22Luke 22

1Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, drew near.Select Luke 22:1

2The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.Select Luke 22:2

3Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was numbered with the twelve.Select Luke 22:3

4He went away, and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.Select Luke 22:4

5They were glad, and agreed to give him money.Select Luke 22:5

6He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.Select Luke 22:6

7The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed.Select Luke 22:7

8He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”Select Luke 22:8

9They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”Select Luke 22:9

10He 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.Select Luke 22:10

11Tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’Select Luke 22:11

12He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”Select Luke 22:12

13They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.Select Luke 22:13

14When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.Select Luke 22:14

15He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,Select Luke 22:15

16for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”Select Luke 22:16

17He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this, and share it among yourselves,Select Luke 22:17

18for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until the Kingdom of God comes.”Select Luke 22:18

19He 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.”Select Luke 22:19

20Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.Select Luke 22:20

21But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.Select Luke 22:21

22The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”Select Luke 22:22

23They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.Select Luke 22:23

24There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.Select Luke 22:24

25He said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’Select Luke 22:25

26But 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.Select Luke 22:26

27For 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 your midst as one who serves.Select Luke 22:27

28But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.Select Luke 22:28

29I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,Select Luke 22:29

30that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”Select Luke 22:30

31The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat,Select Luke 22:31

32but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”Select Luke 22:32

33He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”Select Luke 22:33

34He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times.”Select Luke 22:34

35He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, and wallet, and shoes, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”Select Luke 22:35

36Then 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.Select Luke 22:36

37For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ For that which concerns me has an end.”Select Luke 22:37

38They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”Select Luke 22:38

39He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.Select Luke 22:39

40When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”Select Luke 22:40

41He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,Select Luke 22:41

42saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”Select Luke 22:42

43An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.Select Luke 22:43

44Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.Select Luke 22:44

45When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief,Select Luke 22:45

46and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”Select Luke 22:46

47While 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.Select Luke 22:47

48But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”Select Luke 22:48

49When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”Select Luke 22:49

50A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.Select Luke 22:50

51But Jesus answered, “Let me at least do this”—and he touched his ear, and healed him.Select Luke 22:51

52Jesus 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?Select Luke 22:52

53When 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.”Select Luke 22:53

54They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance.Select Luke 22:54

55When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.Select Luke 22:55

56A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with him.”Select Luke 22:56

57He denied Jesus, saying, “Woman, I don’t know him.”Select Luke 22:57

58After a little while someone else saw him, and said, “You also are one of them!” But Peter answered, “Man, I am not!”Select Luke 22:58

59After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!”Select Luke 22:59

60But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.Select Luke 22:60

61The 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.”Select Luke 22:61

62He went out, and wept bitterly.Select Luke 22:62

63The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.Select Luke 22:63

64Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”Select Luke 22:64

65They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.Select Luke 22:65

66As 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,Select Luke 22:66

67“If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you won’t believe,Select Luke 22:67

68and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.Select Luke 22:68

69From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”Select Luke 22:69

70They all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You say it, because I am.”Select Luke 22:70

71They said, “Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!”Select Luke 22:71
