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