Luke Chapter 22 022:001 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, drew near. 022:002 The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people. 022:003 Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered with the twelve. 022:004 He went away, and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them. 022:005 They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
022:006 He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude. 022:007 The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed. 022:008 He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat." 022:009 They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare?" 022:010 He said to them, "Behold, 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.
022:011 Tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"' 022:012 He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there." 022:013 They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. 022:014 When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.
022:015 He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer, 022:016 for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God." 022:017 He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, "Take this, and share it among yourselves, 022:018 for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until the Kingdom of God comes." 022:019 He took bread, 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 memory of me." 022:020 Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. 022:021 But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table. 022:022 The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!" 022:023 They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.
022:024 There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest. 022:025 He said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called 'benefactors.' 022:026 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. 022:027 For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn't it he who sits at the table?
But I am in the midst of you as one who serves. 022:028 But you are those who have continued with me in my trials. 022:029 I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me, 022:030 that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." 022:031 The Lord said, "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat, 022:032 but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn't fail.
You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers{The word for "brothers" here may be also correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."}." 022:033 He said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!" 022:034 He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times." 022:035 He said to them, "When I sent you out without purse, and wallet, and shoes, did you lack anything?" They said, "Nothing." 022:036 Then he said to them, "But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet.
Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword. 022:037 For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: 'He was counted with the lawless.'{Isaiah 53:12} For that which concerns me has an end." 022:038 They said, "Lord, behold, here are two swords." He said to them, "That is enough." 022:039 He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.
022:040 When he was at the place, he said to them, "Pray that you don't enter into temptation." 022:041 He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed, 022:042 saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done." 022:043 An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him. 022:044 Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
022:045 When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief, 022:046 and said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation." 022:047 While he was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.
022:048 But Jesus said to him, "Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?" 022:049 When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?" 022:050 A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 022:051 But Jesus answered, "Let me at least do this"--and he touched his ear, and healed him.
022:052 Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs? 022:053 When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn't stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness." 022:054 They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from a distance.
022:055 When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.
022:056 A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with him." 022:057 He denied Jesus, saying, "Woman, I don't know him." 022:058 After a little while someone else saw him, and said, "You also are one of them!" But Peter answered, "Man, I am not!" 022:059 After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!" 022:060 But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you are talking about!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
022:061 The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord's word, how he said to him, "Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times." 022:062 He went out, and wept bitterly. 022:063 The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him. 022:064 Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, "Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?" 022:065 They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.
022:066 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, 022:067 "If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you won't believe, 022:068 and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.
022:069 From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God." 022:070 They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?" He said to them, "You say it, because I am." 022:071 They said, "Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!"
