Luke 22
1 The feast of the unleavened bread, known as the Passover, was near.
Ἤγγιζεν δὲ ἡ ἑορτὴ τῶν Ἀζύμων, ἡ λεγομένη Πάσχα.
2 The chief priest and the teachers of the Law were looking for an opportunity of destroying Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.
Καὶ ἐζήτουν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς, τὸ πῶς ἀνέλωσιν αὐτόν, ἐφοβοῦντο γὰρ τὸν λαόν.
3 Now Satan took possession of Judas, who was known as Iscariot, and who belonged to the Twelve;
Εἰσῆλθεν δὲ Σατανᾶς εἰς Ἰούδαν, τὸν καλούμενον Ἰσκαριώτην, ὄντα ἐκ τοῦ ἀριθμοῦ τῶν δώδεκα.
4 and he went and discussed with the chief priests and officers in charge at the Temple the best way of betraying Jesus to them.
Καὶ ἀπελθὼν, συνελάλησεν τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν καὶ στρατηγοῖς, τὸ πῶς αὐτοῖς παραδῷ αὐτόν.
5 They were glad of this, and agreed to pay him.
Καὶ ἐχάρησαν καὶ συνέθεντο αὐτῷ ἀργύριον δοῦναι.
6 So Judas assented, and looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them, in the absence of a crowd.
Καὶ ἐξωμολόγησεν, καὶ ἐζήτει εὐκαιρίαν τοῦ παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν ἄτερ ὄχλου αὐτοῖς.
7 When the day of the Festival of the unleavened bread came, on which the Passover lambs had to be killed,
Ἦλθεν δὲ ἡ ἡμέρα τῶν Ἀζύμων, ᾗ ἔδει θύεσθαι τὸ Πάσχα.
8 Jesus sent forward Peter and John, saying to them, ‘Go and make preparations for our eating the Passover.’
Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Πέτρον καὶ Ἰωάννην εἰπών, “Πορευθέντες, ἑτοιμάσατε ἡμῖν τὸ Πάσχα, ἵνα φάγωμεν.”
9 ‘Where do you wish us to make preparations?’ they asked.
Οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, “Ποῦ θέλεις ἑτοιμάσωμεν;”
10 ‘Listen,’ he answered, ‘when you have reached the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into whatever house he enters;
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Ἰδοὺ, εἰσελθόντων ὑμῶν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, συναντήσει ὑμῖν ἄνθρωπος, κεράμιον ὕδατος βαστάζων· ἀκολουθήσατε αὐτῷ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν εἰς ἣν εἰσπορεύεται.
11 and you will say to the owner of the house “The teacher says to you – Where is the room where I am to eat the Passover with my disciples?”
Καὶ ἐρεῖτε τῷ οἰκοδεσπότῃ τῆς οἰκίας, ‘Λέγει σοι ὁ διδάσκαλος, “Ποῦ ἐστιν τὸ κατάλυμα, ὅπου τὸ Πάσχα μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν μου φάγω;”’
12 The man will show you a large upstairs room, set out; there make preparations.’
Κἀκεῖνος ὑμῖν δείξει ἀνάγαιον μέγα, ἐστρωμένον· ἐκεῖ ἑτοιμάσατε.”
13 So Peter and John went on, and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
Ἀπελθόντες δὲ, εὗρον καθὼς εἰρήκει αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἡτοίμασαν τὸ Πάσχα.
14 When the time came, Jesus took his place at the table, and the apostles with him.
Καὶ ὅτε ἐγένετο ἡ ὥρα, ἀνέπεσεν καὶ οἱ ἀπόστολοι σὺν αὐτῷ.
15 ‘I have most earnestly wished,’ he said, ‘to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
Καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, “Ἐπιθυμίᾳ ἐπεθύμησα τοῦτο τὸ Πάσχα φαγεῖν μεθʼ ὑμῶν, πρὸ τοῦ με παθεῖν.
16 For I tell you that I will not eat it again, until it has had its fulfilment in the kingdom of God.’
Λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μὴ φάγω αὐτὸ, ἕως ὅτου πληρωθῇ ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.”
17 Then, on receiving a cup, after saying the thanksgiving, he said, ‘Take this and share it among you.
Καὶ δεξάμενος ποτήριον, εὐχαριστήσας εἶπεν, “Λάβετε τοῦτο, καὶ διαμερίσατε εἰς ἑαυτούς.
18 For I tell you that I will not, after today, drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God has come.’
Λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν, οὐ μὴ πίω ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν ἀπὸ τοῦ γενήματος τῆς ἀμπέλου, ἕως οὗ ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἔλθῃ.”
19 Then Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke it and gave to them, with the words, ‘This is my body.
Καὶ λαβὼν ἄρτον, εὐχαριστήσας, ἔκλασεν καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς λέγων, “Τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ σῶμά μου, τὸ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν διδόμενον· τοῦτο ποιεῖτε εἰς τὴν ἐμὴν ἀνάμνησιν.”
Καὶ τὸ ποτήριον ὡσαύτως μετὰ τὸ δειπνῆσαι λέγων, “Τοῦτο τὸ ποτήριον ἡ καινὴ διαθήκη ἐν τῷ αἵματί μου, τὸ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ἐκχυννόμενον.
21 Yet see! The hand of the man who is betraying me is beside me on the table!
Πλὴν ἰδοὺ, ἡ χεὶρ τοῦ παραδιδόντος με μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης.
22 True, the Son of Man is passing, by the way ordained for him, yet alas for that man by whom he is being betrayed!’
Ὅτι ὁ Υἱὸς μὲν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου κατὰ τὸ ὡρισμένον πορεύεται, πλὴν οὐαὶ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐκείνῳ διʼ οὗ παραδίδοται.”
23 Then they began questioning one another which of them it could be who was going to do this.
Καὶ αὐτοὶ ἤρξαντο συζητεῖν πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς, τὸ τίς ἄρα εἴη ἐξ αὐτῶν, ὁ τοῦτο μέλλων πράσσειν.
24 And a dispute arose among them as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
Ἐγένετο δὲ καὶ φιλονεικία ἐν αὐτοῖς, τὸ τίς αὐτῶν δοκεῖ εἶναι μείζων.
25 Jesus, however, said, ‘The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their oppressors are styled “Benefactors.”
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Οἱ βασιλεῖς τῶν ἐθνῶν κυριεύουσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ ἐξουσιάζοντες αὐτῶν, ‘εὐεργέται’, καλοῦνται.
26 But with you it must not be so. No, let the greatest among you become like the youngest, and him who leads like him who serves.
Ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐχ οὕτως, ἀλλʼ ὁ μείζων ἐν ὑμῖν, γινέσθω ὡς ὁ νεώτερος, καὶ ὁ ἡγούμενος, ὡς ὁ διακονῶν.
27 Which is the greater – the master at the table or his servant? Is not it the master at the table? Yet I myself am among you as one who serves.
Τίς γὰρ μείζων, ὁ ἀνακείμενος ἢ ὁ διακονῶν; Οὐχὶ ὁ ἀνακείμενος; Ἐγὼ δὲ ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν εἰμι ὡς ὁ διακονῶν.
28 You are the men who have stood by me in my trials;
Ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε οἱ διαμεμενηκότες μετʼ ἐμοῦ, ἐν τοῖς πειρασμοῖς μου.
29 and, just as my Father has assigned me a kingdom, I assign you places,
Κἀγὼ διατίθεμαι ὑμῖν καθὼς διέθετό μοι ὁ Πατήρ μου βασιλείαν,
30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated on twelve thrones as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.
ἵνα ἔσθητε καὶ πίνητε ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης μου ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ μου, καὶ καθῆσθε ἐπὶ θρόνων, τὰς δώδεκα φυλὰς κρίνοντες τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
31 Simon! Simon! listen. Satan demanded leave to sift you all like wheat,
Σίμων, Σίμων, ἰδοὺ, ὁ Σατανᾶς ἐξῃτήσατο ὑμᾶς τοῦ σινιάσαι ὡς τὸν σῖτον·
32 but I prayed for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. And you, when you have returned to me, are to strengthen the others.’
ἐγὼ δὲ ἐδεήθην περὶ σοῦ ἵνα μὴ ἐκλίπῃ ἡ πίστις σου· καὶ σύ ποτε ἐπιστρέψας, στήρισον τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου.”
33 ‘Master,’ said Peter, ‘with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death.’
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “˚Κύριε, μετὰ σοῦ ἕτοιμός εἰμι καὶ εἰς φυλακὴν καὶ εἰς θάνατον πορεύεσθαι.”
34 ‘I tell you, Peter,’ replied Jesus, ‘the cock will not crow today until you have disowned all knowledge of me three times.’
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “Λέγω σοι, Πέτρε, οὐ φωνήσει σήμερον ἀλέκτωρ, ἕως τρίς με ἀπαρνήσῃ εἰδέναι.”
35 Then he said to them all, ‘When I sent you out as my messengers, without either purse, or bag, or sandals, were you in need of anything?’ ‘No; nothing,’ they answered.
Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Ὅτε ἀπέστειλα ὑμᾶς ἄτερ βαλλαντίου, καὶ πήρας, καὶ ὑποδημάτων, μή τινος ὑστερήσατε;” Οἱ δὲ εἶπαν, “Οὐθενός.”
36 ‘Now, however,’ he said, ‘he who has a purse must take it and his bag as well; and he who has not must sell his cloak and buy a sword.
Εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς, “Ἀλλὰ νῦν ὁ ἔχων βαλλάντιον ἀράτω, ὁμοίως καὶ πήραν, καὶ ὁ μὴ ἔχων, πωλησάτω τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀγορασάτω μάχαιραν.
37 For, I tell you, that passage of scripture must be fulfilled in me, which says – “He was counted among the godless”; indeed all that refers to me is finding its fulfilment.’
Λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι τοῦτο τὸ γεγραμμένον, δεῖ τελεσθῆναι ἐν ἐμοί, τό ‘Καὶ μετὰ ἀνόμων ἐλογίσθη’· καὶ γὰρ τὸ περὶ ἐμοῦ τέλος ἔχει.”
38 ‘Master,’ they exclaimed, ‘look, here are two swords!’ ‘Enough!’ said Jesus.
Οἱ δὲ εἶπαν, “˚Κύριε, ἰδοὺ, μάχαιραι ὧδε δύο.” Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Ἱκανόν ἐστιν.”
39 Jesus then went out, and made his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, followed by his disciples.
Καὶ ἐξελθὼν, ἐπορεύθη κατὰ τὸ ἔθος εἰς τὸ Ὄρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν, ἠκολούθησαν δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ οἱ μαθηταί.
40 And, when he reached the spot, he said to them, ‘Pray that you may not fall into temptation.’
Γενόμενος δὲ ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Προσεύχεσθε μὴ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς πειρασμόν.”
41 Then he withdrew about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and began to pray.
Καὶ αὐτὸς ἀπεσπάσθη ἀπʼ αὐτῶν ὡσεὶ λίθου βολήν, καὶ θεὶς τὰ γόνατα, προσηύχετο
42 ‘Father,’ he said, ‘if it is your pleasure, spare me this cup; only, not my will but your be done.’
λέγων, “Πάτερ, εἰ βούλει, παρένεγκε τοῦτο τὸ ποτήριον ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ· πλὴν μὴ τὸ θέλημά μου, ἀλλὰ τὸ σὸν γινέσθω.”
43 Presently there appeared to him an angel from heaven, who strengthened him.
44 And, as his anguish became intense, he prayed still more earnestly, while his sweat was like great drops of blood falling on the ground.
45 Then he rose from praying, and came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow.
Καὶ ἀναστὰς ἀπὸ τῆς προσευχῆς, ἐλθὼν πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς, εὗρεν κοιμωμένους αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς λύπης,
46 ‘Why are you asleep?’ he asked them. ‘Rise and pray so that you don’t fall into temptation.’
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Τί καθεύδετε; Ἀναστάντες προσεύχεσθε ἵνα μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς πειρασμόν.”
47 While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared in sight, led by the man called Judas, who was one of the Twelve. Judas approached Jesus, to kiss him;
Ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος, ἰδοὺ, ὄχλος καὶ ὁ λεγόμενος Ἰούδας, εἷς τῶν δώδεκα, προήρχετο αὐτούς, καὶ ἤγγισεν τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ φιλῆσαι αὐτόν.
48 at which Jesus said to him, ‘Judas, is it by a kiss that you betray the Son of Man?’
˚Ἰησοῦς δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Ἰούδα, φιλήματι τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου παραδίδως;”
49 But when those who were round Jesus saw what was going to happen, they exclaimed, ‘Master, should we use our swords?’
Ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ περὶ αὐτὸν τὸ ἐσόμενον, εἶπαν, “˚Κύριε, εἰ πατάξομεν ἐν μαχαίρῃ;”
50 And one of them struck the high priest’s servant and cut off his right ear;
Καὶ ἐπάταξεν εἷς τις ἐξ αὐτῶν τὸν δοῦλον τοῦ ἀρχιερέως, καὶ ἀφεῖλεν τὸ οὖς αὐτοῦ τὸ δεξιόν.
51 at which Jesus said, ‘Let me at least do this’; and, touching his ear, he healed the wound.
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, “Ἐᾶτε ἕως τούτου!” Καὶ ἁψάμενος τοῦ ὠτίου, ἰάσατο αὐτόν.
52 Then, turning to the chief priests and officers in charge at the Temple and the elders, who had come for him, he said, ‘Have you come out, as if after a robber, with swords and clubs?
Εἶπεν δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς πρὸς τοὺς παραγενομένους ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, ἀρχιερεῖς, καὶ στρατηγοὺς τοῦ ἱεροῦ, καὶ πρεσβυτέρους, “Ὡς ἐπὶ λῃστὴν ἐξήλθατε μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων;
53 When I was with you day after day in the Temple Courts, you did not lay hands on me; but now your time has come, and the power of darkness.’
Καθʼ ἡμέραν ὄντος μου μεθʼ ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, οὐκ ἐξετείνατε τὰς χεῖρας ἐπʼ ἐμέ. Ἀλλʼ αὕτη ἐστὶν ὑμῶν ἡ ὥρα, καὶ ἡ ἐξουσία τοῦ σκότους.”
54 Those who had taken Jesus prisoner took him away into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance.
Συλλαβόντες δὲ αὐτὸν, ἤγαγον καὶ εἰσήγαγον εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως. Ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἠκολούθει μακρόθεν.
55 But, when they had lit a fire in the centre of the courtyard and had all sat down there, Peter seated himself in the middle of them.
Περιαψάντων δὲ πῦρ ἐν μέσῳ τῆς αὐλῆς, καὶ συγκαθισάντων, ἐκάθητο ὁ Πέτρος μέσος αὐτῶν.
56 Presently a maidservant saw him sitting near the blaze of the fire. She looked carefully at him and said, ‘Why, this man was one of his companions!’
Ἰδοῦσα δὲ αὐτὸν, παιδίσκη τις καθήμενον πρὸς τὸ φῶς, καὶ ἀτενίσασα αὐτῷ εἶπεν, “Καὶ οὗτος σὺν αὐτῷ ἦν.”
57 But Peter denied it. ‘I do not know him,’ he replied.
Ὁ δὲ ἠρνήσατο λέγων, “Οὐκ οἶδα αὐτόν, γύναι.”
58 A little while afterwards someone else – a man – saw him and said, ‘Why, you are one of them!’ ‘No,’ Peter said, ‘I am not.’
Καὶ μετὰ βραχὺ, ἕτερος ἰδὼν αὐτὸν ἔφη, “Καὶ σὺ ἐξ αὐτῶν εἶ.” Ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἔφη, “Ἄνθρωπε, οὐκ εἰμί.”
59 About an hour later another man declared positively, ‘This man also was certainly with him. Why, he is a Galilean!’
Καὶ διαστάσης ὡσεὶ ὥρας μιᾶς, ἄλλος τις διϊσχυρίζετο λέγων, “Ἐπʼ ἀληθείας καὶ οὗτος μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἦν, καὶ γὰρ Γαλιλαῖός ἐστιν.”
60 But Peter said, ‘I do not know what you are speaking about.’ Instantly, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.
Εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Πέτρος, “Ἄνθρωπε, οὐκ οἶδα ὃ λέγεις.” Καὶ παραχρῆμα ἔτι λαλοῦντος αὐτοῦ, ἐφώνησεν ἀλέκτωρ.
61 And the Master turned and looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the words that the Master had said to him – ‘Before a cock has crowed today, you will disown me three times’;
Καὶ στραφεὶς, ὁ ˚Κύριος ἐνέβλεψεν τῷ Πέτρῳ, καὶ ὑπεμνήσθη ὁ Πέτρος τοῦ ῥήματος τοῦ ˚Κυρίου, ὡς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ὅτι “Πρὶν ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι σήμερον, ἀπαρνήσῃ με τρίς.”
62 and he went outside and wept bitterly.
Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἔξω, ἔκλαυσεν πικρῶς.
63 The men who held Jesus kept making sport of him and beating him.
Καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ συνέχοντες αὐτὸν, ἐνέπαιζον αὐτῷ δέροντες.
64 They blindfolded him and then questioned him. ‘Now play the prophet,’ they said. ‘Who was it that struck you?’
Καὶ περικαλύψαντες αὐτὸν, ἐπηρώτων λέγοντες, “Προφήτευσον, τίς ἐστιν ὁ παίσας σε;”
65 And they heaped many other insults on him.
Καὶ ἕτερα πολλὰ βλασφημοῦντες, ἔλεγον εἰς αὐτόν.
66 At daybreak the assembly of the elders of the people met – both the chief priests and the teachers of the Law – and took Jesus before their High Council.
Καὶ ὡς ἐγένετο ἡμέρα, συνήχθη τὸ πρεσβυτέριον τοῦ λαοῦ, ἀρχιερεῖς τε καὶ γραμματεῖς, καὶ ἀπήγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ Συνέδριον αὐτῶν
67 ‘If you are the Christ,’ they said, ‘tell us so.’ ‘If I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘you will not believe me;
λέγοντες, “Εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ ˚Χριστός, εἰπὸν ἡμῖν.” Εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς, “Ἐὰν ὑμῖν εἴπω, οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε·
68 and, if I question you, you will not answer.
ἐὰν δὲ ἐρωτήσω, οὐ μὴ ἀποκριθῆτε.
69 But from this hour the Son of Man will be seated on the right hand of God Almighty.’
Ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν δὲ ἔσται ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ‘καθήμενος ἐκ δεξιῶν’ τῆς δυνάμεως τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.”
70 ‘Are you, then, the Son of God?’ they all asked. ‘It is true,’ answered Jesus, ‘I am.’
Εἶπαν δὲ πάντες, “Σὺ οὖν εἶ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ;” Ὁ δὲ πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἔφη, “Ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι.”
71 At this they exclaimed, ‘Why do we want any more evidence? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!’
Οἱ δὲ εἶπαν, “Τί ἔτι ἔχομεν μαρτυρίας χρείαν; Αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἠκούσαμεν ἀπὸ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ.”
