and His sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling on the ground.

51 and Jesus answering said, “Permit thus far,” and having touched his ear, He healed him.

52 And Jesus said to those having come on Him—chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders, “Have you come forth with swords and sticks as on a robber?
And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, that were come against him, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves?
53 While daily I was with you in the temple, you stretched forth no hands against Me; but this is your hour and the power of the darkness.”
When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
54 And having taken Him, they led and brought Him into the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following far off,

And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light [of the fire], and looking stedfastly upon him, said, This man also was with him.
57 And he disowned Him, saying, “Woman, I have not known Him.”
But he denied, saying, Woman, I know him not.
58 And after a while, another having seen him, said, “And you are of them!” And Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art [one] of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.
59 And one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain other was confidently affirming, saying, “Of a truth this one also was with Him, for he is also a Galilean”;
And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilæan.
60 and Peter said, “Man, I have not known what you say”; and immediately, while he is speaking, a rooster crowed.
But Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
61 And the LORD, having turned, looked on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the LORD, how He said to him, “Before a rooster will crow, you may disown Me three times”;
And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said unto him, Before the cock crow this day thou shalt deny me thrice.

67 saying, “If You are the Christ, tell us.” And He said to them, “If I may tell you, you will not believe;
If thou art the Christ, tell us. But he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
68 and if I also question [you], you will not answer Me or send Me away;
and if I ask [you], ye will not answer.
69 from now on, there will be the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God.”
But from henceforth shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power of God.
70 And they all said, “You, then, are the Son of God?” And He said to them, “You say [it], because I AM”;
And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
71 and they said, “What need do we have yet of testimony? For we ourselves heard [it] from His mouth.”
And they said, What further need have we of witness? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.
