< Luke 22 >
1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, drew near.
And the feast of the unleavened bread, which is called a Passover, was drawing near.
2 The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him, for they feared the people.
And the High-priests and the Scribes were seeking, how they might get rid of him; for they feared the people.
3 Satan entered into Judas, who was called Iscariot, who was numbered with the twelve.
But Satan entered into Judas, him called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve;
4 He went away, and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.
and, departing, he conversed with the High-priests and Captains, as to how, unto them, he might deliver him up.
5 They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
And they rejoiced, and bargained with him to give him, silver;
6 He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the crowd.
and he freely consented, and began seeking a good opportunity for delivering him up, in the absence of a multitude, unto them.
7 The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover lamb must be sacrificed.
Now the day of the unleavened bread a came, —on which it was needful to be sacrificing the passover.
8 He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat."
And he sent forth Peter and John, saying—Go, and make ready, for us, the passover, that we may eat.
9 They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare?"
And, they, said unto him—Where wiliest thou, we should make ready?
10 He said to them, "Look, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.
And, he, said unto them—Lo! when ye have entered into the city, there will meet you a man, bearing, an earthen-jar of water: follow him into the house into which he is entering.
11 Tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room, 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 lodging, where, the passover, with my disciples, I may eat?
12 He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there."
And, he, unto you, will shew, a large upper room, spread: there, make ready.
13 They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
And, departing, they found according as he had said unto them, and made ready the passover.
14 When the hour had come, he reclined at the table, and the apostles joined him.
And, when the hour arrived, he reclined, and the apostles with him.
15 He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,
And he said unto them—I have greatly desired, to eat, this passover, with you before I suffer;
16 for I say to you, I will not eat of it again until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God."
For, I say unto you—In nowise shall I eat it, until it have been fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, "Take this, and share it among yourselves,
And, accepting a cup, giving thanks, he said—Take this, and divide among yourselves;
18 for I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the Kingdom of God comes."
For, I say unto you—In nowise shall I drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until, the kingdom of God, shall come.
19 He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
And, taking a loaf, he gave thanks, and brake, and gave unto them, saying—This is my body which in your behalf is being given: this, be ye doing, in remembrance, of me.
20 Likewise, he took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
And—the cup, in like manner, after the taking of supper, saying—This cup, is the new covenant in my blood, which, in your behalf, is to be poured out.
21 But look, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
Nevertheless, lo! the hand of him who is delivering me up, is with me upon the table.
22 The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed."
Because, the Son of Man, indeed, according to what is marked out, goeth his way; nevertheless, alas! for that man through whom he is being delivered up.
23 They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.
And, they, began to be enquiring together, among themselves, as to which, then, it could be, from among them, who, this thing, was about to perpetrate!
24 There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.
And it came to pass that there was, a rivalry also, among them, as to which of them seemed to be greater [than the rest].
25 He said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called 'benefactors.'
And, he, said unto them—The kings of the nations, lord it over them, and, they who wield authority over them, benefactors, are called.
26 But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.
But, ye, not so! On the contrary—the greater among you, Let him become as, the younger, and, he that governeth, as, he that ministereth,
27 For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? But I am in the midst of you as one who serves.
For which is greater—he that reclineth? or he that ministereth? Is not he that reclineth? But, I, am, in your midst, as he that ministereth,
28 But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
Ye, however, are they who have remained throughout with me in my temptations;
29 I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,
And, I, covenant unto you—as my Father hath covenanted unto me—a kingdom,
30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
That ye may eat and drink, at my table, in my kingdom, and sit upon thrones, judging, the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon, look, Satan has demanded to have you all, to sift you like wheat,
Simon! Simon! lo! Satan, hath claimed you, to sift as wheat;
32 but I prayed for you, that your faith would not fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers."
But, I, have entreated for thee, that thy faith may not fail. And, thou, once thou hast turned, strengthen thy brethren.
33 He said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death."
But, he, said unto him—Lord! with thee, am I, ready, both into prison and unto death, to be going.
34 He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times."
And, he, said: I tell thee, Peter—A cock will not crow this day, until, thrice, thou deny that thou knowest me.
35 He said to them, "When I sent you out without money bag, and pack, and shoes, did you lack anything?" They said, "Nothing."
And he said unto them—When I sent you forth, without purse or satchel or sandals, of anything, came ye short? And, they, said—Of nothing!
36 Then he said to them, "But now, whoever has a money bag must take it, and likewise a pack. Whoever has none, must sell his cloak, and buy a sword.
And he said unto them—But, now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, in like manner also, a satchel; and, he that hath nothing, let him sell his mantle, and buy a sword!
37 For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: 'And he was numbered with transgressors.' For that which concerns me has an end."
For I say unto you—This that is written, must needs be completed in me, —And, with lawless ones, was he reckoned; for, even that which concerneth me, hath, completion.
38 They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." He said to them, "That is enough."
And, they, said—Lord, lo! two swords, here! And, he, said unto them—’Tis, enough!
39 He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.
And going out, he went, according to his custom, unto the Mount of Olives; and the disciples [also] followed him.
40 When he was at the place, he said to them, "Pray that you do not enter into temptation."
And, coming up to the place, he said unto them—Be praying, lest ye enter into temptation.
41 He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
And, he, was torn from them about a stone’s throw; and, bending his knees, he began to pray,
42 saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."
saying—Father! if thou please, bear aside this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be accomplished.
43 And an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
And there appeared unto him a messenger from heaven, strengthening him, —
44 Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
and, coming to be in an agony, more intensely, was he praying; and his perspiration became, as if great drops of blood, falling upon the ground.
45 When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief,
And, arising from prayer, he came unto his disciples, and found them falling asleep by reason of their grief;
46 and said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."
and he said unto them—Why are ye slumbering? Arise! and be praying, lest ye enter into temptation.
47 While he was still speaking, look, a crowd came, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.
While yet he was speaking, lo! a multitude; and, he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them on, —and he drew near unto Jesus, to kiss him.
48 But Jesus said to him, "Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"
But, Jesus, said to him—Judas! with a kiss, the Son of Man, dost thou deliver up?
49 When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, "Lord, should we strike with the sword?"
And they who were about him, seeing what would be, said—Lord! shall we smite with the sword?
50 A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
And a certain one from among them smote, the High-priest’s, servant, and took off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answered and said, "No more of this." Then he touched his ear and healed him.
But Jesus, answering, said—Let be—as long as this! …And, touching the ear, he healed him.
52 Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
And Jesus said unto the High-priests, and Captains of the temple, and Elders, who had come against him—As against a robber, have ye come out, with swords and clubs?
53 When I was with you in the temple daily, you did not stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."
Daily, was I with you, in the temple, and yet ye stretched not forth your hands against me! …But, this, is your hour, and the authority of darkness.
54 They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from a distance.
And, having arrested him, they led him away, and took him into the house of the High-priest; and, Peter, was following afar.
55 When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.
And, they having kindled up a fire in the midst of the court, and taken seats together, Peter was for sitting among them.
56 A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with him."
But, a certain maid-servant, seeing him seating himself towards the light, and looking steadfastly at him, said—This one also, was, with him.
57 But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know him."
But, he, denied, saying—I know him not, woman!
58 After a little while someone else saw him, and said, "You also are one of them." But Peter answered, "Man, I am not."
And, after a little, another, beholding him, said—Thou also, art, from among them. But, Peter, said—Man! I am not.
59 After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean."
And, about one hour having passed, a certain other, began stoutly to insist, saying—Of a truth, this one also, was with him; for indeed he is, a Galilaean.
60 But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
But Peter said—Man! I know not what thou art saying! And, instantly while yet he was speaking, a cock crew.
61 The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord's word, how he said to him, "Before the rooster crows today you will deny me three times."
And the Lord turned, and looked at Peter; and Peter was put in mind of the declaration of the Lord, how he had said to him—Before, a cock, crow this day, thou wilt deny me thrice!
62 And he went out, and wept bitterly.
[And, going forth outside, he wept bitterly.]
63 The men who held him began mocking and beating him.
And, the men who held him bound, kept mocking him, with blows;
64 And having blindfolded him, they were striking his face and kept asking him, saying, "Prophesy, who is the one who struck you?"
and, blindfolding him, questioned him, saying—Prophesy! which is he that smote thee?
65 They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.
and, many other things, with profane speech, were they saying unto him.
66 As soon as it was day, the council of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,
And, when it became day, the Eldership of the people was gathered together—both High-priests and Scribes, —and they led him away into their high-council, saying—If, thou, art the Christ, tell us!
67 "If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you won't believe,
But he said unto them—If I should tell, you, in nowise would ye believe,
68 and if I ask, you will not answer me, or let me go.
And, if I should put questions, in nowise would ye answer;
69 From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."
But, henceforth, shall the Son of Man be seated on the right hand of the power of God.
70 They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?" He said to them, "You say that I am."
And they all said—Thou, then, art the Son of God? And, he, unto them said—Ye, say [it], —because, I, am.
71 They said, "Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth."
And, they, said—What, further, need have we, of witness? We ourselves, have heard it from his mouth.
