chapter_Luke_22
Luke 22:1: And the feast of the unleavened food was coming nigh, that is called Passover, Luke 22:2: and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they may take him up, for they were afraid of the people. Luke 22:3: And the Adversary entered into Judas, who is surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve, Luke 22:4: and he, having gone away, spake with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might deliver him up to them, Luke 22:5: and they rejoiced, and covenanted to give him money, Luke 22:6: and he agreed, and was seeking a favourable season to deliver him up to them without tumult. Luke 22:7: And the day of the unleavened food came, in which it was behoving the passover to be sacrificed, Luke 22:8: and he sent Peter and John, saying, 'Having gone on, prepare to us the passover, that we may eat;' Luke 22:9: and they said to him, 'Where wilt thou that we might prepare?' Luke 22:10: And he said to them, 'Lo, in your entering into the city, there shall meet you a man, bearing a pitcher of water, follow him to the house where he doth go in, Luke 22:11: and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where the passover with my disciples I may eat? Luke 22:12: and he shall show you a large upper room furnished, there make ready;' Luke 22:13: and they, having gone away, found as he hath said to them, and they made ready the passover. Luke 22:14: And when the hour come, he reclined (at meat), and the twelve apostles with him, Luke 22:15: and he said unto them, 'With desire I did desire to eat this passover with you before my suffering, Luke 22:16: for I say to you, that no more may I eat of it till it may be fulfilled in the reign of God.' Luke 22:17: And having taken a cup, having given thanks, he said, 'Take this and divide to yourselves, Luke 22:18: for I say to you that I may not drink of the produce of the vine till the reign of God may come.' Luke 22:19: And having taken bread, having given thanks, he brake and gave to them, saying, 'This is my body, that for you is being given, this do ye &#8212; to remembrance of me.' Luke 22:20: In like manner, also, the cup after the supping, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, that for you is being poured forth. Luke 22:21: But, lo, the hand of him delivering me up is with me on the table, Luke 22:22: and indeed the Son of Man doth go according to what hath been determined; but woe to that man through whom he is being delivered up.' Luke 22:23: And they began to reason among themselves, who then of them it may be, who is about to do this thing. Luke 22:24: And there happened also a strife among them &#8212; who of them is accounted to be greater. Luke 22:25: And he said to them, 'The kings of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those exercising authority upon them are called benefactors; Luke 22:26: but ye are not so, but he who is greater among you &#8212; let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is ministering; Luke 22:27: for who is greater? he who is reclining (at meat), or he who is ministering? is it not he who is reclining (at meat)? and I &#8212; I am in your midst as he who is ministering. Luke 22:28: And ye &#8212; ye are those who have remained with me in my temptations, Luke 22:29: and I appoint to you, as my Father did appoint to me, a kingdom, Luke 22:30: that ye may eat and may drink at my table, in my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.' Luke 22:31: And the Lord said, 'Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat, Luke 22:32: and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.' Luke 22:33: And he said to him, 'Sir, with thee I am ready both to prison and to death to go;' Luke 22:34: and he said, 'I say to thee, Peter, a cock shall not crow to-day, before thrice thou mayest disown knowing me.' Luke 22:35: And he said to them, 'When I sent you without bag, and scrip, and sandals, did ye lack anything?' and they said, 'Nothing.' Luke 22:36: Then said he to them, 'But, now, he who is having a bag, let him take it up, and in like manner also a scrip; and he who is not having, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword, Luke 22:37: for I say to you, that yet this that hath been written it behoveth to be fulfilled in me: And with lawless ones he was reckoned, for also the things concerning me have an end.' Luke 22:38: And they said, 'Sir, lo, here are two swords;' and he said to them, 'It is sufficient.' Luke 22:39: And having gone forth, he went on, according to custom, to the mount of the Olives, and his disciples also followed him, Luke 22:40: and having come to the place, he said to them, 'Pray ye not to enter into temptation.' Luke 22:41: And he was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone's cast, and having fallen on the knees he was praying, Luke 22:42: saying, 'Father, if Thou be counselling to make this cup pass from me &#8212; ;but, not my will, but Thine be done.' &#8212; Luke 22:43: And there appeared to him a messenger from heaven strengthening him; Luke 22:44: and having been in agony, he was more earnestly praying, and his sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling upon the ground. Luke 22:45: And having risen up from the prayer, having come unto the disciples, he found them sleeping from the sorrow, Luke 22:46: and he said to them, 'Why do ye sleep? having risen, pray that ye may not enter into temptation.' Luke 22:47: And while he is speaking, lo, a multitude, and he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them, and he came nigh to Jesus to kiss him, Luke 22:48: and Jesus said to him, 'Judas, with a kiss the Son of Man dost thou deliver up?' Luke 22:49: And those about him, having seen what was about to be, said to him, 'Sir, shall we smite with a sword?' Luke 22:50: And a certain one of them smote the servant of the chief priest, and took off his right ear, Luke 22:51: and Jesus answering said, 'Suffer ye thus far,' and having touched his ear, he healed him. Luke 22:52: And Jesus said to those having come upon him &#8212; chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders &#8212; 'As upon a robber have ye come forth, with swords and sticks? Luke 22:53: while daily I was with you in the temple, ye did stretch forth no hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of the darkness.' Luke 22:54: And having taken him, they led and brought him to the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following afar off, Luke 22:55: and they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them, Luke 22:56: and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, 'And this one was with him!' Luke 22:57: and he disowned him, saying, 'Woman, I have not known him.' Luke 22:58: And after a little, another having seen him, said, 'And thou art of them!' and Peter said, 'Man, I am not.' Luke 22:59: And one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain other was confidently affirming, saying, 'Of a truth this one also was with him, for he is also a Galilean;' Luke 22:60: and Peter said, 'Man, I have not known what thou sayest;' and presently, while he is speaking, a cock crew. Luke 22:61: And the Lord having turned did look on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him &#8212; 'Before a cock shall crow, thou mayest disown me thrice;' Luke 22:62: and Peter having gone without, wept bitterly. Luke 22:63: And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking him, beating him; Luke 22:64: and having blindfolded him, they were striking him on the face, and were questioning him, saying, 'Prophesy who he is who smote thee?' Luke 22:65: and many other things, speaking evilly, they spake in regard to him. Luke 22:66: And when it became day there was gathered together the eldership of the people, chief priests also, and scribes, and they led him up to their own sanhedrim, Luke 22:67: saying, 'If thou be the Christ, tell us.' And he said to them, 'If I may tell you, ye will not believe; Luke 22:68: and if I also question you, ye will not answer me or send me away; Luke 22:69: henceforth, there shall be the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God.' Luke 22:70: And they all said, 'Thou, then, art the Son of God?' and he said unto them, 'Ye say it, because I am;' Luke 22:71: and they said, 'What need yet have we of testimony? for we ourselves did hear it from his mouth.'
