Luke 22
1 Meanwhile the Festival of the Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,
Now the feast of unleavened bread, called the passover, being near,
2 and the High Priests and the Scribes were contriving how to destroy Him. But they feared the people.
the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him, for they feared the people.
3 Satan, however, entered into Judas (the man called Iscariot) who was one of the Twelve.
Then Satan entered into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve.
4 He went and conferred with the High Priests and Commanders as to how he should deliver Him up to them.
And he went and concerted with the chief priests and officers, how he might deliver Jesus into their hands.
5 This gave them great pleasure, and they agreed to pay him.
And they were glad, and agreed to give him a certain sum,
6 He accepted their offer, and then looked out for an opportunity to betray Him when the people were not there.
which Judas having accepted, watched an opportunity to deliver him up without tumult.
7 When the day of the Unleavened Bread came--the day for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed--
Now, this day of unleavened bread being come, on which the passover must be sacrificed,
8 Jesus sent Peter and John with instructions. "Go," He said, "and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it."
Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare for us the passover, that we may eat it.
9 "Where shall we prepare it?" they asked.
They asked him, Where shall we prepare it?
10 "You will no sooner have entered the city," He replied, "than you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him into the house to which he goes,
He answered, When you enter the city, you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house which he shall enter,
11 and say to the master of the house, "'The Rabbi asks you, Where is the room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?'
and say to the master of the house, The Teacher asks you, Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
12 "And he will show you a large furnished room upstairs. There make your preparations."
And he will show you a large upper room, furnished; make ready there.
13 So they went and found all as He had told them; and they got the Passover ready.
So they went, and having found everything as he had told them, prepared the passover.
14 When the time was come, and He had taken His place at table, and the Apostles with Him,
When the hour was come, he placed himself at table with the twelve Apostles,
15 He said to them, "Earnestly have I longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;
and said to them, Much have I longed to eat this passover with you,
16 for I tell you that I certainly shall not eat one again till its full meaning has been brought out in the Kingdom of God."
that I will never partake of another, until it be accomplished in the kingdom of God.
17 Then, having received the cup and given thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves;
Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks, and said, Take this, and share it amongst you;
18 for I tell you that from this time I will never drink the produce of the vine till the Kingdom of God has come."
for I assure you, that I will not again drink of the product of the vine, until the Reign of God be come.
19 Then, taking a Passover biscuit, He gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body which is being given on your behalf: this do in remembrance of me."
Then he took bread, and having given thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in commemoration of me.
20 He gave them the cup in like manner, when the meal was over. "This cup," He said, "is the new Covenant ratified by my blood which is to be poured out on your behalf.
He likewise gave the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new Institution in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 Yet the hand of him who is betraying me is at the table with me.
Mark, however, that the hand of him who betrays me, is on the table with mine.
22 For indeed the Son of Man goes on His way--His pre-destined way; yet alas for that man who is betraying Him!"
The Son of Man is going away, as has been determined: nevertheless, alas, for that man by whom he is betrayed!
23 Thereupon they began to discuss with one another which of them it could possibly be who was about to do this.
Then they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it could be that would do this.
24 There arose also a dispute among them which of them should be regarded as greatest.
There had been, also, a contention amongst them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
25 But He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles are their masters, and those who exercise authority over them are called Benefactors.
And he said to them, The king of the nations exercise dominion over them; and they who oppress them, are styled benefactors.
26 With you it is not so; but let the greatest among you be as the younger, and the leader be like him who serves.
But with you, it must be otherwise: nay, let the greatest amongst you be as the least; and him who governs, as he who serves.
27 For which is the greater--he who sits at table, or he who waits on him? Is it not he who sits at table? But my position among you is that of one who waits on others.
For, which is greater, he who is at table, or he who serves? Is not he that is at table? Yet I am amongst you as one who serves.
28 You however have remained with me amid my trials;
You are they who have continued with me in my trials.
29 and I covenant to give you, as my Father has covenanted to give me, a Kingdom--
And I grant to you, (forasmuch as my Father has granted me a kingdom, )
30 so that you shall eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and sit on thrones as judges over the twelve tribes of Israel.
to eat, and to drink at my table, in my kingdom, and to sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 "Simon, Simon, I tell you that Satan has obtained permission to have all of you to sift as wheat is sifted.
The Lord said, also, Simon, Simon, Satan has obtained permission to sift you as wheat;
32 But I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail, and you, when at last you have come back to your true self, must strengthen your brethren."
but I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not; do you, therefore, when you have recovered yourself, confirm your brethren.
33 "Master," replied Peter, "with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death."
He answered, Master, I am ready to accompany you, both to prison, and to death.
34 "I tell you, Peter," said Jesus, "that the cock will not crow to-day till you have three times denied that you know me."
Jesus replied, I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow to-day, before you have thrice denied that you know me.
35 Then He asked them, "When I sent you out without purse or bag or shoes, was there anything you needed?" "No, nothing," they replied.
Then he said to them, When I sent you without purse, and bag, and shoes, did you want anything?
36 "But now," said He, "let the one who has a purse take it, and he who has a bag must do the same. And let him who has no sword sell his outer garment and buy one.
But now, said he, let him that has a purse, take it, and likewise his bag; and let him who has no sword, sell his mantle, and buy one;
37 For I tell you that those words of Scripture must yet find their fulfilment in me: 'And He was reckoned among the lawless'; for indeed that saying about me has its accomplishment."
for I tell you that this scripture, "He was ranked among malefactors," is now to be accomplished in me: for the things relating to me must be fulfilled.
38 "Master, here are two swords," they exclaimed. "That is enough," He replied.
They said, Master, here are two swords. He replied, It is enough.
39 On going out, He proceeded as usual to the Mount of Olives, and His disciples followed Him.
Then he went out, and repaired, as he was wont, to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him.
40 But when He arrived at the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not come into temptation."
Being arrived there, he said to them, Pray that you may not yield to temptation.
41 But He Himself withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed repeatedly, saying,
Then, being withdrawn from them about a stone's cast; he kneeled down and prayed,
42 "Father, if it be Thy will, take this cup away from me; yet not my will but Thine be done!"
saying, Father, if thou wilt, take this cup away from me; nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done.
43 And there appeared to Him an angel from Heaven, strengthening Him;
And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.
44 while He--an agony of distress having come upon Him--prayed all the more with intense earnestness, and His sweat became like clots of blood dropping on the ground.
And being in an agony of grief, he prayed the more fervently, and his sweat fell like clotted blood to the ground.
45 When He rose from his prayer and came to His disciples, He found them sleeping for sorrow.
Having risen from prayer, and returned to the disciples, he found them sleeping, oppressed with grief;
46 "Why are you sleeping?" He said; "stand up; and pray that you may not come into temptation."
and said to them, Why do you sleep? Arise, and pray, lest the trial overcome you.
47 While He was still speaking there came a crowd with Judas, already mentioned as one of the Twelve, at their head. He went up to Jesus to kiss Him.
Before he had done speaking, he saw a multitude; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, walked before them, and came up to Jesus, to kiss him.
48 "Judas," said Jesus, "are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"
Jesus said to him, Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?
49 Those who were about Him, seeing what was likely to happen, asked Him, "Master, shall we strike with the sword?"
Now, those who were with him, foreseeing what would happen, said to him, Master, shall we strike with the sword?
50 And one of them struck a blow at the High Priest's servant and cut off his right ear.
And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 "Permit me thus far," said Jesus. And He touched the ear and healed it.
Jesus said, Let this suffice; and touching his ear, he healed him.
52 Then Jesus said to the High Priests and Commanders of the Temple and Elders, who had come to arrest Him, "Have you come out as if to fight with a robber, with swords and cudgels?
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and the officers of the temple-guard, and the elders, who were come to apprehend him, Do you come with swords and clubs, as in pursuit of a robber?
53 While day after day I was with you in the Temple, you did not lay hands upon me; but to you belongs this hour--and the power of darkness."
While I was daily with you in the temple, you did not attempt to arrest me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
54 And they arrested Him and led Him away, and brought Him to the High Priest's house, while Peter followed a good way behind.
Then they seized him, and led him away to the high priest's house. And Peter followed at a distance.
55 And when they had lighted a fire in the middle of the court and had seated themselves in a group round it, Peter was sitting among them,
When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the court, and were sitting round it, Peter sat down among them.
56 when a maidservant saw him sitting by the fire, and, looking fixedly at him, she said, "This man also was with him."
And a maid servant, having observed him sitting by the fire, and viewed him attentively, said, This man also was with him.
57 But he denied it, and declared, "Woman, I do not know him."
But he disowned him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
58 Shortly afterwards a man saw him and said, "You, too, are one of them." "No, man, I am not," said Peter.
A little while after, another seeing him, said, You, also, are one of them. Peter answered, Man, I am not.
59 After an interval of about an hour some one else stoutly maintained: "Certainly this fellow also was with him, for in fact he is a Galilaean."
About an hour after, another averred the same thing, saying, This man was surely with him, for he is a Galilean.
60 "Man, I don't know what you mean," replied Peter. No sooner had he spoken than a cock crowed.
Peter answered, Man, I know nothing of this matter. And just as he spoke the word, a cock crew.
61 The Master turned and looked on Peter; and Peter recollected the Master's words, how He had said to him, "This very day, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times."
Then the Lord, turning, looked upon Peter, and Peter called to mind the word which the Lord had said to him, Before the cock crow, you will disown me thrice.
62 And he went out and wept aloud bitterly.
And he went out and wept bitterly.
63 Meanwhile the men who held Jesus in custody repeatedly beat Him in cruel sport,
Meantime, they who had Jesus in charge, mocked and beat him;
64 or blindfolded Him, and then challenged Him. "Prove to us," they said, "that you are a prophet, by telling us who it was that struck you."
and having blindfolded him, struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Divine who it is that smote you.
65 And they said many other insulting things to Him.
And many other abusive things they said against him.
66 As soon as it was day, the whole body of the Elders, both High Priests and Scribes, assembled. Then He was brought into their Sanhedrin, and they asked Him,
As soon as it was day, the national senate, with the chief priests and scribes, were assembled, and having caused him to be brought into their council-chamber, said to him,
67 "Are you the Christ? Tell us." "If I tell you," He replied, "you will certainly not believe;
If you be the Messiah, tell us. He answered, If I tell you, you will not believe:
68 and if I ask you questions, you will certainly not answer.
and if put a question, you will neither answer me, nor acquit me.
69 But from this time forward the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of God's omnipotence."
Hereafter the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of Almighty God.
70 Thereupon they cried out with one voice, "You, then, are the Son of God?" "It is as you say," He answered; "I am He."
They all replied, You are, then, the Son of God? He answered, You say the truth.
71 "What need have we of further evidence?" they said; "for we ourselves have heard it from his own lips."
Then they cried, What further need have we of evidence? We have heard enough ourselves, from his own mouth.
