Luke 22
1 It was now almost time to celebrate the festival of Unleavened Bread, which [began with] the Passover festival.
Now the feast of vnleauened bread drewe neere, which is called the Passeouer.
2 The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were seeking a way to kill Jesus. [But they wanted to do it secretly], because they were afraid that if [they did not do] it secretly, the people [might riot].
And the hie Priests and Scribes sought how they might kill him: for they feared the people.
3 Then [even though] Judas, who was called [the man from] Kerioth [village], was one of the twelve [disciples], Satan entered him.
Then entred Satan into Iudas, who was called Iscariot, and was of the nomber of the twelue.
4 Judas went and conferred with the chief priests and the officers of the Temple guards. He discussed with them how he could enable them to seize [Jesus].
And he went his way, and communed with the hie Priestes and captaines, how he might betray him to them.
5 They were pleased [that he wanted to do that]. They offered to give him money [for doing it].
So they were glad, and agreed to giue him money.
6 So he agreed, [and they gave him the money]. Then he tried to find an opportunity to enable them to seize [Jesus] when there was no crowd around him.
And he consented, and sought opportunitie to betraye him vnto them, when the people were away.
7 Then the day during the [first part of the week-long festival] of Unleavened Bread came, [the day] when [the] lambs [for the] Passover [celebration] had to be killed.
Then came the day of vnleauened bread, when the Passeouer must be sacrificed.
8 So Jesus said to Peter and John, “Go and prepare the meal for the Passover [celebration].”
And he sent Peter and Iohn, saying, Go and prepare vs the Passeouer, that we may eate it.
9 They replied to him, “Where do you [(sg)] want us to prepare it?”
And they saide to him, Where wilt thou, that we prepare it?
10 He said to the [two of] them, “Listen carefully. When you [two] enter the city, a man who is carrying a [large] jar of water will meet you. Follow him. [When] he enters [a house],
Then he said vnto them, Beholde, when ye be entred into the citie, there shall a man meete you, bearing a pitcher of water: folowe him into the house that he entreth in,
11 tell the owner of the house, ‘[Our] teacher says [that we(exc) should] ask [you(sg) to please] show [us] the room that [he arranged with you] where he can eat the Passover [meal] with [us], his disciples [RHQ].’
And say vnto the good man of the house, The Master saith vnto thee, Where is the lodging where I shall eate my Passeouer with my disciples?
12 He will show you a large room that is on the upper [floor of the house]. It will be all set up [for a meal]. Prepare the meal for us there.”
Then he shall shewe you a great hie chamber trimmed: there make it ready.
13 So [the two disciples] went [into the city]. They found everything to be just like [Jesus] had told them. So they prepared [the meal for] the Passover [celebration there].
So they went, and found as he had said vnto them, and made readie the Passeouer.
14 When it was time [MTY] [to eat the Passover meal], Jesus [came and] sat down with the [twelve] apostles.
And when the houre was come, hee sate downe, and the twelue Apostles with him.
15 He said to them, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover [meal] with you before I suffer [and die].
Then he saide vnto them, I haue earnestly desired to eate this Passeouer with you, before I suffer.
16 I want you to know that I will not eat [the Passover meal] again until all those whose lives God rules completely realize [what it represents].”
For I say vnto you, Hencefoorth I will not eate of it any more, vntill it bee fulfilled in the kingdome of God.
17 Then he took a cup [of wine] and thanked [God for it]. Then he said, “Take this, and each of you drink some of it.
And hee tooke the cup, and gaue thankes, and said, Take this, and deuide it among you,
18 I want you to know that [from now on] I will not drink wine until God makes me king.”
For I say vnto you, I will not drinke of the fruite of the vine, vntill the kingdome of God be come.
19 Then he took some bread and thanked God for it. He broke it [into pieces] and gave it to them [to eat]. He said, “This [bread represents] my body, which [I] am about to sacrifice for you. Keep on [eating bread] this way [regularly] to remember what I [have done for you].”
And he tooke bread, and when he had giuen thankes, he brake it, and gaue to them, saying, This is my body, which is giuen for you: doe this in the remembrance of me.
20 Similarly, after [they had eaten] the meal, he took [another] cup [of wine]. He said, “[The wine in] [MTY] this cup [represents] my blood, which will soon flow [from my body when I die]. [With] this blood [I will sign] the new agreement [that God is making with] you.
Likewise also after supper he tooke the cup, saying, This cup is that newe Testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 But [note that] the one [SYN] who will enable my enemies to seize me is eating right here with me!
Yet beholde, the hand of him that betrayeth me, is with me at the table.
22 [It is certain that I], the one who came from heaven, will die, because that is what [God] has planned. But there will be terrible punishment for the man who will (betray me/enable my enemies to seize me)!”
And truely the Sonne of man goeth as it is appointed: but woe be to that man, by whom he is betrayed.
23 Then they began to ask one another, “Which of us would do such a thing?”
Then they began to enquire among themselues which of them it should be, that should do that.
24 [The apostles] began to argue among themselves, saying, “Which one of us [will be] the greatest [when Jesus becomes king]?”
And there arose also a strife among them, which of them should seeme to be ye greatest.
25 So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. [Yet] they give [themselves] the title, ‘ones who help the people.’
But hee saide vnto them, The Kings of the Gentiles reigne ouer them, and they that beare rule ouer them, are called bountifull.
26 But you should not be like them! Instead, those who [want God to consider them] the greatest should [act as though they] were the youngest, [since the youngest are expected to serve the older ones]. Whoever is a leader should be one who serves [the others].
But yee shall not be so: but let the greatest among you be as the least: and the chiefest as he that serueth.
27 Keep in mind who is the most important one [RHQ]. It is certainly the one who [just sits] at the table, not [RHQ] those who serve [the meal]. But I, [your leader], have been [an example for you] by serving you [while I have been] among you.
For who is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serueth? Is not he that sitteth at table? And I am among you as he that serueth.
28 You are the ones who have stayed with me during all my troubles.
And yee are they which haue continued with me in my tentations.
29 So now, just like my Father has appointed me to rule as a king, I am appointing you
Therefore I appoint vnto you a kingdome, as my Father hath appointed vnto me,
30 so that you can sit and eat [and rule] [MET] with me when I become king. You will sit on thrones to judge the people of the twelve tribes of Israel.”
That ye may eate, and drinke at my table in my kingdome, and sit on seates, and iudge the twelue tribes of Israel.
31 “Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has asked [God to let him test you, and God has permitted him to do it. Satan wants to cause you to suffer distress] (OR, [distress you]) [so that you will not believe/trust in me any more/longer. He wants to shake you, just like a man shakes wheat in a sieve to sift it] [MET].
And the Lord saide, Simon, Simon, beholde, Satan hath desired you, to winowe you as wheate.
32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that you will not completely stop believing in me. So when you [(sg)] restore your relationship with me, help your fellow apostles [to trust in me more]!”
But I haue prayed for thee, that thy faith faile not: therefore when thou art conuerted, strengthen thy brethren.
33 Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you [(sg)] if they put you in prison, or even to die with you!”
And he said vnto him, Lord, I am ready to goe with thee into prison, and to death.
34 Jesus replied, “Peter, I want you [(sg)] to know that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you do not know me!”
But he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cocke shall not crowe this day, before thou hast thrise denied that thou knewest me.
35 Then [Jesus] asked all of them, “After I sent you out [to other villages, and you went] without taking any money or a [traveling] bag or [extra] sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They replied, “[That’s right], [we(exc) did] not [lack] anything.”
And he saide vnto them, When I sent you without bagge, and scrip, and shooes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
36 Then, [to show them that now many people would oppose them], (OR, [to show them that they needed to be prepared to protect themselves], ) he said to them, “Now [things will be different. So] whoever among you has some money should take it with him. Likewise, he should take a carrying bag. Whoever does not have a sword should sell his coat and buy a sword.
Then he said to them, But nowe he that hath a bagge, let him take it, and likewise a scrip: and hee that hath none, let him sell his coate, and buy a sworde.
37 Because, I now tell you, [something must happen to me to fulfill these words that a prophet] wrote: ‘He was treated {They treated him} as [though he were] a criminal.’ Do not forget that everything that is {that they have} written about me [in the Scriptures] must be fulfilled.”
For I say vnto you, That yet the same which is written, must be perfourmed in me, Euen with the wicked was he nombred: for doubtlesse those things which are written of me, haue an ende.
38 [One of] the disciples said, “Lord, look! We [(exc)] have two swords!” [Realizing that they did not understand the meaning of what he said], he replied to them, “That is enough [talk about swords]”!
And they said, Lord, beholde, here are two swordes. And he said vnto them, It is ynough.
39 As [Jesus] left [the city], he went, as he usually did, to Olive [Tree] Hill. His disciples went with him.
And he came out, and went (as he was wont) to the mount of Oliues: and his disciples also followed him.
40 When he came to the place [where he often spent the night], he said to them, “Pray that [God will help you] whenever something tempts you.”
And when hee came to the place, hee said to them, Pray, lest ye enter into tentation.
41 Then he went from them a distance of about 30 meters/yards. (OR, as far as someone can throw a stone.) He knelt and prayed,
And he was drawen aside from them about a stones cast, and kneeled downe, and prayed,
42 “[My] Father, if you are willing [to do it], force me [to have to undergo] these terrible things that [are about to happen to me] [MTY]. But do not do what I want. Instead, do what you want.”
Saying, Father, if thou wilt, take away this cuppe from mee: neuerthelesse, not my will, but thine be done.
43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to Jesus and caused him to become stronger.
And there appeared an Angell vnto him from heauen, comforting him.
44 He was greatly distressed. So he prayed more earnestly. His sweat fell down on the ground as though it was large drops of blood.
But being in an agonie, hee prayed more earnestly: and his sweate was like drops of blood, trickling downe to the ground.
45 When he got up from praying, he returned to his disciples. He found that they were sleeping. They were exhausted because they were very sorrowful.
And he rose vp from prayer, and came to his disciples, and found them sleeping for heauinesse.
46 He [woke them and] said to them, “(I am disappointed that you are sleeping!/Why are you sleeping?) [RHQ] Get up! Pray that [God will help you] whenever you are tempted {when something [like this] tempts you}!”
And he said vnto them, Why sleepe ye? rise and pray, least ye enter into tentation.
47 While [Jesus] was still speaking, a crowd [came to him]. Judas, [even though he was] one of the twelve [disciples], was leading them. He came close to Jesus and kissed him [on the cheek as if to greet him, but was really a signal to those with him which one was Jesus].
And while he yet spake, beholde, a companie, and he that was called Iudas one of the twelue, went before them, and came neere vnto Iesus to kisse him.
48 Jesus said to him, “Judas, (I am disappointed that it is by kissing me that you are enabling [my enemies] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven!/is it by kissing me [as though you loved me] that you are enabling [my enemies] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ]”
And Iesus saide vnto him, Iudas, betrayest thou the Sonne of man with a kisse?
49 When the [disciples] who were around Jesus realized what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, shall we [(exc)] strike [them] with our swords?”
Now when they which were about him, saw what would follow, they said vnto him, Lord, shall we smite with sworde?
50 One of his [drew his sword and] struck the servant of the high priest [to kill him, but only] cut off his right ear.
And one of them smote a seruant of the hie Priest, and strooke off his right eare.
51 But Jesus said, “Do not [do] any more of that!” He touched the [servant’s] ear and healed him.
Then Iesus answered, and said, Suffer them thus farre: and he touched his eare, and healed him.
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the Temple guards, and the [Jewish] elders who had come to [seize] him, “(It is ridiculous that you have come [here] with swords and clubs to capture [MTY] me, as [if I were] a bandit!/Why have you come here with swords and clubs to capture [MTY] me, as if I were a bandit?) [RHQ] Day after day [I was with you] in the Temple [courtyard], [and] you did not seize me! But this is the time [MTY] when [God is allowing] you [to do what you want]. It is also the time [MTY] when God is allowing [Satan, who rules] [MTY] [in] the darkness, [to do what he wants].”
Then Iesus said vnto the hie Priests, and captaines of the Temple, and the Elders which were come to him, Bee ye come out as vnto a theefe with swordes and staues?
When I was dayly with you in the Temple, yee stretched not foorth the handes against mee: but this is your very houre, and the power of darkenesse.
54 They seized [Jesus] and led him away. They brought him to the high priest’s house. Peter followed [them] at a distance.
Then tooke they him, and led him, and brought him to the hie Priestes house. And Peter followed afarre off.
55 They kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together. Peter sat among them.
And when they had kindled a fire in the middes of the hall, and were set downe together, Peter also sate downe among them.
56 As the light [from the fire] shone [on his face, a] female servant saw him and looked intently at him. She said, “This man was also with [the man whom they have arrested]!”
And a certaine mayde behelde him as hee sate by the fire, and hauing well looked on him, said, This man was also with him.
57 But Peter denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him!”
But he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
58 A little later someone else saw Peter and said, “You [(sg)] also are one of those who [were with] the man [they arrested]!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not [one of them]!”
And after a little while, another man sawe him, and saide, Thou art also of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.
59 About an hour later someone else said emphatically [about Peter], “[The way] that this man [speaks shows that he] is from Galilee [district]. Certainly this man was also with the man whom [they arrested, who is from Galilee]!”
And about the space of an houre after, a certaine other affirmed, saying. Verely euen this man was with him: for he is also a Galilean.
60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you [(sg)] are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
And Peter saide, Man, I knowe not what thou sayest. And immediatly while hee yet spake, the cocke crewe.
61 The Lord [Jesus] turned around and looked right at Peter. Then Peter remembered what the Lord had said to him, “This night, before the rooster crows, you [(sg)] will deny three times [that you know] me.”
Then the Lord turned backe, and looked vpon Peter: and Peter remembred the worde of the Lord, how he had said vnto him, Before the cocke crowe, thou shalt denie me thrise.
62 And Peter went out [of the courtyard] and cried very sorrowfully.
And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
63 The men who were guarding Jesus made fun of him and beat him.
And the men that helde Iesus, mocked him, and strooke him.
64 They put a blindfold on him and [beat him again. Then] they said to him, “[Because you(sg) say] [IRO] that you are a prophet, [prove it by] telling us who it was that struck you!”
And when they had blindfolded him, they smote him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophecie who it is that smote thee.
65 They said many other evil things about him, insulting him.
And many other thinges blasphemously spake they against him.
66 At dawn [the next morning], many of the [Jewish] leaders gathered together. The group included the chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They took Jesus to the Jewish Council. There the men of the Council said to him,
And assoone as it was day, the Elders of the people, and the hie Priests and the Scribes came together, and led him into their councill,
67 “If you [(sg)] are the Messiah, tell us!” But he replied, “If I tell you that, you will not believe me.
Saying, Art thou that Christ? tell vs. And he said vnto them, If I tell you, ye wil not beleeue it.
68 If I ask you [what you think about the Messiah], you will not answer me.
And if also I aske you, you will not answere me, nor let me goe.
69 But some day you will see [me], the one who came from heaven, sitting next to almighty God and ruling [MTY]!”
Hereafter shall the Sonne of man sit at the right hand of the power of God.
70 Then they all said, “If that is so, are [you(sg) saying that] you are (the Son of God/the Man who is also God)?” He said to them, “[Yes], it is just like you say [MTY].”
Then sayd they all, Art thou then ye Sonne of God? And he sayd to them, Ye say, that I am.
71 Then they said [to each other], “(We [(inc)] certainly do not need anyone else to testify [against him]!/Why should we ask for any more people to testify [against him]?) [RHQ]” We ourselves have heard him say [MTY] [that he is equal with God]!
Then sayd they, What neede we any further witnes? for we our selues haue heard it of his owne mouth.
