< Luke 22 >

1 And the Celebration of the Unleavened [Bread] was coming near, that is called Passover,
Now the feast of unleavened bread, which [is] called the passover, drew nigh,
2 and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they may take Him up, for they were afraid of the people.
and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
3 And Satan entered into Judas, who is surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the Twelve,

6 and he agreed, and was seeking a favorable season to deliver Him up to them without tumult.
And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd.
7 And the day of the Unleavened [Bread] came, in which it was necessary [for] the Passover to be sacrificed,
And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed.
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 prepare the passover for us, that we may eat [it].
9 and they said to Him, “Where do You will that we might prepare?”
But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare [it]?
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 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 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 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 And he will show you a large upper room furnished, make ready there”;
And he will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
13 and they, having gone away, found as He has said to them, and they made the Passover ready.
And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover.
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.”
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 And having taken a cup, having given thanks, He said, “Take this and divide to 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.”

19 And having taken bread, having given thanks, He broke and gave to them, saying, “This is My body, that is being given for you, do this in remembrance of Me.”
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 like manner, also, the cup after the dining, saying, “This cup [is] the New Covenant in My blood, that is being poured forth 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 But behold, the hand of him delivering Me up [is] with Me on the table,
Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up [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.”
and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.
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 together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this.
24 And there happened also a strife among them—who of them is accounted to be greater.
And there was also a strife among them which of them should be held to be [the] 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 to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise 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] thus; but let the greater among you be as the younger, and the leader as he that serves.
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 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 And you are those who have remained with Me in My temptations,
But ye are they who have persevered with me in my temptations.
29 and I appoint to you a kingdom, as My Father appointed to Me,
And I appoint unto you, as my Father has appointed unto me, a kingdom,
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,

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 to 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 to-day before that 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 to them, When I sent you without purse and scrip and sandals, did ye lack 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,
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 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 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 And they said, “Lord, behold, here [are] two swords”; and He said to them, “It is sufficient.”

42 saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me, but not My will, but Yours be done.”
saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: — but then, not my will, but thine be done.
43 And there appeared to Him a messenger from Heaven strengthening Him;
And an angel appeared to him 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.
And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth.
45 And having risen up from the prayer, having come to the disciples, He found them sleeping from the sorrow,

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 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 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.

57 And he disowned Him, saying, “Woman, I have not known Him.”
But he denied [him], saying, Woman, I do not know him.
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 short time another seeing him said, And thou art 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 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 and Peter said, “Man, I have not known what you say”; and immediately, while he is speaking, a rooster crowed.
And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, [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, 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 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 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. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not at all believe;
68 and if I also question [you], you will not answer Me or send Me away;
and if I should ask [you], ye would not answer me at all, nor let me go;
69 from now on, there will be the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God.”
but henceforth shall the Son of man be sitting on 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, Thou then art the Son of God? And he said to 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 need have we any more of witness, for we have heard ourselves out of his mouth?
