Luke — Chapter 22

1Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.

2And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

3Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

4And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.

5And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

6And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

7Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.

8And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.

9And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

10And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.

11And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

12And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

13And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

14And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

15And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

16For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

17And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

18For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

19And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

20Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

21But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

22And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

23And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

24And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

25And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

26But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

27For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

28Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

29And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

30That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

32But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

33And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.

34And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

35And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

36Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

37For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

38And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

39And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.

40And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

41And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,

42Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

43And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

44And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

45And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

46And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

47And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.

48But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

49When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

50And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

51And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

52Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?

53When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

54Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest’s house. And Peter followed afar off.

55And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.

56But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.

57And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

58And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

59And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.

60And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

61And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

62And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

63And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.

64And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?

65And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.

66And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,

67Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:

68And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.

69Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.

70Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.

71And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.

1Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.

2And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death; for they feared the people.

3And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

4And he went away, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him unto them.

5And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

6And he consented, and sought opportunity to deliver him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

7And the day of unleavened bread came, on which the passover must be sacrificed.

8And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may eat.

9And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we make ready?

10And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house whereinto he goeth.

11And ye shall say unto the master of the house, The Teacher saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

12And he will show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

13And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

14And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the apostles with him.

15And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

16for I say unto you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

17And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

18for I say unto you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

19And 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.

20And 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.

21But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

22For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been determined: but woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed!

23And they began to question among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

24And there arose also a contention among them, which of them was accounted to be greatest.

25And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors.

26But ye [shall] not [be] so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

27For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth.

28But ye are they that have continued with me in my temptations;

29and I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me,

30that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:

32but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not; and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren.

33And he said unto him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.

34And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, until thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

35And he said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said, Nothing.

36And he said unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet; and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

37For I say unto you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned with transgressors: for that which concerneth me hath fulfilment.

38And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

39And he came out, and went, as his custom was, unto the mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed him.

40And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

41And he was parted from them about a stone`s cast; and he kneeled down and prayed,

42saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

43And there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

44And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

45And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,

46and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.

47While he yet spake, behold, a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.

48But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

49And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

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

51But Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye [them] thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

52And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, that were come against him, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves?

53When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

54And they seized him, and led him [away], and brought him into the high priest`s house. But Peter followed afar off.

55And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them.

56And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light [of the fire], and looking stedfastly upon him, said, This man also was with him.

57But he denied, saying, Woman, I know him not.

58And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art [one] of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.

59And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilaean.

60But Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

61And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said unto him, Before the cock crow this day thou shalt deny me thrice.

62And he went out, and wept bitterly.

63And the men that held [Jesus] mocked him, and beat him.

64And they blindfolded him, and asked him, saying, Prophesy: who is he that struck thee?

65And many other things spake they against him, reviling him.

66And 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,

67If thou art the Christ, tell us. But he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:

68and if I ask [you], ye will not answer.

69But from henceforth shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power of God.

70And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.

71And they said, What further need have we of witness? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.

1Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.

2The chief priests and the experts in the law were trying to find some way to execute Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.

3Then Satan entered Judas, the one called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve.

4He went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers of the temple guard how he might betray Jesus, handing him over to them.

5They were delighted and arranged to give him money.

6So Judas agreed and began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus when no crowd was present.

7Then the day for the feast of Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

8Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us to eat.”

9They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”

10He said to them, “Listen, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters,

11and tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’

12Then he will show you a large furnished room upstairs. Make preparations there.”

13So they went and found things just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

14Now when the hour came, Jesus took his place at the table and the apostles joined him.

15And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

16For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.

18For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

19Then he took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

20And in the same way he took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.

21“But look, the hand of the one who betrays me is with me on the table.

22For the Son of Man is to go just as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!”

23So they began to question one another as to which of them it could possibly be who would do this.

24A dispute also started among them over which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.

25So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’

26Not so with you; instead the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the one who serves.

27For who is greater, the one who is seated at the table, or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is seated at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

28“You are the ones who have remained with me in my trials.

29Thus I grant to you a kingdom, just as my Father granted to me,

30that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel.

31“Simon, Simon, pay attention! Satan has demanded to have you all, to sift you like wheat,

32but I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. When you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

33But Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

34Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know me.”

35Then Jesus said to them, “When I sent you out with no money bag, or traveler’s bag, or sandals, you didn’t lack anything, did you?” They replied, “Nothing.”

36He said to them, “But now, the one who has a money bag must take it, and likewise a traveler’s bag too. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one.

37For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, ‘And he was counted with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me is being fulfilled.”

38So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” Then he told them, “It is enough.”

39Then Jesus went out and made his way, as he customarily did, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.

40When he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.”

41He went away from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed,

42“Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Yet not my will but yours be done.” [

43Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.

44And in his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.]

45When he got up from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, exhausted from grief.

46So he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you will not fall into temptation!”

47While he was still speaking, suddenly a crowd appeared, and the man named Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He walked up to Jesus to kiss him.

48But Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said, “Lord, should we use our swords?”

50Then one of them struck the high priest’s slave, cutting off his right ear.

51But Jesus said, “Enough of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.

52Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders who had come out to get him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs like you would against an outlaw?

53Day after day when I was with you in the temple courts, you did not arrest me. But this is your hour, and that of the power of darkness!”

54Then they arrested Jesus, led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter was following at a distance.

55When they had made a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

56Then a slave girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight, stared at him and said, “This man was with him too!”

57But Peter denied it: “Woman, I don’t know him!”

58Then a little later someone else saw him and said, “You are one of them too.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”

59And after about an hour still another insisted, “Certainly this man was with him because he too is a Galilean.”

60But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” At that moment, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

61Then the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before a rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.”

62And he went outside and wept bitterly.

63Now the men who were holding Jesus under guard began to mock him and beat him.

64They blindfolded him and asked him repeatedly, “Prophesy! Who hit you?”

65They also said many other things against him, reviling him.

66When day came, the council of the elders of the people gathered together, both the chief priests and the experts in the law. Then they led Jesus away to their council

67and said, “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe,

68and if I ask you, you will not answer.

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

70So they all said, “Are you the Son of God, then?” He answered them, “You say that I am.”

71Then they said, “Why do we need further testimony? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!”

1Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.

2The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.

3Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve.

4He went away, and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.

5They were glad, and agreed to give him money.

6He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.

7The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed.

8Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”

9They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”

10He 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.

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

12He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”

13They went, found things as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

14When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.

15He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,

16for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in God’s Kingdom.”

17He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this, and share it among yourselves,

18for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until God’s Kingdom comes.”

19He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”

20Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

21But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.

22The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”

23They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.

24There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.

25He said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’

26But 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.

27For 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 among you as one who serves.

28But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.

29I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,

30that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

31The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might sift you as wheat,

32but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”

33He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

34He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times.”

35He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, and wallet, and shoes, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”

36Then 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.

37For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ For that which concerns me has an end.”

38They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”

39He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.

40When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”

41He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,

42saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

43An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

44Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

45When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief,

46and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

47While 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.

48But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”

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

51But Jesus answered, “Let me at least do this”—and he touched his ear, and healed him.

52Jesus 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?

53When 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.”

54They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance.

55When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.

56A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with him.”

57He denied Jesus, saying, “Woman, I don’t know him.”

58After a little while someone else saw him, and said, “You also are one of them!” But Peter answered, “Man, I am not!”

59After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!”

60But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

61The 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.”

62He went out, and wept bitterly.

63The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.

64Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”

65They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.

66As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,
