Luke 22

¹ Now near drew the festival of unleavened bread, termed the Passover. ² And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they may be assassinating Him, for they feared the people. ³ Yet Satan entered into Judas, called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. ⁴ And, coming away, he confers with the chief priests and officers how he may be giving Him up to them. ⁵ And they rejoiced, and they agreed to give him silver. ⁶ And he acquiesces, and sought an opportunity to give Him up to them minus a throng. ⁷ Now came the day of unleavened bread, in which the passover must be sacrificed. ⁸ And He dispatches Peter and John, saying, "Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may be eating." ⁹ Yet they say to Him, "Where dost Thou want that we should be making ready to eat the passover?" ¹⁰ Now He said to them, "Lo! at your entering into the city a man will meet with you, bearing a jar of water. Follow him into the house which he is entering. ¹¹ And you will be declaring to the householder of the house, saying, 'The Teacher is saying to you, "Where is My caravansary where I may be eating the passover with My disciples?"' ¹² And that man will be showing you a large upper room with places spread." ¹³ Now, coming away, they found it according as He had declared to them. And they make ready the passover. ¹⁴ And when the hour came, He leans back at table, and the twelve apostles with Him. ¹⁵ And He said to them, "With yearning I yearn to be eating this passover with you before My suffering. ¹⁶ For I am saying to you that under no circumstances may I be eating of it till it may be fulfilled in the kingdom of God." ¹⁷ And, receiving the cup, giving thanks, He said, "Take this and divide it among yourselves. ¹⁸ For I am saying to you that under no circumstances may I be drinking, from now on, of the product of the grapevine till the kingdom of God may be coming." ¹⁹ And, taking bread, giving thanks, He breaks it and gives to them, saying, "Take. This is My body, given for your sakes. This do for a recollection of Me." ²⁰ Similarly, the cup also, after the dinner, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for your sakes. ²¹ Moreover, lo! the hand of him who is giving Me up is with Me on the table, ²² seeing that the Son of Mankind is indeed going, according as it has been specified. However, woe to that man through whom He is being given up!" ²³ And they, consequently, begin to discuss among themselves which of them it may be who is about to commit this thing. ²⁴ Now there came to be a rivalry also among themselves as to which of them is seeming to be greatest. ²⁵ Now He said to them, "The kings of the nations are lording it over them, and those exercising authority over them are called benefactors. ²⁶ Yet you are not thus, but let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and he who is leading as he who is serving. ²⁷ For who is greater, the one lying back at table or the one serving? Is it not the one lying back? Yet I am in your midst as the One Who is serving. ²⁸ Now you are those who have continued with Me in My trials. ²⁹ And I am covenanting a covenant with you, according as My Father covenanted a kingdom to Me, ³⁰ that you may be eating and drinking at My table in My kingdom. And you will be seated on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." ³¹ Now the Lord said, "Simon, Simon, lo! Satan claims you men, to sift you as grain. ³² Yet I besought concerning you, that your faith may not be defaulting. And once you turn back, establish your brethren." ³³ Now he said to Him, "Lord, with Thee I am ready to go to jail as well as to death!" ³⁴ Yet He said, "I am saying to you, Peter, under no circumstances will a cock be crowing today till thrice you will be abjuring acquaintance with Me." ³⁵ And He said to them, "When I dispatch you minus purse and beggar's bag and sandals, you did not want anything?" Yet they say, "Nothing." ³⁶ Yet He said to them, "But now, he who has a purse let him pick it up, likewise a beggar's bag also; and he who has none, let him sell his cloak and buy a sword. ³⁷ For I am saying to you that this which is written must be accomplished in Me: And with the lawless is He reckoned. For that also which concerns Me is having its consummation." ³⁸ Now they say, "Lord, lo! here are two swords. Now He said to them, "It is enough." ³⁹ And, coming out, He went, according to His custom, into the mount of Olives. Now the disciples also follow Him. ⁴⁰ Now, coming to be at the place, He said to them, "Be praying not to be entering into trial." ⁴¹ And He is pulled away from them about a stone's throw, and kneeling, He prayed, ⁴² saying, "Father, if it is Thy intention, carry aside this cup from Me. However, not My will, but Thine, be done!" ⁴³ Now a messenger from heaven was seen by Him, strengthening Him. ⁴⁴ And coming to be in a struggle, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became as if clots of blood descending on the earth. ⁴⁵ And, rising from prayer, coming to the disciples, He found them reposing from sorrow. ⁴⁶ And He said to them, "Why are you drowsing? Rise, pray, lest you may be entering into trial." ⁴⁷ At His still speaking, lo! a throng, and he who is termed Judas, one of the twelve, came before them, and he draws near Jesus to kiss Him. ⁴⁸ Now Jesus said to him, "Judas, with a kiss are you giving up the Son of Mankind?" ⁴⁹ Now those about Him, perceiving what will be, say to Him, "Lord, shall we be smiting with a sword? ⁵⁰ And a certain one of them smites the slave of the chief priest and amputates his right ear. ⁵¹ Now answering, Jesus said, "Give leave, till this" - And touching the ear, He heals him. ⁵² Now Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the sanctuary and elders who came along after Him, "As after a robber do you come out with swords and cudgels? ⁵³ At My being daily with you in the sanctuary, you do not stretch out your hands for Me, but this is your hour and the jurisdiction of darkness." ⁵⁴ Now apprehending Him, they led Him; they led Him into the house of the chief priest. ⁵⁵ Now Peter followed afar off. Now at their kindling a fire in the middle of the courtyard and being seated together, Peter sat in their midst. ⁵⁶ Now a certain maid, perceiving him sitting toward the light, and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with him!" ⁵⁷ Yet he denies, saying, "I am not acquainted with Him, woman!" ⁵⁸ And after a bit, a different one, perceiving Him, averred, "You also are of them! Yet Peter averred, "Man, I am not!" ⁵⁹ And after an interval of about one hour some other one stoutly insisted, saying, "Of a truth, this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean also." ⁶⁰ Yet Peter said, "Man, I am not aware what you are saying." And instantly, at his still speaking, a cock crows. ⁶¹ And being turned, the Lord looks at Peter, and Peter is reminded of the declaration of the Lord, as He said to him, "Ere a cock crows today, you will be renouncing Me thrice." ⁶² And coming outside, Peter laments bitterly. ⁶³ And the men who are pressing Jesus, scoffed at Him, lashing Him. ⁶⁴ And putting a covering about Him, they beat His face and inquired of Him, saying "Prophesy! Who is it that hits you?" ⁶⁵ And many different things they said against Him, blaspheming. ⁶⁶ And as it became day, the eldership of the people was gathered, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him away into their Sanhedrin, saying, ⁶⁷ If you are the Christ, tell us. Yet He said to them, "If I should tell you, under no circumstances would you be believing. ⁶⁸ Yet if I should ever be asking also, under no circumstances would you be answering or releasing Me. ⁶⁹ Yet from now on the Son of Mankind shall be sitting at the right hand of the power of God." ⁷⁰ Now they all say, "You, then, are the Son of God?" Yet He averred to them, "You are saying that I am!" ⁷¹ Now they said, "What need have we still of testimony? For we ourselves hear from his mouth!"
