Luke 22
1
Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
2
And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death; for
they feared the people.
3
And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
4
And he went away, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver
him to them.
5
And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6
And he consented, and sought opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of
the multitude.
7
And the day of unleavened bread came, on which the passover must be sacrificed.
8
And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we
may eat.
9
And they said to him, Where will you that we make ready?
10
And he said to them, Behold, when you are entered into the city, there shall meet
you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house whereinto he goes.
11
And you shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to you, Where is the
guest chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
12
And he will show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
13
And they went, and found as he had said to them: and they made ready the passover.
14
And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the apostles with him.
15
And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before
I suffer:
16
for I say to you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17
And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide
it among yourselves:
18
for I say to you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until
the kingdom of God shall come.
19
And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying,
This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20
And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my
blood, [even] that which is poured out for you.
21
But behold, the hand of him whom betrays me is with me on the table.
22
For the Son of man indeed goes, as it has been determined: but woe to that man through
whom he is betrayed!
23
And they began to question among themselves, which of them it was that should do this
thing.
24
And there arose also a contention among them, which of them was accounted to be greatest.
25
And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that
have authority over them are called Benefactors.
26
But you [shall] not [be] so: but he who is the greater among you, let him become as
the younger; and he who is chief, as he who does serve.
27
For which is greater, he who sits at meat, or he who serves? is not he who sits at
meat? but I am in the midst of you as he who serves.
28
But you are they that have continued with me in my temptations;
29
and I appoint to you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed to me,
30
that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and you shall sit on thrones
judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31
Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:
32
but I made supplication for you, that your faith fail not; and do you, when once you
have turned again, establish your brethren.
33
And he said to him, Lord, with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death.
34
And he said, I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, until you shall
thrice deny that you know me.
35
And he said to them, When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked
you anything? And they said, Nothing.
36
And he said to them, But now, he who has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a
wallet; and he who has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.
37
For I say to you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned
with transgressors: for that which concerns me has fulfillment.
38
And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
39
And he came out, and went, as his custom was, to the mount of Olives; and the disciples
also followed him.
40
And when he was at the place, he said to them, Pray that you enter not into temptation.
41
And he was parted from them about a stone`s cast; and he knelt down and prayed,
42
saying, Father, if you be 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.
44
And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great
drops of blood falling down upon the ground.
45
And when he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping
for sorrow,
46
and said to them, Why sleep you? rise and pray, that you enter not into temptation.
47
While he yet spoke, behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve,
went before them; and he drew near to Jesus to kiss him.
48
But Jesus said to him, Judas, betray you the Son of man with a kiss?
49
And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we
smite with the sword?
50
And a certain one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his
right ear.
51
But Jesus answered and said, Suffer you [them] thus far. And he touched his ear, and
healed him.
52
And Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, that
were come against him, Are you come out, as against a robber, with swords and staffs?
53
When I was daily with you in the temple, you stretched not forth your hands against
me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
54
And they seized him, and led him [away], and brought him into the high priest`s house.
But Peter followed afar off.
55
And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together,
Peter sat in the midst of them.
56
And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light [of the fire], and looking steadfastly
upon him, said, This man also was with him.
57
But he denied, saying, Woman, I know him not.
58
And after a little while another saw him, and said, You also art [one] of them. But
Peter said, Man, I am not.
59
And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth
this man also was with him; for he is a Galilean.
60
But Peter said, Man, I know not what you say. And immediately, while he yet spoke,
the cock crew.
61
And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord,
how that he said to him, Before the cock crow this day you shall deny me thrice.
62
And he went out, and wept bitterly.
63
And the men that held [Jesus] mocked him, and beat him.
64
And they blindfolded him, and asked him, saying, Prophesy: who is he who struck you?
65
And many other things spoke they against him, reviling him.
66
And as soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together,
both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away into their council, saying,
67
If you are the Christ, tell us. But he said to them, If I tell you, you will not believe:
68
and if I ask [you], you will not answer.
69
But from henceforth shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power
of God.
70
And they all said, Art you then the Son of God? And he said to them, You say that
I am.
71
And they said, What further need have we of witness? for we ourselves have heard from
his own mouth.
