< 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.

6 and he agreed, and was seeking a favorable season to deliver Him up to them without tumult.
And he promised them, and was seeking an opportunity to deliver Him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
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, Going prepare for us the passover, in order that we may eat it.
9 and they said to Him, “Where do You will that we might prepare?”

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, 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.
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 say to the landlord, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

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

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 eat this no more, 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 receiving the cup, having 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 to you, I shall from now drink no more from the fruit 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 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.

21 But behold, the hand of him delivering 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.”
Indeed the Son of man goes, according to that which has been appointed: but woe to that man by 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 inquire among themselves, who then of them is the one of them about to do this.
24 And there happened also a strife among them—who of them is accounted to be greater.
And there was a contention among them, which one of them seems to be the greater,
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 Gentiles domineer over them; and those exercising 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 you are not thus: but let the greater among you be as the younger; and the leader as the waiter.
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 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.
28 And you are those who have remained with Me in My temptations,
But you are those who have remained with me in my temptations.
29 and I appoint to you a kingdom, as My Father appointed to Me,

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 say unto thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this 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.”
Then He said to them, When I sent you without purse, and valise, and sandals, did you 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,
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.
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 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.

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?
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.

57 And he disowned Him, saying, “Woman, I have not known Him.”
And he denied Him, 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 brief interval another seeing him, said, Truly, thou art one of them. And 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 about one hour having elapsed, a certain other man accosted him, saying, He was truly with Him: for he is a Galilean.
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 Him not. And immediately, he 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”;

Saying, If thou art the Christ, tell us. And He said to them, If I may tell you, you will not believe:
68 and if I also question [you], you will not answer Me or send Me away;
and if indeed I will ask you, you will not respond to me, or release me.
69 from now on, there will be the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God.”
And from now the Son of man shall be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.
