< Luke 22 >
1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread was drawing near, which is called the Passover,
2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill 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 Then Satan entered into Judas surnamed 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 he went, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him to them.
He went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he might deliver Jesus up to them.
5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
They were glad and agreed to give him money.
6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of the multitude.
So he accepted the offer and began looking for an opportunity to deliver Jesus up to them in the absence of a crowd.
7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
Then came the day for the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare 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 to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
They said to him, “Where do yoʋ want us to prepare it?”
10 And he said to them, Behold, when ye have entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth.
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 to the master of the house, The Master saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
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 will show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
He will then show you a large upper room that is furnished; prepare it there.”
13 And they went and found as he had said to them: and they 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 was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
When the hour came, Jesus reclined at the table, and the twelve apostles were with him.
15 And he said to them, I have earnestly 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 to you, I will not any more eat of it until it shall be 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 he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide [it] among yourselves.
Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.
18 For I say to you, I will not drink 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 he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke [it], and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do 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 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup [is] the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
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 But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me [is] with me on the table.
But behold, the hand of the one who is going to betray me is with mine on the table.
22 And truly the Son of man goeth as it was determined: but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!
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 inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
Then they began to discuss with one another which one of them could ever do such a thing.
24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greater.
25 And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them, are called benefactors.
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 [shall] not [be] so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
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 sitteth at table, or he that serveth? [is] not he that sitteth at table? but I am among you as he that serveth.
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 are they who have continued with me in my temptations.
“You have stayed with me in my trials.
29 And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed to me;
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 on 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 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired [to have] you, that he may sift [you] 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 prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
But I have prayed for yoʋ that yoʋr faith may not fail. Once yoʋ have turned back, strengthen yoʋr brothers.”
33 And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee both into prison, and to death.
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, the cock will not crow this day, before thou wilt thrice 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 to them, When I sent you without purse, and sack, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
Then Jesus said to them, “When I sent you without a moneybag, knapsack, or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”
36 Then said he to them, But now he that hath a purse, let him take [it], and likewise [his] sack: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
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 to you, that this which is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
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, behold, here [are] two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
So they said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough!”
39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his 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 when he was at the place, he said to them, Pray, that ye enter not into temptation.
When he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”
41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed.
Then he withdrew from them about a stone's throw away and knelt down and prayed,
42 Saying, Father, if thou art willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done.
“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 to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.
Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.
44 And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground.
Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.
45 And when he arose from prayer, and had come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow:
When he rose from prayer and came to the disciples, he found them sleeping because of their sorrow.
46 And said to them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
So he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
47 And while he was yet speaking, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to 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, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
and Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49 When they who were about him, saw what would follow, they said to him, 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 one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
Then one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
But Jesus responded, “No more of this!” And he touched the man's ear and healed him.
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to him, Are ye come out as against a thief, with swords and staffs?
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 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power 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 Then they took him, and led [him], and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed at a distance.
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 when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down 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 beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also 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 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
But Peter denied him, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.”
58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And 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 the space of one hour after, another confidently affirmed, saying, In truth this [man] also was with him; for he is a Galilean.
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 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, the cock crowed.
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 upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, Before the cock shall crow, 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 Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
And Peter went out and wept bitterly.
63 And the men that held Jesus, mocked him, and smote [him].
Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody began mocking him and beating him.
64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it 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 blasphemously they spoke against him.
And they said many other things against him, reviling him.
66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people, and the chief priests, and the scribes came together, and led him into their council,
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 Saying, Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not 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 also ask [you], ye will not answer me, nor let [me] go.
And if I ask you a question, you will surely not answer me or release me.
69 Hereafter will the Son of man sit 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 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that 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 need have we of any further testimony? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.
Then they said, “What further testimony do we need? For we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth.”
