Luke 22
1 And the Celebration of the Unleavened [Bread] was coming near, that is called Passover,
Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, also called the Passover, was approaching.
2 and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they may take Him up, for they were afraid of the people.
The chief priests and religious teachers were looking for a way to kill Jesus, but were afraid of what the people would do.
3 And Satan entered into Judas, who is surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the Twelve,
Satan entered into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples.
4 and he, having gone away, spoke with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might deliver Him up to them,
He went and discussed with the chief priests and guard officers how he could betray Jesus.
5 and they rejoiced, and covenanted to give him money,
They were delighted, and offered him money.
6 and he agreed, and was seeking a favorable season to deliver Him up to them without tumult.
He agreed, and began to look for an opportunity to hand over Jesus when a crowd would not be there.
7 And the day of the Unleavened [Bread] came, in which it was necessary [for] the Passover to be sacrificed,
The Day of Unleavened Bread arrived when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
8 and He sent Peter and John, saying, “Having gone on, prepare to us the Passover, that we may eat”;
Jesus sent Peter and John, telling them, “Go and prepare the Passover meal, so we can eat it together.”
9 and they said to Him, “Where do You will that we might prepare?”
They asked him, “Where do you want us to prepare for 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,
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.
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?
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?’
12 And he will show you a large upper room furnished, make ready there”;
He'll show you a large upstairs room that already has the necessary furniture. Prepare the meal there.”
13 and they, having gone away, found as He has said to them, and they made the Passover ready.
They went and found that everything was just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal there.
14 And when the hour was come, He reclined, and the twelve apostles with Him,
When the time came, he sat down at the table with his apostles. He told them,
15 and He said to them, “With desire I desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering,
“I've been really looking forward to eating this Passover meal with you before my sufferings begin.
16 for I say to you that I may eat of it no longer until it may be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”
I tell you I shall not eat it again until the time is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17 And having taken a cup, having given thanks, He said, “Take this and divide to yourselves,
Jesus took the cup, and after he had given thanks, he said, “Take this and share 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.”
I tell you that I won't drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
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.”
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.
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 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.”
21 But behold, the hand of him delivering Me up [is] with Me on the table,
“In spite of this, my betrayer is sitting right here with me at 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 it has been determined that the Son of man will die, yet how disastrous it will be for his betrayer!”
23 And they began to reason among themselves who then of them it may be who is about to do this thing.
They began to argue among themselves as to who this might be and who could do this.
24 And there happened also a strife among them—who of them is accounted to be greater.
At the same time they also got into a quarrel about which of them was the most important.
25 And He said to them, “The kings of the nations exercise lordship over them, and those exercising authority on them are called benefactors;
Jesus told them, “Foreign kings lord it over their subjects, and those having power even want people to call them ‘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 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.
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.
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.
28 And you are those who have remained with Me in My temptations,
You have stayed with me throughout my trials.
29 and I appoint to you a kingdom, as My Father appointed to Me,
And I grant to you authority to rule, just as my Father granted it to 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.”
so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and 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—Satan has asked to have all of you to sift like wheat,
32 and I implored for you that your faith may not fail; and you, when you turned, strengthen your brothers.”
but I have prayed for you that your trust in me may not fail. And when you have returned, encourage your brothers.”
33 And he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death”;
Peter said, “Lord, I'm ready to go with you to prison, and to die with you!”
34 and He said, “I say to you, Peter, a rooster will not crow today, before you may disown knowing Me three times.”
Jesus replied, “I'm telling you, Peter, before the cock crows today, you will deny three times that you know 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.”
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.
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,
“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.
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.”
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.”
38 And they said, “Lord, behold, here [are] two swords”; and He said to them, “It is sufficient.”
“Look, Lord, here are two swords,” they said. “That's enough,” he replied.
39 And having gone forth, He went on, according to custom, to the Mount of Olives, and His disciples also followed Him,
Jesus left and as usual went to the Mount of Olives together with his disciples.
40 and having come to the place, He said to them, “Pray to not enter into temptation.”
When he arrived he said to them, “Pray that you don't give in to temptation.”
41 And He was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone’s cast, and having fallen on the knees He was praying,
Then he left them and walked about a stone's throw away, where he kneeled down and prayed.
42 saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me, but not My will, but Yours be done.”
“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.”
43 And there appeared to Him a messenger from Heaven strengthening Him;
Then an angel appeared from heaven to strengthen 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.
In great distress Jesus prayed even harder, and his sweat fell like drops of blood onto the ground.
45 And having risen up from the prayer, having come to the disciples, He found them sleeping from the sorrow,
He finished praying, stood up, and went over to the disciples. He found them asleep, worn out by grief.
46 and He said to them, “Why do you sleep? Having risen, pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
“Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you won't fall into temptation.”
47 And while He is speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who is called Judas, one of the Twelve, was coming before them, and he came near to Jesus to kiss Him,
While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared led by Judas, one of the twelve disciples. Judas went up to Jesus to kiss him.
48 and Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you deliver up the Son of Man with a kiss?”
But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of man with a kiss?”
49 And those around Him, having seen what was about to be, said to Him, “Lord, will we strike with a sword?”
Jesus' followers asked him, “Lord, should we attack them with our swords?”
50 And a certain one of them struck the servant of the chief priest, and took off his right ear,
And one of them struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear.
51 and Jesus answering said, “Permit thus far,” and having touched his ear, He healed him.
“Stop! No more of this!” said Jesus. He touched the man's ear and 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?
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.
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.”
“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.”
54 And having taken Him, they led and brought Him into the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following far off,
They arrested him and led him away, taking him to the chief priest's house. Peter followed at a distance.
55 and they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them,
They started a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down by it. Peter was there among them.
56 and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, “And this one was with Him!”
As he sat there, a servant girl noticed him in the firelight, and stared directly at him and said,
57 And he disowned Him, saying, “Woman, I have not known Him.”
“This man was with him.” But Peter denied it. “Woman, I don't know him!” he said.
58 And after a while, another having seen him, said, “And you are of them!” And Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
A little later someone else looked at him and said, “You're also one of them.” “No, I'm not!” Peter replied.
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”;
About an hour later, another person insisted, “I'm sure he was with him too—he's a Galilean.”
60 and Peter said, “Man, I have not known what you say”; and immediately, while he is speaking, a rooster crowed.
“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.
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 Peter remembered what the Lord had said, how he'd told him: “Before the cock crows today, you'll deny me three times.”
62 and Peter having gone outside, wept bitterly.
Peter went out and wept bitterly.
63 And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking Him, beating [Him];
The men guarding Jesus began to mock him and beat him.
64 and having blindfolded Him, they were striking Him on the face, and were questioning Him, saying, “Prophesy who he is who struck You?”
They put a blindfold on him, and then asked him, “If you can prophesy, tell us who hit you that time!”
65 And many other things, slandering, they spoke in regard to Him.
and shouted many other insults at him.
66 And when it became day there was gathered together the eldership of the people, chief priests also, and scribes, and they led Him up to their own Sanhedrin,
Early in the morning the council of elders gathered together with the chief priests and religious teachers. Jesus was led before the council.
67 saying, “If You are the Christ, tell us.” And He said to them, “If I may tell you, you will not believe;
“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.
68 and if I also question [you], you will not answer Me or send Me away;
“And if I were to ask you a question, you wouldn't answer.
69 from now on, there will be the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God.”
But from now on the Son of man will sit at the right hand of the mighty God.”
70 And they all said, “You, then, are the Son of God?” And He said to them, “You say [it], because I AM”;
They all asked, “So are you the son of God?” “You say that I am,” Jesus replied.
71 and they said, “What need do we have yet of testimony? For we ourselves heard [it] from His mouth.”
“Why do we need any more witnesses?” they said. “We've heard it ourselves from his own mouth!”
