Luke 22

Preparing the Passover

11NowG1161 the FeastG1859 of UnleavenedG106 Bread, which is calledG3004 the 2PassoverG3957, was approachingG1448. 2The chiefG749 priestsG749 and the scribesG1122 3were seekingG2212 howG4459 they might putG337 Him to deathG337; for they were afraidG5399 of the peopleG2992.

34And 5SatanG4567 enteredG1525 into JudasG2455 who was calledG2564 IscariotG2469, 6belongingG1510G1537 to the numberG706 of the twelveG1427. 4And he wentG565 awayG565 and discussedG4814 with the chiefG749 priestsG749 and 7officersG4755 howG4459 he might betrayG3860 Him to them. 5They were gladG5463 and agreedG4934 to giveG1325 him moneyG694. 6SoG2532 he consentedG1843, and began seekingG2212 a goodG2120 opportunityG2120 to betrayG3860 Him to them 8apartG817 from the crowdG3793.

79ThenG1161 cameG2064 the first dayG2250 of UnleavenedG106 Bread on whichG3739 10the PassoverG3957 lamb hadG1163 to be sacrificedG2380. 8And Jesus sentG649 11PeterG4074 and JohnG2491, sayingG3004, “GoG4198 and prepareG2090 the PassoverG3957 for us, soG2443 that we may eatG2068 it.” 9They saidG3004 to Him, “WhereG4226 do You wantG2309 us to prepareG2090 it?” 10And He saidG3004 to them, “WhenG2400 you have enteredG1525 the cityG4172, a manG444 will meetG4876 you carryingG941 a pitcherG2765 of waterG5204; followG190 him into the houseG3614 that he entersG1531. 11And you shall sayG3004 to the ownerG3617 of the houseG3614, ‘The TeacherG1320 saysG3004 to you, “WhereG4226 is the guestG2646 roomG2646 in whichG3699 I may eatG2068 the PassoverG3957 with My disciplesG3101?”’ 12And he will showG1166 you a largeG3173, furnishedG4766 upperG311 roomG311; prepareG2090 it thereG1563.” 13And they leftG565 and foundG2147 everything justG2531 as He had toldG3004 them; and they preparedG2090 the PassoverG3957.

The Lord’s Supper

1412WhenG3753 the hourG5610 had comeG1096, He reclinedG377 at the table, and 13the apostlesG652 with Him. 15And He saidG3004 to them, “I have earnestlyG1939 desiredG1937 to eatG2068 thisG3778 PassoverG3957 with you beforeG4253 I sufferG3958; 16for I sayG3004 to you, I shall neverG3756G3361 againG3765 eatG2068 it 14untilG2193 it is fulfilledG4137 in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.” 1715And when He had takenG1209 a cupG4221 and 16givenG2168 thanksG2168, He saidG3004, “TakeG2983 thisG3778 and shareG1266 it amongG1519 yourselvesG1438; 18for 17I sayG3004 to you, I will not drinkG4095 of the fruitG1079 of the vineG288 from nowG3568 on untilG2193 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 comesG2064.” 19And when He had takenG2983 some breadG740 and 18givenG2168 thanksG2168, He brokeG2806 it and gaveG1325 it to them, sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 is My bodyG4983 which is givenG1325 for you; doG4160 thisG3778 in remembranceG364 of Me.” 20And in the sameG5615 wayG5615 He took the cupG4221 afterG3326 they had eatenG1172, sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 cupG4221 which is 19pouredG1632 out for you is the 20newG2537 covenantG1242 in My bloodG129. 2121But beholdG2400, the handG5495 of the one betrayingG3860 Me is with 22MineG1700 on the tableG5132. 22For indeedG3303, the SonG5207 of ManG444 is goingG4198 23as it hasG2192 been determinedG3724; but woeG3759 to that manG444 by whomG3739 He is betrayedG3860!” 23And they beganG757 to discussG4802 amongG4314 themselvesG1438 whichG5101 one of them it might be who was goingG3195 to doG4238 thisG3778 thingG3778.

Who Is Greatest

24And there aroseG1096 alsoG2532 24a disputeG5379 amongG1722 them as to whichG5101 one of them was regardedG1380 to be greatestG3173. 2525And He saidG3004 to them, “The kingsG935 of the GentilesG1484 lordG2961 it overG2961 them; and thoseG3588 who haveG1850 authorityG1850 overG1850 them are calledG2564 ‘BenefactorsG2110.’ 26But it is not thisG3779 wayG3779 with you, 26but the oneG3739 who is the greatestG3173 amongG1722 you must becomeG1096 likeG5613 27the youngestG3501, and the leaderG2233 likeG5613 the servantG1247. 27For 28whoG5101 is greaterG3173, the one who reclinesG345 at the table orG2228 the one who servesG1247? Is it not the one who reclinesG345 at the table? But 29I amG1510 amongG1722G3319 you as the one who servesG1247.

28“You are thoseG3588 who have stoodG1265 by Me in My 30trialsG3986; 29and justG2531 as My FatherG3962 hasG2192 grantedG1303 Me a 31kingdomG932, I grantG1303 you 30that you may 32eatG2068 and drinkG4095 at My tableG5132 in My 33kingdomG932, and 34you will sitG2521 on thronesG2362 judgingG2919 the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of IsraelG2474.

31“SimonG4613, SimonG4613, beholdG2400, 35SatanG4567 hasG2192 36demandedG1809 permission to 37siftG4617 you likeG5613 wheatG4621; 32but I 38have prayedG1189 for you, that your faithG4102 may not failG1587; and you, whenG4218 onceG4218 you have turnedG1994 againG1994, 39strengthenG4741 your brothersG80.” 3340But he saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, with You I amG1510 readyG2092 to goG4198 bothG2532 to prisonG5438 and to deathG2288!” 34And He saidG3004, “I sayG3004 to you, PeterG4074, the roosterG220 will not crowG5455 todayG4594 untilG2193 you have deniedG533 threeG5151 timesG5151 that you knowG3609 Me.”

35And He saidG3004 to them, “41WhenG3753 I sentG649 you out withoutG817 moneyG905 beltG905 and bagG4082 and sandalsG5266, you did not lackG5302 anythingG5100, did you?” They saidG3004, “No, nothingG3762.” 36And He saidG3004 to them, “But nowG3568, 42whoeverG3588 hasG2192 a moneyG905 beltG905 is to takeG142 it along, likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 a bagG4082, and 43whoeverG3588 hasG2192 noG3361 swordG3162 is to sellG4453 his 44coatG2440 and buyG59 one. 37For I tellG3004 you that thisG3778 which is writtenG1125 mustG1163 be fulfilledG5055 in Me, ‘45And He was numberedG3049 with transgressorsG459’; for 46that which refersG4012 to Me hasG2192 its 47fulfillmentG5056.” 38They saidG3004, “LordG2962, lookG2400, hereG5602 are twoG1417 48swordsG3162.” And He saidG3004 to them, “It is enoughG2425.”

The Garden of Gethsemane

3949And He cameG1831 out and proceededG4198 50as was His customG1485 to 51the MountG3735 of OlivesG1636; and the disciplesG3101 alsoG2532 followedG190 Him. 4052When He arrivedG1096 at the placeG5117, He saidG3004 to them, “53PrayG4336 that you may not enterG1525 into temptationG3986.” 41And He withdrewG645 from them aboutG5616 a stone’sG3037 throwG1000, and He 54kneltG1119G5087 downG5087G1119 and began to prayG4336, 42sayingG3004, “FatherG3962, ifG1487 You are willingG1014, removeG3911 thisG3778 55cupG4221 from Me; 56yetG4133 not My willG2307, but YoursG4674 be doneG1096.” 4357NowG1161 an 58angelG32 from heavenG3772 appearedG3708 to Him, strengtheningG1765 Him. 44And 59beingG1096 in agonyG74 He was prayingG4336 veryG1617 ferventlyG1619; and His sweatG2402 becameG1096 likeG5616 dropsG2361 of bloodG129, fallingG2597 downG2597 upon the groundG1093. 45When He roseG450 from prayerG4335, He cameG2064 to the disciplesG3101 and foundG2147 them sleepingG2837 from sorrowG3077, 46and saidG3004 to them, “WhyG5101 are you sleepingG2518? GetG450 up and 60prayG4336 that you may not enterG1525 into temptationG3986.”

Jesus Betrayed by Judas

4761While He was stillG2089 speakingG2980, beholdG2400, a crowdG3793 came, and the one calledG3004 JudasG2455, oneG1520 of the twelveG1427, was precedingG4281 them; and he approachedG1448 JesusG2424 to kissG5368 Him. 48But JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “JudasG2455, are you betrayingG3860 the SonG5207 of ManG444 with a kissG5370?” 49When thoseG3588 whoG3588 were aroundG4012 Him sawG3708 what was going to happenG1510, they saidG3004, “LordG2962, shall we strikeG3960 with the 62swordG3162?” 50And oneG1520 of them struckG3960 the slaveG1401 of the highG749 priestG749 and cutG851 offG851 his rightG1188 earG3775. 51But JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “63StopG1439! NoG2193 moreG2193 of thisG3778.” And He touchedG681 his earG5621 and healedG2390 him. 52ThenG2532 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to the chiefG749 priestsG749 and 64officersG4755 of the templeG2413 and eldersG4245 who had comeG3854 againstG1909 Him, “Have you comeG1831 out with swordsG3162 and clubsG3586 65as you would againstG1909 a robberG3027? 53While I was with you dailyG2596G2250 in the templeG2413, you did not layG1614 handsG5495 on Me; but 66thisG3778 hourG5610 and the powerG1849 of darknessG4655 are yoursG4771.”

Jesus’ Arrest

5467Having arrestedG4815 Him, they ledG71 Him away and broughtG1521 Him to the houseG3614 of the highG749 priestG749; but 68PeterG4074 was followingG190 at a distanceG3113. 5569After they had kindledG4015 a fireG4442 in the middleG3319 of 70the courtyardG833 and had satG4776 downG4776 togetherG4776, PeterG4074 was sittingG2521 amongG3319 them. 56And a servant-girlG3814, seeingG3708 him as he satG2521 in the firelightG5457 and lookingG816 intentlyG816 at him, saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 was with Him tooG2532.” 57But he deniedG720 it, sayingG3004, “WomanG1135, I do not knowG3609 Him.” 58A littleG1024 laterG3326, 71anotherG2087 sawG3708 him and saidG5346, “You are one of them tooG2532!” But PeterG4074 saidG5346, “ManG444, I amG1510 not!” 59After aboutG5616 an hourG5610 had passedG1339, anotherG243 manG243 began to insistG1340, sayingG3004, “CertainlyG1909G225 thisG3778 manG3778 alsoG2532 was with Him, 72for he is a GalileanG1057 tooG2532.” 60But PeterG4074 saidG3004, “ManG444, I do not knowG3609 whatG3739 you are talkingG3004 about.” ImmediatelyG3916, while he was stillG2089 speakingG2980, a roosterG220 crowedG5455. 6173The LordG2962 turnedG4762 and lookedG1689 at PeterG4074. And PeterG4074 rememberedG5279 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, howG5613 He had toldG3004 him, “74BeforeG4250 a roosterG220 crowsG5455 todayG4594, you will denyG533 Me threeG5151 timesG5151.” 62And he wentG1831 out and weptG2799 bitterlyG4090.

6375Now the menG435 who were holdingG4912 76Jesus in custodyG4912 were mockingG1702 Him and beatingG1194 Him, 64and they blindfoldedG4028 Him and were askingG1905 Him, sayingG3004, “77ProphesyG4395, whoG5101 is the one who hitG3817 You?” 65And they were sayingG3004 manyG4183 otherG2087 thingsG4183 againstG1519 Him, 78blasphemingG987.

Jesus before the Sanhedrin

6679WhenG5613 it was dayG2250, 80the 81CouncilG4244 of eldersG4244 of the peopleG2992 assembledG4863, bothG5037 chiefG749 priestsG749 and scribesG1122, and they ledG520 Him awayG520 to their 82councilG4892 chamber, sayingG3004, 67“83IfG1487 You are the 84ChristG5547, tellG3004 us.” But He saidG3004 to them, “IfG1437 I tellG3004 you, you will not believeG4100; 68and ifG1437 I askG2065 a questionG2065, you will not answerG611. 6985But from nowG3568 on 86the SonG5207 of ManG444 will be seatedG2521 at the rightG1188 handG1188 of the powerG1411 of GodG2316.” 70And they allG3956 saidG3004, “Are You 87the SonG5207 of GodG2316, thenG3767?” And He saidG5346 to them, “8889Yes, I amG1510.” 71ThenG2532 they saidG3004, “WhatG5101 furtherG2089 needG5532 do we haveG2192 of testimonyG3141? For we have heardG191 it ourselvesG846 from His own mouthG4750.”
