Luke Chapter 22

1Now the festival of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching, 2and the senior priests and the scribes were looking for a way to eliminate him, for they were afraid of the people. 3Meanwhile Satan entered into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was one of the twelve in number. 4And he went away and spoke with the senior priests and chief magistrates on how he could deliver him to them, 5at which they were delighted, and they agreed to give him money. 6So he fully complied and looked for an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of a crowd. 7Then the day of the unleavened bread came, on which it was necessary for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed. 8And he sent Peter and John off, and he said, “Go and prepare the Passover lamb for us so that we can eat it.” 9Then they said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare it?” 10He then said to them, “As you go into the city, you will see that a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house where he goes in. 11And say to the master of the house, ‘The teacher asks you, «Where is the lodging where I can eat the Passover lamb with my disciples?» ’ 12And that man will show you a large upper room ready set up. Prepare it there.” 13Then they went off and found it as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover lamb. 14And when the hour had come, he reclined at table, as did the twelve apostles with him. 15And he said to them, “I have really longed to eat this Passover meal with you before my suffering. 16For I say to you, I will no longer partake of it at all until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” 17Then he received the cup, and he gave thanks and said, “Take this and share it among yourselves. 18For I say to you, I will not be drinking any of the produce of the vine at all until the kingdom of God comes.” 19And he took bread and gave thanks and broke it and gave some to them, and he said, “This is my body which is being given on behalf of you; do this as a memorial to me.” 20Then similarly, he took the cup after dining and said, “This cup is the new covenant by my blood, which is shed for you. 21But mark this, the hand of him with me who will betray me is on the table. 22So the son of man proceeds according to what has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed.” 23Then they began to inquire among themselves as to which of them was the one about to do this. 24Moreover a rivalry arose among them as to which of them was considered the greatest. 25So he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles have dominion over them, and those who have authority over them are called benefactors. 26But don't you be like that; rather, let the greatest among you become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant. 27For who is greater, he who reclines at table, or he who serves? Surely he who reclines? Yet I am in your midst as the servant. 28But you are the ones who have remained with me throughout in my trials. 29And I assign a kingdom to you in accordance with how my father has assigned it to me, 30so that you may eat and drink at my table, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” 31And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon, see how Satan has made a claim on you all, so as to sift you like grain. 32But I have pleaded for you, that your faith might not fail, so once you have come to yourself, strengthen your brothers.” 33Then he said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go both to prison and to death with you.” 34But he said, “I say to you, Peter, the cock definitely will not crow today before you have denied three times that you know me.” 35Furthermore, he said to them, “When I sent you out without wallet or purse or footwear, did you lack anything?” They then said, “No, nothing.” 36However, he said to them, “But now, he who has a wallet must take it, and likewise also a purse. And he who does not have one must sell his cloak and buy a sword. 37For I say to you that this scripture must still be fulfilled in me: the passage, ‘And he was reckoned among the lawless.’ And indeed, the things concerning me are coming to completion.” 38Then they said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.” But he said to them, “It is enough.” 39And he went out, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples also followed him. 40When he arrived at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you do not enter into temptation.” 41Then he withdrew about a stone's throw from them, and he knelt down and prayed. 42And he said, “Father, if you are willing to remove this cup from me ... – but not my will, but yours be done.” 43Then an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him, 44but being in agony, he prayed all the more intensely. Furthermore his sweat had become like clots of blood falling to the ground. 45Then he arose from prayer and went to the disciples and found them lying asleep from sorrow. 46So he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you do not enter into temptation.” 47Now while he was still speaking, a crowd happened to come, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was going in front of them, and he approached Jesus to kiss him. 48But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the son of man with a kiss?” 49Then when those around him had seen what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, should we strike them with the sword?” 50Then a certain one of them struck the high priest's servant and took off his right ear. 51But Jesus replied and said, “Leave it at that.” Then he touched his ear and healed him. 52Then Jesus said to the senior priests and chief magistrates of the temple and elders who had come against him, “Have you come out with swords and sticks as if against a thief? 53When I was with you in the temple each day, you did not stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the authority of darkness.” 54But they seized him and led him away, and they brought him into the house of the high priest. Meanwhile, Peter was following at a distance. 55As they had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and were sitting together, Peter went there and sat in among them. 56But when a certain maidservant saw him sitting in the fire-light, she looked at him intently and said, “This man was also with him.” 57But he denied him and said, “Madam, I don't know him.” 58And after a short time, another person saw him and said, “You are also of their company.” But Peter said, “No, I am not, sir.” 59Then after about one hour had passed, a certain other person made positive assertions and said, “This man was truly with him as well, and indeed he is a Galilean.” 60But Peter said, “Sir, I don't know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still talking, the cock crowed. 61Then the Lord turned round and looked straight at Peter. And Peter remembered the Lord's words when he said to him, “Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.” 62Then Peter went outside and wept bitterly. 63Next, the men who were holding Jesus mocked him, flogging him, 64and they blindfolded him and struck him on the face and then questioned him, saying, “Prophesy, who is it who struck you?” 65And they kept speaking many other blasphemies against him. 66Then when day had come, the council of the elders of the people met, consisting of senior priests and scribes, and they led him up to their Sanhedrin council and said, 67“Are you the Christ? Tell us.” He then said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe it at all. 68And if I question you, you certainly won't answer me or release me. 69From now on, the son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” 70Then they all said, “So you are the son of God, then?” And he said to them, “You say I am.” 71Then they said, “Why do we still need a testimony? For we have heard it ourselves from his mouth.”
