Luke 22 — GMV

22 Verse 1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread was drawing near, which is called the Passover, ^{Verse 2} and the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to get rid of Jesus quietly, for they were afraid of the people. ^{Verse 3} Then Satan entered into Judas, the one called Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve. ^{Verse 4} He went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he might deliver Jesus up to them. ^{Verse 5} They were glad and agreed to give him money. ^{Verse 6} So he accepted the offer and began looking for an opportunity to deliver Jesus up to them in the absence of a crowd. ^{Verse 7} Then came the day for the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. ^{Verse 8} Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go make preparations for us to eat the Passover.” ^{Verse 9} They said to him, “Where do yoʋ want us to prepare it?” ^{Verse 10} He said to them, “Behold, when you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him into the house he enters ^{Verse 11} and say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher asks yoʋ, “Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?” ’ ^{Verse 12} He will then show you a large upper room that is furnished; prepare it there.” ^{Verse 13} So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover. ^{Verse 14} When the hour came, Jesus reclined at the table, and the twelve apostles were with him. ^{Verse 15} He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. ^{Verse 16} For I tell you that I will certainly not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” ^{Verse 17} Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves. ^{Verse 18} For I tell you, I will certainly not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” ^{Verse 19} Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” ^{Verse 20} In the same way, he also took the cup after they had eaten supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. ^{Verse 21} But behold, the hand of the one who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. ^{Verse 22} The Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed.” ^{Verse 23} Then they began to discuss with one another which one of them could ever do such a thing. ^{Verse 24} A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greater. ^{Verse 25} So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who have authority over them are called benefactors. ^{Verse 26} But it must not be so with you; rather the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader must become like one who serves. ^{Verse 27} For who is greater? The one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. ^{Verse 28} “You have stayed with me in my trials. ^{Verse 29} And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as my Father bestowed one on me, ^{Verse 30} so that you may eat and drink at my table. And you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” ^{Verse 31} Then the Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, so that he might sift you like wheat. ^{Verse 32} But I have prayed for yoʋ that yoʋr faith may not fail. Once yoʋ have turned back, strengthen yoʋr brothers.” ^{Verse 33} Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with yoʋ both to prison and to death.” ^{Verse 34} Jesus said, “I tell yoʋ, Peter, a rooster will certainly not crow today before yoʋ have denied three times that yoʋ know me.” ^{Verse 35} Then Jesus said to them, “When I sent you without a moneybag, knapsack, or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” ^{Verse 36} Then he said to them, “But now he who has a moneybag must take it, and likewise a knapsack. And he who does not have a sword must sell his garment and buy one. ^{Verse 37} For I tell you that this Scripture must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was numbered with the lawless.’ For what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.” ^{Verse 38} So they said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough!” ^{Verse 39} Then Jesus went out and made his way to the Mount of Olives, as was his custom, and his disciples followed him. ^{Verse 40} When he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.” ^{Verse 41} Then he withdrew from them about a stone's throw away and knelt down and prayed, ^{Verse 42} “Father, if yoʋ are willing to take this cup away from me, do so; nevertheless, not my will, but yoʋrs be done.” ^{Verse 43} Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. ^{Verse 44} Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground. ^{Verse 45} When he rose from prayer and came to the disciples, he found them sleeping because of their sorrow. ^{Verse 46} So he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.” 03 Luke 22_43.pngspanPublic Domain (Gustave Doré)Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.22:43 ^{Verse 47} While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd approached, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him, ^{Verse 48} and Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” ^{Verse 49} When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” ^{Verse 50} Then one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. ^{Verse 51} But Jesus responded, “No more of this!” And he touched the man's ear and healed him. ^{Verse 52} Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple, and the elders who had come out against him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against a robber? ^{Verse 53} I was with you daily in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour, when the power of darkness reigns.” ^{Verse 54} Then they arrested him, led him away, and brought him to the house of the high priest, and Peter was following at a distance. ^{Verse 55} Some had kindled a fire there in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, and Peter sat down among them. ^{Verse 56} When a servant girl saw him sitting in the light of the fire, she looked at him intently and said, “This man also was with him.” ^{Verse 57} But Peter denied him, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.” ^{Verse 58} After a little while, someone else saw him and said, “Yoʋ also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.” ^{Verse 59} After about an hour had gone by, another man kept insisting, “Truly this man also was with him, for he too is a Galilean.” ^{Verse 60} But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what yoʋ are talking about!” And immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. ^{Verse 61} Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter, and Peter remembered what the Lord had said to him, “Before a rooster crows, yoʋ will deny me three times.” ^{Verse 62} And Peter went out and wept bitterly. ^{Verse 63} Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody began mocking him and beating him. ^{Verse 64} They also blindfolded him and kept striking his face, saying to him, “Prophesy! Who is it that struck yoʋ?” ^{Verse 65} And they said many other things against him, reviling him. ^{Verse 66} When daybreak came, the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Jesus up to their Sanhedrin and said, ^{Verse 67} “If yoʋ are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will surely not believe. ^{Verse 68} And if I ask you a question, you will surely not answer me or release me. ^{Verse 69} But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” ^{Verse 70} So they all said, “Are yoʋ then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You yourselves say that I am.” ^{Verse 71} Then they said, “What further testimony do we need? For we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth.”
