Luke 22
1. Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh * , which is called * the Passover.
2. And the chief priests and scribes sought * how they might kill * him; for they feared * the people.
3. Then entered * Satan into Judas surnamed * Iscariot, being * of the number of the twelve.
4. And he went his way * , and communed with * the chief priests and captains,how he might betray * him unto them.
5. And they were glad * , and covenanted * to give * him money.
6. And he promised * , and sought * opportunity to betray * him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
7. Then came * the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must * be killed * .
8. And he sent * Peter and John, saying * , Go * and prepare * us the passover, that we may eat * .
9. And they said * unto him, Where wilt thou * that we prepare * ?
10. And he said * unto them, Behold * , when ye are entered * into the city, there shall * a man meet * you, bearing * a pitcher of water; follow * him into the house where he entereth in * .
11. And ye shall say * unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith * unto thee, Where is * the guestchamber, where I shall eat * the passover with my disciples?
12. And he shall shew * you a large upper room furnished * : there make ready * .
13. And they went * , and found * as he had said * unto them: and they made ready * the passover.
14. And when the hour was come * , he sat down * , and the twelve apostles with him.
15. And he said * unto them,With desire I have desired * to eat * this passover with you before I suffer * :
16. For I say * unto you, I will * not any more eat * thereof, until it be fulfilled * in the kingdom of God.
17. And he took * the cup, and gave thanks * , and said * , Take * this, and divide * it among yourselves:
18. For I say * unto you, I will * not drink * of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come * .
19. And he took * bread, and gave thanks * , and brake * it, and gave * unto them, saying * , This is * my body which is given * for you: this do * in remembrance of me.
20. Likewise also the cup after supper * , saying * , This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed * for you.
21. But, behold * , the hand of him that betrayeth * me is with me on the table.
22. And truly the Son of man goeth * , as it was determined * : but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed * !
23. And they began * to enquire * among themselves, which of them it was * that should * do * this thing.
24. And there was * also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted * the greatest.
25. And he said * unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over * them; and they that exercise authority upon * them are called * benefactors.
26. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be * as the younger; and he that is chief * , as he that doth serve * .
27. For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat * , or he that serveth * ? is not he that sitteth at meat * ? but I am * among you as he that serveth * .
28. Ye are * they which have continued * with me in my temptations.
29. And I appoint * unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed * unto me;
30. That ye may eat * and drink * at my table in my kingdom, and sit * on thrones judging * the twelve tribes of Israel.
31. And the Lord said * , Simon,Simon, behold * , Satan hath desired * to have you, that he may sift * you as wheat:
32. But I have prayed * for thee, that * thy faith fail * not: and when thou art converted * , strengthen * thy brethren.
33. And he said * unto him, Lord, I am * ready to go * with thee, both into prison, and to death.
34. And he said * , I tell * thee, Peter, the cock shall * not crow * this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny * that thou knowest * me.
35. And he said * unto them, When I sent * you without purse,and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye * any thing? And they said * , Nothing.
36. Then said he * unto them, But now, he that hath * a purse, let him take * it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath * no sword, let him sell * his garment, and buy * one.
37. For I say * unto you, that this that is written * must * yet be accomplished * in me, And he was reckoned * among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have * an end.
38. And they said * , Lord, behold * , here are two swords. And he said * unto them, It is * enough.
39. And he came out * , and went * , as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed * him.
40. And when * he was * at the place, he said * unto them, Pray * that ye enter * not into temptation.
41. And he was withdrawn * from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down * , and prayed * ,
42. Saying * , Father, if thou be willing * , remove * this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done * .
43. And there appeared * an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening * him.
44. And being * in an agony he prayed * more earnestly: and his sweat was * as it were great drops of blood falling down * to the ground.
45. And when he rose up * from prayer, and was come * to his disciples, he found * them sleeping * for sorrow,
46. And said * unto them, Why sleep ye * ? rise * and pray * , lest ye enter * into temptation.
47. And while he yet spake * , behold * a multitude, and he that was called * Judas, one of the twelve, went before * them, and drew near * unto Jesus to kiss * him.
48. But Jesus said * unto him,Judas, betrayest thou * the Son of man with a kiss?
49. When they which were about him saw * what would follow * , they said * unto him, 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 answered * and said * , Suffer ye * thus far.And he touched * his ear, and healed * him.
52. Then Jesus said * unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come * to him, Be ye come out * , as against a thief, with swords and staves?
53. When * I was * daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth * no hands against me: but this is * your hour, and the power of darkness.
54. Then took they * him, and led * him, and brought * him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed * afar off.
55. And when they had kindled * a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together * , Peter sat down * among them.
56. But a certain maid beheld * him as he sat * by the fire, and earnestly looked * upon him, and said * , This man was * also with him.
57. And he denied * him, saying * , Woman, I know * him not.
58. And after a little while another saw * him, and said * , Thou art * also of them. And Peter said * , Man, I am * not.
59. And about the space * of one hour after another confidently affirmed * , saying * , Of a truth this fellow also was * with him: for he is * a Galilaean.
60. And Peter said * , Man, I know * not what thou sayest * . And immediately, while he yet spake * , the cock crew * .
61. And the Lord turned * , and looked upon * Peter. And Peter remembered * the word of the Lord, how he had said * unto him, Before the cock crow * , thou shalt deny * me thrice.
62. And Peter went * out, and wept * bitterly.
63. And the men that held * Jesus mocked * him, and smote * him.
64. And when they had blindfolded * him, they struck * him on the face,and asked * him, saying * , Prophesy * , who is it * that smote * thee?
65. And many other things blasphemously * spake they * against him.
66. And as soon as it was * day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together * , and led * him into their council, saying * ,
67. Art * thou the Christ? tell * us. And he said * unto them, If I tell * you, ye will * not believe * :
68. And if I also ask * you, ye will * not answer * me, nor let me go * .
69. Hereafter shall * the Son of man sit * on the right hand of the power of God.
70. Then said * they all, Art * thou then the Son of God? And he said * unto them, Ye say * that I am * .
71. And they said * , What need we any further witness * ? for we ourselves have heard * of his own mouth.
