Luke 22 And the feast of the unleavened bread, called the passover, was nigh.

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And the feast of the unleavened bread, called the passover, was nigh. ² And the chief priests and scribes were seeking how they might kill Him; for they feared the people. ³ And Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. ⁴ And having gone away, he spoke with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might betray Him to them. ⁵ And they rejoiced, and promised to give him money. ⁶ And he promised them, and was seeking an opportunity to deliver Him unto them in the absence of the multitude. ⁷ And the day of the unleavened bread came, in which it behooved to slay the passover. ⁸ And He sent Peter and John, saying, Going prepare for us the passover, in order that we may eat it. ⁹ And they said to Him, Where do you wish that we may prepare it? ¹⁰ And He said to them, Behold, you having come into the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he is going. ¹¹ And say to the landlord, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples? ¹² And he will show you a large upper room furnished: there prepare. ¹³ And having gone away, they found as He told them; and prepared the passover. ¹⁴ And when the hour arrived, He sat down and the apostles along with Him. ¹⁵ And He said to them, I desired with desire to eat this passover with you before I suffer: for I say to you, ¹⁶ I eat this no more, until it may be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. ¹⁷ And receiving the cup, having given thanks, He said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves; ¹⁸ for I say to you, I shall from now drink no more from the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God may come. ¹⁹ And taking bread, blessing it, He broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body given for you: do this in remembrance of me. ²⁰ Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out in your behalf. ²¹ Moreover behold, the hand of the one betraying me is with me at the table. ²² Indeed the Son of man goes, according to that which has been appointed: but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed! ²³ And they began to inquire among themselves, who then of them is the one of them about to do this. ²⁴ And there was a contention among them, which one of them seems to be the greater, ²⁵ And He said to them, The kings of the Gentiles domineer over them; and those exercising authority over them are called Benefactors. ²⁶ But you are not thus: but let the greater among you be as the younger; and the leader as the waiter. ²⁷ For which is the greater, he that sitteth at the table, or the waiter? is not the one sitting? but I am in the midst of you as the waiter. ²⁸ But you are those who have remained with me in my temptations. ²⁹ And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father appointed unto me, ³⁰ in order that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and you shall sit upon thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ³¹ Simon, Simon, behold, Satan sought you out, to sift you as wheat: ³² but I prayed for you, that your faith may not fail you: and thou, when having turned, strengthen thy brethren: ³³ but he said to Him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee to prison and to death. ³⁴ And He said; I say unto thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. ³⁵ Then He said to them, When I sent you without purse, and valise, and sandals, did you lack anything? And they said; Nothing. ³⁶ And He said to them; But now, let the one having a purse, take it, likewise also valise: and let the one having no sword, sell his cloak and buy one. ³⁷ For I say unto you, that it behooves that which has been written to be perfected in me, this, And He was numbered with the transgressors: for indeed that which is concerning me has an end. ³⁸ And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And He said to them, It is sufficient. ³⁹ And having gone out, He departed, according to custom, into the Mount of Olives; and His disciples followed Him. ⁴⁰ He being at the place, He said to them, Pray that you enter not into temptation. ⁴¹ And He was separated from them about a stone's cast; and putting down His knees, continued to pray, ⁴² saying, Father, if this cup is willing to pass from me; moreover let not my will, but thine be done. ⁴³ And an angel from heaven appeared unto Him, strengthening Him. ⁴⁴ And being in agony He continued to pray the more earnestly. And His sweat was like drops of blood falling down upon the ground. ⁴⁵ And having risen from prayer, having come to His disciples, He found them sleeping on account of weariness, ⁴⁶ and He said to them, Why do you sleep? Arising pray, that you may not enter into temptation. ⁴⁷ And He still speaking, behold, a multitude and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them; and he drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. ⁴⁸ And Jesus said to him, Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss? ⁴⁹ And those around Him seeing what was coming on Him, said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? ⁵⁰ And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. ⁵¹ And Jesus responding said, Hold on until this: and touching his ear, healed him. ⁵² Jesus said to the high priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders who were assembled to Him; You have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs. ⁵³ I being daily with you in the temple, you reached not out your hands unto me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness. ⁵⁴ And taking Him, they led Him away, and led Him into the house of the chief priest. And Peter followed Him a long way off. ⁵⁵ And having lighted a fire in the midst of the court, and they sitting together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them. ⁵⁶ And a certain maidservant, seeing him sitting at the fire, and fixing her eyes on him, said, This man was with Him. ⁵⁷ And he denied Him, saying, Woman, I know Him not. ⁵⁸ And after a brief interval another seeing him, said, Truly, thou art one of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. ⁵⁹ And about one hour having elapsed, a certain other man accosted him, saying, He was truly with Him: for he is a Galilean. ⁶⁰ And Peter said, Man, I know Him not. And immediately, he yet speaking, the cock crew. ⁶¹ And the Lord turning, looked upon Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He said to him, that, Before the cock shall crow thou shalt deny me thrice. ⁶² And having gone out, he wept bitterly. ⁶³ And the men having Him, began to mock, beating Him, ⁶⁴ and covering Him, they continued to ask saying, Prophesy, who is the one smiting thee. ⁶⁵ And blaspheming, they continued to speak many other things against Him. ⁶⁶ And when it was day, the eldership of the people was convened, and the chief priests and scribes, and they led Him into their sanhedrim. ⁶⁷ Saying, If thou art the Christ, tell us. And He said to them, If I may tell you, you will not believe: ⁶⁸ and if indeed I will ask you, you will not respond to me, or release me. ⁶⁹ And from now the Son of man shall be sitting on the right hand of the power of God. ⁷⁰ And all said, Art thou the Son of God? And He said to them, You say that I am. ⁷¹ And they said, Why have we yet need of testimony? for we heard from His own mouth.
