Luke 22
1 Meanwhile the Festival of the Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,
Now the feast of Matzah, which is called the Passover, drew near.
2 and the High Priests and the Scribes were contriving how to destroy Him. But they feared the people.
The chief cohanim 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.
Satan entered into Judah, who was called the Iskriot, who was numbered with the twelve.
4 He went and conferred with the High Priests and Commanders as to how he should deliver Him up to them.
He went away, and talked with the chief cohanim and captains about how he might deliver him to them.
5 This gave them great pleasure, and they agreed to pay him.
They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
6 He accepted their offer, and then looked out for an opportunity to betray Him when the people were not there.
He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the crowd.
7 When the day of the Unleavened Bread came--the day for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed--
The day of matzah came, on which the Passover lamb 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."
He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat."
9 "Where shall we prepare it?" they asked.
They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare?"
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 said to them, "Look, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.
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?'
Tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my talmidim?"'
12 "And he will show you a large furnished room upstairs. There make your preparations."
He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there."
13 So they went and found all as He had told them; and they got the Passover ready.
They went, found things as he had told them, and they 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 had come, he reclined at the table, and the emissaries joined him.
15 He said to them, "Earnestly have I longed 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 tell you that I certainly shall not eat one again till its full meaning has been brought out in the Kingdom of God."
for I say to you, I will not eat of it again until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God."
17 Then, having received the cup and given thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves;
He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, "Take this, and share it among yourselves,
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 tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the Kingdom of God comes."
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."
He took matzah, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance 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.
Likewise, he took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
21 Yet the hand of him who is betraying me is at the table with me.
But look, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
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 indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through 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.
They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.
24 There arose also a dispute among them which of them should be regarded as greatest.
There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be 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.
He said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called '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 not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one 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 who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? But I am in the midst of you as one who serves.
28 You however have remained with me amid my trials;
But you are those 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--
I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,
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.
that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will 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.
And the Lord said, "Shim'on, Shim'on, look, Satan has demanded to have you all, to sift you like 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 prayed for you, that your faith would not fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers."
33 "Master," replied Peter, "with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death."
He said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with 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."
He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times."
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.
He said to them, "When I sent you out without money bag, and pack, and shoes, did you lack anything?" They said, "Nothing."
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.
Then he said to them, "But now, whoever has a money bag must take it, and likewise a pack. Whoever has none, must sell his cloak, and buy a sword.
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 which is written must still be fulfilled in me: 'And he was numbered with transgressors.' For that which concerns me has an end."
38 "Master, here are two swords," they exclaimed. "That is enough," He replied.
They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." He said to them, "That is enough."
39 On going out, He proceeded as usual to the Mount of Olives, and His disciples followed Him.
He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His talmidim also followed him.
40 But when He arrived at the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not come into temptation."
When he was at the place, he said to them, "Pray that you do not enter into temptation."
41 But He Himself withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed repeatedly, saying,
He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt 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 you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."
43 And there appeared to Him an angel from Heaven, strengthening Him;
And an angel from heaven appeared to him, 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.
Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
45 When He rose from his prayer and came to His disciples, He found them sleeping for sorrow.
When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the talmidim, and found them sleeping because of 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? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."
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.
While he was still speaking, look, a crowd came, and he who was called Judah, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Yeshua to kiss him.
48 "Judas," said Jesus, "are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"
But Yeshua said to him, "Judah, 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?"
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 struck a blow at the High Priest's servant and cut off his right ear.
A certain one of them struck the servant of the cohen hagadol, and cut off his right ear.
51 "Permit me thus far," said Jesus. And He touched the ear and healed it.
But Yeshua answered and said, "No more of this." Then he touched his ear and 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?
Yeshua said to the chief cohanim, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
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."
When I was with you in the temple daily, you did not stretch out your hands against 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.
They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the cohen hagadol's house. But Peter followed from 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 courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter sat 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."
A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with him."
57 But he denied it, and declared, "Woman, I do not know him."
But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know him."
58 Shortly afterwards a man saw him and said, "You, too, are one of them." "No, man, I am not," said Peter.
After a little while someone else saw him, and said, "You also are one of them." But 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."
After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Truly this man also was 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.
But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
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."
The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord's word, how he said to him, "Before the rooster crows today you will deny me three times."
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,
The men who held him began mocking and beating 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, they were striking his face and kept asking him, saying, "Prophesy, who is the one who struck you?"
65 And they said many other insulting things to Him.
They spoke many other things against him, insulting 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 council of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief cohanim and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,
67 "Are you the Christ? Tell us." "If I tell you," He replied, "you will certainly not believe;
"If you are the Messiah, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you won't believe,
68 and if I ask you questions, you will certainly not answer.
and if I ask, you will not answer me, or let me go.
69 But from this time forward the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of God's omnipotence."
From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of 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 said, "Are you then the Son of God?" He said to them, "You say that I am."
71 "What need have we of further evidence?" they said; "for we ourselves have heard it from his own lips."
They said, "Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth."
