Luke 22
1 The feaste of swete breed drue nye whiche is called ester
The Feast of the Unleavened Bread, known as the Passover, was near.
2 and the hye prestes and Scribes sought how to kyll him but they feared the people.
The Chief Priest and the Teachers of the Law were looking for an opportunity of destroying Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.
3 Then entred Satan into Iudas whose syr name was Iscariot (which was of the nombre of the twelve)
Now Satan took possession of Judas, who was known as Iscariot, and who belonged to the Twelve;
4 and he went his waye and comuned with the hye Prestes and officers how he might betraye him to them.
and he went and discussed with the Chief Priests and Officers in charge at the Temple the best way of betraying Jesus to them.
5 And they were glad: and promysed to geve him money.
They were glad of this, and agreed to pay him.
6 And he consented and sought oportunite to betraye him vnto them when the people were awaye.
So Judas assented, and looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them, in the absence of a crowd.
7 Then came ye daye of swete breed when of necessite the esterlambe must be offered.
When the day of the Festival of the Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lambs had to be killed,
8 And he sent Peter and Iohn sayinge: Goo and prepare vs the ester lambe that we maye eate.
Jesus sent forward Peter and John, saying to them: “Go and make preparations for our eating the Passover.”
9 They sayde to him. Where wilt thou yt we prepare?
“Where do you wish us to make preparations?” they asked.
10 And he sayd vnto them. Beholde when ye be entred into the cite ther shall a man mete you bearinge a pitcher of water him folowe into the same housse yt he entreth in
“Listen,” he answered, “when you have got into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into whatever house he enters;
11 and saye vnto ye good ma of ye housse. The master sayeth vnto ye: where is ye gest chamber where I shall eate myne ester lambe wt my disciples?
and you shall 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?’
12 And he shall shew you a greate parloure paved. Ther make redy.
The man will show you a large upstairs room, set out; there make preparations.”
13 And they wet and foude as he had sayd vnto the: and made redy ye ester lambe.
So Peter and John went on, and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
14 And when the houre was come he sate doune and the twelve Apostles with him.
When the time came, Jesus took his place at table, and the Apostles with him.
15 And he sayde vnto them: I have inwardly desyred to eate this ester lambe with you before yt I suffre.
“I have most earnestly wished,” he said, “to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
16 For I saye vnto you: hence forthe I will not eate of it eny moore vntill it be fulfilled in the kingdome of God.
For I tell you that I shall not eat it again, until it has had its fulfilment in the Kingdom of God.”
17 And he toke the cup and gave thankes and sayde. Take this and devyde it amonge you.
Then, on receiving a cup, after saying the thanksgiving, he said:
18 For I saye vnto you: I will not drinke of the frute of the vyne vntill the kingdome of God be come.
“Take this and share it among you. For I tell you that I shall not, after to-day, drink of the juice of the grape, till the Kingdom of God has come.”
19 And he toke breed gave thankes and gave to them sayinge: This is my body which is geven for you. This do in the remembraunce of me.
Then Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke it and gave to them, with the words: “This is my body, [which is now to be given on your behalf. Do this in memory of me.”]
20 Lykewyse also when they had supped he toke the cup sayinge: This cup is the newe testament in my bloud which shall for you be shedde.
[And in the same way with the cup, after supper, saying: “This cup is the New Covenant made by my blood which is being poured out on your behalf. ]
21 Yet beholde the honde of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
Yet see! the hand of the man that is betraying me is beside me upon the table!
22 And ye sonne of man goeth as it is appoynted: But wo be to yt man by whom he is betrayed.
True, the Son of Man is passing, by the way ordained for him, yet alas for that man by whom he is being betrayed!”
23 And they began to enquyre amoge them selves which of them it shuld be that shuld do that.
Then they began questioning one another which of them it could be that was going to do this.
24 And ther was a stryfe amoge the which of them shuld be taken for the greatest.
And a dispute arose among them as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
25 And he sayde vnto them: the kynges of the getyls raygne over them and they that beare rule over them are called gracious lordes.
Jesus, however, said: “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their oppressors are styled ‘Benefactors.’
26 But ye shall not be so. But he that is greatest amonge you shalbe as the yongest: and he that is chefe shalbe as the minister.
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.
27 For whether is greater he that sitteth at meate: or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at meate? And I am amoge you as he that ministreth.
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.
28 Ye are they which have bidden with me in my temptacions.
You are the men who have stood by me in my trials;
29 And I apoynt vnto you a kyngdome as my father hath appoynted to me:
and, just as my Father has assigned me a Kingdom, I assign you places,
30 that ye maye eate and drynke at my table in my kyngdome and sit on seates and iudge the twelve tribes of Israell.
so that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and be seated upon twelve thrones as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 And the Lorde sayde: Simon Simon beholde Satan hath desired you to sifte you as it were wheate:
Simon! Simon! listen. Satan demanded leave to sift you all like wheat,
32 bnt I have prayed for the that thy faith fayle not. And when thou arte converted strengthe thy brethre.
but I prayed for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. And you, when you have returned to me, are to strengthen your Brothers.”
33 And he sayd vnto him. Lorde I am redy to go with the in to preson and to deth.
“Master,” said Peter, “with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death.”
34 And he sayde: I tell the Peter the cocke shall not crowe this daye tyll thou have thryse denyed yt thou knewest me.
“I tell you, Peter,” replied Jesus, “the cock will not crow to-day till you have disowned all knowledge of me three times.”
35 And he sayde vnto them: when I sent you with out wallet and scripe and shoes? lacked ye eny thinge? And they sayd no.
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.
36 And he sayde to them: but nowe he that hath a wallet let him take it vp and lykewyse his scrippe. And he that hath no swearde let him sell his coote and bye one.
“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.
37 For I saye vnto you that yet that which is written must be performed in me: even with the wycked was he nombred. For those thinges which are written of me have an ende.
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.”
38 And they sayde: Lorde beholde here are two sweardes. And he sayde vnto them: it is ynough.
“Master,” they exclaimed, “look, here are two swords!” “Enough!” said Jesus.
39 And he came out and went as he was wote to mounte olivete. And the disciples folowed him.
Jesus then went out, and made his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, followed by his disciples.
40 And when he came to the place he sayde to the: praye lest ye fall into temptacio.
And, when he reached the spot, he said to them: “Pray that you may not fall into temptation.”
41 And he gate him selfe from them about a stones cast and kneled doune and prayed
Then he withdrew about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and began to pray.
42 sayinge: Father yf thou wilt withdrawe this cup fro me. Neverthelesse not my will but thyne be be fulfilled.
“Father,” he said, “if it is thy pleasure, spare me this cup; only, not my will but thine be done.”
43 And ther appered an angell vnto him from heaven confortinge him.
Presently there appeared to him an angel from Heaven, who strengthened him.
44 And he was in an agonye and prayed somwhat longer. And hys sweate was lyke droppes of bloud tricklynge doune to the grounde.
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 And he rose vp from prayer and came to his disciples and foude them slepinge for sorowe
Then he rose from praying, and came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow.
46 and sayde vnto them: Why slepe ye? Ryse and praye lest ye fall into temptacion.
“Why are you asleep?” he asked them. “Rise and pray, that you may not fall into temptation.”
47 Whill he yet spake: beholde ther came a company and he that was called Iudas one of the twelve wet before them and preased nye vnto Iesus to kysse him.
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;
48 And Iesus sayd vnto him: Iudas betrayest thou ye sonne of man with a kysse?
on which Jesus said to him: “Judas, is it by a kiss that you betray the Son of Man?”
49 When they which were about him sawe what wolde folow they sayde vnto him. Lorde shall we smite with swearde.
But when those who were round Jesus saw what was going to happen, they exclaimed: “Master, shall we use our swords?”
50 And one of them smote a servaut of ye hiest preste of all and smote of his right eare.
And one of them struck the High Priest’s servant and cut off his right ear;
51 And Iesus answered and sayd: Soffre ye thus farre forthe. And he touched his eare and healed him.
on which Jesus said: “Let me at least do this”; and, touching his ear, he healed the wound.
52 Then Iesus sayde vnto the hye prestes and rulers of the temple and the elders which were come to him. Be ye come out as vnto a thefe with sweardes and staves?
Then, turning to the Chief Priests and Officers in charge at the Temple and Councillors, who had come for him, he said: “Have you come out, as if after a robber, with swords and clubs?
53 When I was dayly with you in the teple ye stretched not forth hondes agaynst me. But this is even youre very houre and the power of darcknes.
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.”
54 Then toke they him and ledde him and brought him to the hye prestes housse. And peter folowed a farre of.
Those who had taken Jesus prisoner took him away into the house of the High Priest. Peter followed at a distance.
55 When they had kyndled a fyre in the middes of the palys and were set doune to geder Peter also sate doune amonge them.
But, when they had lit a fire in the centre of the court-yard and had all sat down there, Peter seated himself in the middle of them.
56 And wone of the wenches behelde him as he sate by the fyer and set good eyesight on him and sayde: this same was also with him.
Presently a maidservant saw him sitting near the blaze of the fire. Fixing her eyes on him, she said: “Why, this man was one of his companions!”
57 Then he denyed hym sayinge: woman I knowe him not
But Peter denied it. “I do not know him,” he replied.
58 And after a lytell whyle another sawe him and sayde: thou arte also of them. And Peter sayd man I am not.
A little while afterwards some one else — a man — saw him and said: “Why, you are one of them!” “No,” Peter said, “I am not.”
59 And aboute the space of an houre after another affirmed sayinge: verely even this felowe was with hym for he is of Galile
About an hour later another man declared positively: “This man also was certainly with him. Why, he is a Galilean!”
60 and Peter sayde: ma I woote not what thou sayest. And immediatly whyll he yet spake the cocke crewe.
But Peter said: “I do not know what you are speaking about.” Instantly, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.
61 And the Lorde tourned backe and loked apon Peter. And Peter remembred the wordes of the Lorde how he sayde vnto him before ye cocke crowe thou shalt denye me thryse.
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 to-day, you will disown me three times”;
62 And Peter went out and wepte bitterly.
and he went outside and wept bitterly.
63 And the men that stode about Iesus mocked him and smoote him
The men that held Jesus kept making sport of him and beating him.
64 and blyndfolded him and smoote his face. And axed him sayinge: arede who it is that smoote ye?
They blindfolded him and then questioned him. “Now play the Prophet,” they said; “who was it that struck you?”
65 And many other thinges despytfullye sayd they agaynst him.
And they heaped many other insults on him.
66 And assone as it was daye the elders of the people and the hye prestes and scribes came to gedder and ledde him into their counsell sayinge:
At daybreak the National Council met — both the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law — and took Jesus before their High Council.
67 arte thou very Christ? tell vs. And he sayde vnto the: yf I shall tell you ye will not beleve
“If you are the Christ,” they said, “tell us so.” “If I tell you,” replied Jesus, “you will not believe me;
68 And yf also I axe you ye will not answere me or let me goo.
and, if I question you, you will not answer.
69 Herafter shall the sonne of man sit on the ryght honde of the power of God.
But from this hour ‘the Son of Man will be seated on the right hand of God Almighty.’”
70 Then sayde they all: Arte thou then the sonne of God? He sayd to them: ye saye yt I am.
“Are you, then, the Son of God?” they all asked. “It is true,” answered Jesus, “I am.”
71 Then sayde they: what nede we eny further witnes? We oure selves have herde of his awne mouthe.
At this they exclaimed: “Why do we want any more evidence? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!”
