Luke 22

¹And the Feast of the Unleavened, called the Passover, was drawing near.

²And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might put Him to death, for they were afraid of the people.

³And Satan entered into Judas, the one being called Iscariot, being of the number of the Twelve.

⁴And having gone away, he discussed with the chief priests and captains how he might betray Him to them.

⁵And they rejoiced and agreed to give him money.

⁶And he promised, and began seeking opportunity to betray Him to them apart from a crowd.

⁷And the day of the Unleavened came, on which it was necessary for the Passover to be sacrificed.

⁸And He sent Peter and John, having said, “Having gone, prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”

⁹And they said to Him, “Where do You want that we should prepare?”

¹⁰And He said to them, “Behold, of you having entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house into which he enters,

¹¹and you will say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

¹²And he will show you a large furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”

¹³And having gone, they found it as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁴And when the hour was come, He reclined, and the apostles with Him.

¹⁵And He said to them, “With desire I desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

¹⁶For I say to you that no longer will I eat thereof until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

¹⁷And having received a cup, having given thanks, He said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.

¹⁸For I say to you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now until the kingdom of God shall come.”

¹⁹And having taken the bread, having 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,”

²⁰and the cup likewise, after the supping, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is being poured out for you.

²¹But, behold, the hand of him betraying Me is with Me on the table.

²²For indeed, the Son of Man goes according to that having been determined. But woe to that man by whom He is betrayed.”

²³And they began to question among themselves who then it might be of them who is about to do this.

²⁴And there was also a dispute among them as to which of them is thought to be the greatest.

²⁵And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles rule over them, and those exercising authority over them are called benefactors.

²⁶But you shall not be thus. Rather, the greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and the one leading as the one serving.

²⁷For who is greater, the one reclining or the one serving? Is it not the one reclining? But I am in your midst as the One serving.

²⁸Now you are those having remained with Me in My trials.

²⁹And I appoint to you a kingdom, as My Father appointed to Me,

³⁰so that you may eat and may drink at My table in My kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked for all of you to sift like wheat.

³²But I begged for you, that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

³³And he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death.”

³⁴But He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you shall deny three times knowing Me.”

³⁵And He said to them, “When I sent you without purse and bag and sandals, did you lack anything?” And they said, “Nothing.”

³⁶And He said to them, “But now, the one having a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag; and the one having no sword, let him sell his cloak and buy one.

³⁷For I say to you that this which has been written, it is necessary to be accomplished in Me: ‘And He was reckoned with the lawless.’ For also the things concerning Me have an end.”

³⁸And they said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.”

³⁹And having gone out, He went according to the custom to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed Him.

⁴⁰And having come to the place, He said to them, “Pray not to enter into temptation.”

⁴¹And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and having fallen on the knees, He was praying,

⁴²saying, “Father, if You are willing, take away this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours, be done.”

⁴³And an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.

⁴⁴And having been in agony, He was praying more earnestly. And His sweat became like large drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

⁴⁵And having risen up from the prayer, having come to the disciples, He found them sleeping from the grief.

⁴⁶And He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Having risen up, pray that you might not enter into temptation.”

⁴⁷In His still speaking, behold, a crowd, and he who is called Judas, one of the Twelve, was going before them, and he drew near to Jesus to kiss Him.

⁴⁸And Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

⁴⁹And those around Him, having seen what would be, said, “Lord, will we strike with the sword?”

⁵⁰And a certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

⁵¹But Jesus, answering, said, “Permit only as far as” this! And having touched the ear, He healed him.

⁵²And Jesus said to those having come out against Him, the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as against a robber?

⁵³Every day of My being with you in the temple, you did not stretch out the hands against Me; but this is your hour, and that of the power of the darkness.”

⁵⁴And having seized Him, they led Him away and led Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter was following afar off.

⁵⁵And on their having kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and having sat down together, Peter was sitting among them.

⁵⁶And a certain servant girl, having seen him sitting by the light and having looked intently on him, said, “This one also was with Him.”

⁵⁷But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”

⁵⁸And after a little, having seen him, another was saying, “You also are of them.” But Peter was saying, “Man, I am not.”

⁵⁹And about one hour having elapsed, a certain other strongly affirmed it, saying, “Of a truth, this one also was with Him; for he is also a Galilean.”

⁶⁰But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you say.” And immediately in his still speaking, a rooster crowed.

⁶¹And having turned, the Lord looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”

⁶²And having gone forth outside, he wept bitterly.

⁶³And the men who are holding Him began mocking Him, beating Him.

⁶⁴And having blindfolded Him, they were questioning Him, saying, “Prophesy, who is the one having struck You?”

⁶⁵And they were saying many other things to Him, blaspheming.

⁶⁶And when it was day, the elderhood of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him into their Council, saying,

⁶⁷“If You are the Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I should tell you, you would not believe,

⁶⁸and if I should ask you, you would not answer.

⁶⁹But from now on the Son of Man will be sitting at the right hand of the power of God.”

⁷⁰And they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?” And He was saying to them, “You say that I am.”

⁷¹And they said, “What need do we have of any more testimony? For we ourselves heard it from His mouth.”
