The Good News According to Luke, Chapter 22
{22:1} Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the
Passover, drew near. {22:2} The chief priests and the scribes sought
how they might put him to death, for they feared the people. {22:3}
Satan entered into Judah, who was surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered
with the twelve. {22:4} He went away, and talked with the chief
priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them. {22:5}
They were glad, and agreed to give him money. {22:6} He consented, and
sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the
multitude. {22:7} The day of unleavened bread came, on which the
Passover must be sacrificed. {22:8} He sent Peter and Yochanan,
saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat."
{22:9} They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare?"
{22:10} 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. {22:11} Tell the master of the house, 'The
Rabbi says to you, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the
Passover with my disciples?"' {22:12} He will show you a large,
furnished upper room. Make preparations there."
{22:13} They went, found things as he had told them, and they
prepared the Passover. {22:14} When the hour had come, he sat down
with the twelve emissaries. {22:15} He said to them, "I have earnestly
desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer, {22:16} for I
tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is
fulfilled in the Kingdom of God." {22:17} He received a cup, and when
he had given thanks, he said, "Take this, and share it among
yourselves, {22:18} for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from
the fruit of the vine, until the Kingdom of God comes."
{22:19} 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." {22:20} Likewise, he took the cup after supper,
saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out
for you. {22:21} But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me
on the table. {22:22} The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been
determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!"
{22:23} They began to question among themselves, which of them it
was who would do this thing. {22:24} There arose also a contention
among them, which of them was considered to be greatest. {22:25} He
said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those
who have authority over them are called 'benefactors.' {22:26} 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. {22:27} 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. {22:28} But you are those who have continued with me in my
trials. {22:29} I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred
on me, {22:30} that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom.
You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
{22:31} The Lord said, "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have
you, that he might sift you as wheat, {22:32} but I prayed for you,
that your faith wouldn't fail. You, when once you have turned again,
establish your [1>]brothers[<1]."
{22:33} He said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to
prison and to death!"
{22:34} He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means
crow today until you deny that you know me three times."
{22:35} He said to them, "When I sent you out without purse, and
wallet, and shoes, did you lack anything?"
They said, "Nothing."
{22:36} 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. {22:37} For I tell you that this which is
written must still be fulfilled in me: 'He was counted with
transgressors.'[2] For that which concerns me has an end."
{22:38} They said, "Lord, behold, here are two swords."
He said to them, "That is enough."
{22:39} He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of
Olives. His disciples also followed him. {22:40} When he was at the
place, he said to them, "Pray that you don't enter into temptation."
{22:41} He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and he
knelt down and prayed, {22:42} saying, "Father, if you are willing,
remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be
done."
{22:43} An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
{22:44} Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like
great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
{22:45} When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples,
and found them sleeping because of grief, {22:46} and said to them,
"Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into
temptation."
{22:47} While he was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who
was called Judah, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to
Yeshua to kiss him. {22:48} But Yeshua said to him, "Judah, do you
betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"
{22:49} When those who were around him saw what was about to happen,
they said to him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?" {22:50} A
certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off
his right ear.
{22:51} But Yeshua answered, "Let me at least do this"--and he
touched his ear, and healed him. {22:52} Yeshua 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? {22:53}
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."
{22:54} They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the
high priest's house. But Peter followed from a distance. {22:55} When
they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat
down together, Peter sat among them. {22:56} A certain servant girl
saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said,
"This man also was with him."
{22:57} He denied Yeshua, saying, "Woman, I don't know him."
{22:58} After a little while someone else saw him, and said, "You
also are one of them!"
But Peter answered, "Man, I am not!"
{22:59} After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed,
saying, "Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!"
{22:60} But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you are talking
about!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
{22:61} 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." {22:62} He went out, and wept bitterly.
{22:63} The men who held Yeshua mocked him and beat him. {22:64}
Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him,
"Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?" {22:65} They spoke many
other things against him, insulting him.
{22:66} 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, {22:67} "If you are the
Messiah, tell us."
But he said to them, "If I tell you, you won't believe, {22:68} and
if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go. {22:69} From now
on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of
God."
{22:70} They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?"
He said to them, "You say it, because I am."
{22:71} They said, "Why do we need any more witness? For we
ourselves have heard from his own mouth!"
