Luke 22
1 And the feast of the unleavened bread, which is called a Passover, was drawing near.
Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread was drawing near, which is called the Passover,
2 And the High-priests and the Scribes were seeking, how they might get rid of him; for they feared the people.
and the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to get rid of Jesus quietly, for they were afraid of the people.
3 But Satan entered into Judas, him called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve;
Then Satan entered into Judas, the one called Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.
4 and, departing, he conversed with the High-priests and Captains, as to how, unto them, he might deliver him up.
He went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he might deliver Jesus up to them.
5 And they rejoiced, and bargained with him to give him, silver;
They were glad and agreed to give him money.
6 and he freely consented, and began seeking a good opportunity for delivering him up, in the absence of a multitude, unto them.
So he accepted the offer and began looking for an opportunity to deliver Jesus up to them in the absence of a crowd.
7 Now the day of the unleavened bread a came, —on which it was needful to be sacrificing the passover.
Then came the day for the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
8 And he sent forth Peter and John, saying—Go, and make ready, for us, the passover, that we may eat.
Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”
9 And, they, said unto him—Where wiliest thou, we should make ready?
They said to him, “Where do yoʋ want us to prepare it?”
10 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.
He said to them, “Behold, when you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him into the house he enters
11 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?
and say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher asks yoʋ, “Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?”’
12 And, he, unto you, will shew, a large upper room, spread: there, make ready.
He will then show you a large upper room that is furnished; prepare it there.”
13 And, departing, they found according as he had said unto them, and made ready the passover.
So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
14 And, when the hour arrived, he reclined, and the apostles with him.
When the hour came, Jesus reclined at the table, and the twelve apostles were with him.
15 And he said unto them—I have greatly desired, to eat, this passover, with you before I suffer;
He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
16 For, I say unto you—In nowise shall I eat it, until it have been fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
For I tell you that I will certainly not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17 And, accepting a cup, giving thanks, he said—Take this, and divide among yourselves;
Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.
18 For, I say unto you—In nowise shall I drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until, the kingdom of God, shall come.
For I tell you, I will certainly not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
19 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.
Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
20 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.
In the same way, he also took the cup after they had eaten supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
21 Nevertheless, lo! the hand of him who is delivering me up, is with me upon the table.
But behold, the hand of the one who is going to betray me is with mine on the table.
22 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.
The Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed.”
23 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!
Then they began to discuss with one another which one of them could ever do such a thing.
24 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].
A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greater.
25 And, he, said unto them—The kings of the nations, lord it over them, and, they who wield authority over them, benefactors, are called.
So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who have authority over them are called benefactors.
26 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,
But it must not be so with you; rather the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader must become like one who serves.
27 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,
For who is greater? The one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
28 Ye, however, are they who have remained throughout with me in my temptations;
“You have stayed with me in my trials.
29 And, I, covenant unto you—as my Father hath covenanted unto me—a kingdom,
And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as my Father bestowed one on me,
30 That ye may eat and drink, at my table, in my kingdom, and sit upon thrones, judging, the twelve tribes of Israel.
so that you may eat and drink at my table. And you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
31 Simon! Simon! lo! Satan, hath claimed you, to sift as wheat;
Then the Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, so that he might sift you like wheat.
32 But, I, have entreated for thee, that thy faith may not fail. And, thou, once thou hast turned, strengthen thy brethren.
But I have prayed for yoʋ that yoʋr faith may not fail. Once yoʋ have turned back, strengthen yoʋr brothers.”
33 But, he, said unto him—Lord! with thee, am I, ready, both into prison and unto death, to be going.
Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with yoʋ both to prison and to death.”
34 And, he, said: I tell thee, Peter—A cock will not crow this day, until, thrice, thou deny that thou knowest me.
Jesus said, “I tell yoʋ, Peter, a rooster will certainly not crow today before yoʋ have denied three times that yoʋ know me.”
35 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!
Then Jesus said to them, “When I sent you without a moneybag, knapsack, or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”
36 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!
Then he said to them, “But now he who has a moneybag must take it, and likewise a knapsack. And he who does not have a sword must sell his garment and buy one.
37 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.
For I tell you that this Scripture must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was numbered with the lawless.’ For what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.”
38 And, they, said—Lord, lo! two swords, here! And, he, said unto them—’Tis, enough!
So they said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough!”
39 And going out, he went, according to his custom, unto the Mount of Olives; and the disciples [also] followed him.
Then Jesus went out and made his way to the Mount of Olives, as was his custom, and his disciples followed him.
40 And, coming up to the place, he said unto them—Be praying, lest ye enter into temptation.
When he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”
41 And, he, was torn from them about a stone’s throw; and, bending his knees, he began to pray,
Then he withdrew from them about a stone's throw away and knelt down and prayed,
42 saying—Father! if thou please, bear aside this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be accomplished.
“Father, if yoʋ are willing to take this cup away from me, do so; nevertheless, not my will, but yoʋrs be done.”
43 And there appeared unto him a messenger from heaven, strengthening him, —
Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.
44 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.
Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.
45 And, arising from prayer, he came unto his disciples, and found them falling asleep by reason of their grief;
When he rose from prayer and came to the disciples, he found them sleeping because of their sorrow.
46 and he said unto them—Why are ye slumbering? Arise! and be praying, lest ye enter into temptation.
So he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
47 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.
While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd approached, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him,
48 But, Jesus, said to him—Judas! with a kiss, the Son of Man, dost thou deliver up?
and Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49 And they who were about him, seeing what would be, said—Lord! shall we smite with the sword?
When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
50 And a certain one from among them smote, the High-priest’s, servant, and took off his right ear.
Then one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
51 But Jesus, answering, said—Let be—as long as this! …And, touching the ear, he healed him.
But Jesus responded, “No more of this!” And he touched the man's ear and healed him.
52 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?
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple, and the elders who had come out against him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against a robber?
53 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.
I was with you daily in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour, when the power of darkness reigns.”
54 And, having arrested him, they led him away, and took him into the house of the High-priest; and, Peter, was following afar.
Then they arrested him, led him away, and brought him to the house of the high priest, and Peter was following at a distance.
55 And, they having kindled up a fire in the midst of the court, and taken seats together, Peter was for sitting among them.
Some had kindled a fire there in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, and Peter sat down among them.
56 But, a certain maid-servant, seeing him seating himself towards the light, and looking steadfastly at him, said—This one also, was, with him.
When a servant girl saw him sitting in the light of the fire, she looked at him intently and said, “This man also was with him.”
57 But, he, denied, saying—I know him not, woman!
But Peter denied him, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.”
58 And, after a little, another, beholding him, said—Thou also, art, from among them. But, Peter, said—Man! I am not.
After a little while, someone else saw him and said, “Yoʋ also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
59 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.
After about an hour had gone by, another man kept insisting, “Truly this man also was with him, for he too is a Galilean.”
60 But Peter said—Man! I know not what thou art saying! And, instantly while yet he was speaking, a cock crew.
But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what yoʋ are talking about!” And immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 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!
Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter, and Peter remembered what the Lord had said to him, “Before a rooster crows, yoʋ will deny me three times.”
62 [And, going forth outside, he wept bitterly.]
And Peter went out and wept bitterly.
63 And, the men who held him bound, kept mocking him, with blows;
Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody began mocking him and beating him.
64 and, blindfolding him, questioned him, saying—Prophesy! which is he that smote thee?
They also blindfolded him and kept striking his face, saying to him, “Prophesy! Who is it that struck yoʋ?”
65 and, many other things, with profane speech, were they saying unto him.
And they said many other things against him, reviling him.
66 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!
When daybreak came, the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Jesus up to their Sanhedrin and said,
67 But he said unto them—If I should tell, you, in nowise would ye believe,
“If yoʋ are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will surely not believe.
68 And, if I should put questions, in nowise would ye answer;
And if I ask you a question, you will surely not answer me or release me.
69 But, henceforth, shall the Son of Man be seated on the right hand of the power of God.
But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
70 And they all said—Thou, then, art the Son of God? And, he, unto them said—Ye, say [it], —because, I, am.
So they all said, “Are yoʋ then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You yourselves say that I am.”
71 And, they, said—What, further, need have we, of witness? We ourselves, have heard it from his mouth.
Then they said, “What further testimony do we need? For we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth.”
