Luke 22:39-71

39

Jesus went outG1831G4198 as usualG2596G3588G1485 toG1519 theG3588 MountG3735 of OlivesG1636, andG1161 theG3588 disciplesG3101 followedG190 HimG846. 40WhenG1161 He cameG1096 toG1909 theG3588 placeG5117, He toldG2036 themG846, “PrayG4336 that you will not enterG3361G1525 intoG1519 temptationG3986.”

41AndG2532 HeG846 withdrewG645 aboutG5616 a stone’sG3037 throwG1000 beyondG575 themG846, where He knelt downG5087G3588G1119 and prayedG4336, 42“FatherG3962, ifG1487 You are willingG1014, takeG3911 thisG3778 cupG4221 fromG575 MeG1473. YetG4133 notG3361 MyG1473 willG2307, butG235 YoursG4674 be doneG1096.”

43ThenG1161 an angelG32 fromG575 heavenG3772 appearedG3708 to HimG846 and strengthenedG1765 HimG846. 44AndG2532 inG1722 His anguishG74, He prayedG4336 more earnestlyG1617, andG2532 HisG846 sweatG2402 becameG1096 likeG5616 dropsG2361 of bloodG129 fallingG2597 toG1909 theG3588 groundG1093.1

45WhenG2532 Jesus roseG450 fromG575 prayerG4335 and returnedG2064 toG4314 theG3588 disciplesG3101, He foundG2147 themG846 asleepG2837, exhausted fromG575 sorrowG3077. 46“WhyG5101 are you sleepingG2518?” He askedG2036. “Get upG450 and prayG4336 so thatG2443 you will not enterG3361G1525 intoG1519 temptationG3986.”

47WhileG2089 HeG846 was still speakingG2980, a crowdG3793 arrivedG2400, led byG4281G846 theG3588 man calledG3004 JudasG2455, oneG1520 of theG3588 TwelveG1427. He approachedG1448 JesusG2424 to kissG5368 HimG846. 48ButG1161 JesusG2424 askedG2036 himG846, “JudasG2455, are you betrayingG3860 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 with a kissG5370?”

49

ThoseG3588 aroundG4012 Jesus sawG3708 whatG3588 was about to happenG1510 and saidG2036, “LordG2962, should we strikeG1487G3960 withG1722 our swordsG3162?” 50AndG2532 oneG5100G1520 ofG1537 themG846 struckG3960 theG3588 servantG1401 of theG3588 high priestG749, cutting offG851 hisG846 rightG1188 earG3775.

51ButG1161 JesusG2424 answeredG611G2036, “No moreG1439G2193 of thisG3778!” AndG2532 He touchedG680 theG3588 man’s earG5621 and healedG2390 himG846.

52ThenG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 toG4314 the chief priestsG749, temple officersG4755G3588G2411, andG2532 eldersG4245 whoG3588 had comeG3854 forG1909 HimG846, “Have you come outG1831 withG3326 swordsG3162 andG2532 clubsG3586 asG5613 you would againstG1909 an outlawG3027? 53EveryG2596 dayG2250 IG1473 wasG1510 withG3326 youG4771 inG1722 theG3588 templeG2411 courts,2 and you did not layG3756G1614 aG3588 handG5495 onG1909 MeG1473. ButG235 thisG3778 hourG5610 belongsG1510 to youG4771 andG2532 to theG3588 powerG1849 of darknessG4655.”

54ThenG1161 they seizedG4815 Jesus, led Him awayG71, andG2532 tookG1521 Him intoG1519 theG3588 houseG3614 of theG3588 high priestG749. AndG1161 PeterG4074 followedG190 at a distanceG3113.

55When those present had kindledG681 a fireG4442 inG1722 the middleG3319 of theG3588 courtyardG833 andG2532 sat down togetherG4776, PeterG4074 sat downG2521 amongG3319 themG846. 56AG5100 servant girlG3814 sawG3708 himG846 seatedG2521 inG4314 theG3588 firelightG5457 andG2532 looked intently atG816 himG846. “ThisG3778 man alsoG2532 wasG1510 withG4862 HimG846,” she saidG2036.

57ButG1161 Peter deniedG720 it. “WomanG1135, I do not knowG3756G1492 HimG846,” he saidG3004.

58

A short timeG1024 laterG3326, someone elseG2087 sawG3708 himG846 and saidG5346, “YouG4771 alsoG2532 areG1510 one ofG1537 themG846.”

ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG5346, “ManG444, I amG1510 notG3756.”

59

AboutG5616 anG1520 hourG5610 laterG1339, anotherG5100G243 man insistedG1340, “CertainlyG1909G225 thisG3778 man wasG1510 withG3326 HimG846, forG1063 he too isG1510G2532 a GalileanG1057.”

60“ManG444, I do not knowG3756G1492 whatG3739 you are talking aboutG3004,” PeterG4074 repliedG2036.

AndG2532 immediatelyG3916, whileG2089 heG846 was still speakingG2980, the roosterG220 crowedG5455. 61AndG2532 theG3588 LordG2962 turnedG4762 and looked atG1689 PeterG4074.

ThenG2532 PeterG4074 rememberedG5279 theG3588 wordG3056 thatG5613 theG3588 LordG2962 had spokenG2036 to himG846: “BeforeG4250 the roosterG220 crowsG5455 todayG4594, you will denyG533 MeG1473 three timesG5151.” 62AndG2532 he wentG1831 outsideG1854 and weptG2799 bitterlyG4090.

63

TheG3588 menG435 whoG3588 were holdingG4912 Jesus began to mockG1702 HimG846 and beatG1194 Him. 64TheyG2532 blindfoldedG4028 HimG8463 and kept demandingG1905G3004, “ProphesyG4395! WhoG5101 hitG1510G3588G3817 YouG4771?” 65AndG2532 they saidG2036 many otherG4183 blasphemousG987 thingsG2087 againstG1519 HimG846.

66At daybreakG2532G5613G1096G2250 theG3588 council of the eldersG4244 of theG3588 peopleG2992, bothG5037 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 scribesG1122, met togetherG4863. They ledG520 JesusG846 intoG1519 theirG846 SanhedrinG48924 and saidG3004, 67“IfG1487 YouG4771 areG1510 theG3588 ChristG5547, tellG2036 usG1473.”

Jesus answeredG2036G846, “IfG1437 I tellG2036 youG4771, you will not believeG3756G3361G4100. 68AndG1161 ifG1437 I ask you a questionG2065, you will not answerG3756G3361G611. 69ButG1161 fromG575 now onG3568 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 will beG1510 seatedG2521 atG1537 the right handG1188 of theG3588 powerG1411 of GodG2316.”5

70SoG1161 they all askedG3956G2036, “AreG1510 YouG4771 thenG3767 theG3588 SonG5207 of GodG2316?”

He repliedG5346, “YouG4771 sayG3004 thatG3754 IG1473 amG1510.”

71“WhyG5101 do we needG2192G5532 any moreG2089 testimonyG3141?” they declaredG2036. “We have heardG191 it forG1063 ourselvesG846 fromG575 His ownG846 lipsG4750.”
