The Good News According to Luke, Chapter 22
{22:1} Now the feast of [1>]matzah[<1], which is called the Pesach,
drew near. {22:2} The chief [2>]Kohanim[<2] and the [3>]Sofrim[<3]
sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.
{22:3} Hasatan entered into Yehudah, who was surnamed Ish-K'riot, who
was numbered with the twelve. {22:4} He went away, and talked with the
chief [4>]Kohanim[<4] 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 [5>]matzah[<5] came, on
which the Pesach must be sacrificed. {22:8} He sent Rock and Yochanan,
saying, "Go and prepare the Pesach 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
Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the
Pesach with my [6>]talmidim[<6]?"' {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 Pesach. {22:14} When the hour had come, he sat down with
the twelve apostles. {22:15} He said to them, "I have earnestly
desired to eat this Pesach 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 Goyim 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 Yisra'el."
{22:31} The Lord said, "Shim`on, Shim`on, behold, Hasatan 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 brothers."
{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, Rock, 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 the
lawless.' 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 [7>]talmidim[<7] 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
[8>]talmidim[<8], 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 Yehudah, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near
to Yeshua to kiss him. {22:48} But Yeshua said to him, "Yehudah, 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 [9>]Kohen Gadol[<9], 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
[10>]Kohanim[<10], captains of the temple, and Zakenim, 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
[11>]Kohen Gadol[<11]'s house. But Rock followed from a distance.
{22:55} When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard,
and had sat down together, Rock 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 Rock 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 Gelili!"
{22:60} But Rock 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 Rock. Then Rock 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 Zakenim of the
people was gathered together, both chief [12>]Kohanim[<12] and
[13>]Sofrim[<13], 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!"
