< Luke 22 >

1 And the Celebration of the Unleavened [Bread] was coming near, that is called Passover,
Now the feast of unleavened bread drew near, which is called the Passover.
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 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,
Then Satan entered into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
4 and he, having gone away, spoke with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might deliver Him up to them,
And he went his way, and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him to them.
5 and they rejoiced, and covenanted to give him money,
And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6 and he agreed, and was seeking a favorable season to deliver Him up to them without tumult.
And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him to 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,
Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must 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 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 to him, Where wilt thou that we 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, when ye have entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth.
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 Master saith to thee, Where is the guestchamber, 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 shall show 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 they went, and found as he had said to them: and they made ready the passover.
14 And when the hour was come, He reclined, and the twelve apostles with Him,
And when the hour was come, he sat down, 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,
And he said to them, I have earnestly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
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 to you, I will not any more eat of it, until it shall 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 took the cup, and gave thanks, and 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.”
For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall 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 he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave 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.
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed 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.”
And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: 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 enquire 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 was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted 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 Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon 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 greatest among you, let him be 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 who is greater, he that eateth, or he that serveth? is not he that eateth? but I am among you as he that serveth.
28 And you are those who have remained with Me in My temptations,
Ye are they who have continued with me in my temptations.
29 and I appoint to you a kingdom, as My Father appointed to Me,
And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed 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.”
That ye 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,
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as 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 thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
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, I am ready to go with thee, both into 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, before thou shalt three times 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 sack, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? 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,
Then said he to them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his sack: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, 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 to you, that this which is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for 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.”
And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
39 And having gone forth, He went on, according to custom, to the Mount of Olives, and His disciples also followed Him,
And he came out, and went, as he was accustomed, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
40 and having come to the place, He said to them, “Pray to not enter into temptation.”
And when he was at the place, he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41 And He was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone’s cast, and having fallen on the knees He was praying,
And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42 saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me, but not My will, but Yours be done.”
Saying, Father, if thou art 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;
And there appeared to him an angel 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 an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground.
45 And having risen up from the prayer, having come to the disciples, He found them sleeping from the sorrow,
And when he rose up from prayer, and had come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
46 and He said to them, “Why do you sleep? Having risen, pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
And said to them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter 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,
And while he was yet speaking, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near 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 said to him, Judas, betrayest thou 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?”
When they who were about him saw what would follow, they said to him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
50 And a certain one of them struck the servant of the chief priest, and took off his right ear,
And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 and Jesus answering said, “Permit thus far,” and having touched his ear, He healed him.
And Jesus answered and said, Permit ye even this. And he touched his 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 said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, who had come to him, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staffs?
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 forth no 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,
Then they took him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest’s house. And Peter followed afar off.
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,
And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard, and were seated together, Peter sat down 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!”
But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.
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 little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also 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 the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Surely this man also was with him: for 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 crowed.
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 he had said to him, Before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me three times.
62 and Peter having gone outside, wept bitterly.
And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
63 And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking Him, beating [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?”
And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
65 And many other things, slandering, they spoke in regard to Him.
And many other things blasphemously they spoke against 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,
And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came 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;
Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said to 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 also ask you, ye will not answer me, 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.”
After this shall the Son of man sit 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”;
Then said they all, Art thou then 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 of any further testimony? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.
