Luke 22

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the pasch, was at hand.	1 The feast of Unleavened Bread, cal ed the Passover, was now drawing near,
2 And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put Jesus to death: but they feared the people.	2 and the chief priests and the scribes were looking for some way of doing away with him, because theywere afraid of the people.
3 And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.	3 Then Satan entered into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.
4 And he went, and discoursed with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might betray him to them.	4 He approached the chief priests and the officers of the guard to discuss some way of handing Jesusover to them.
5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.	5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.
6 And he promised. And he sought opportunity to betray him in the absence of the multitude.	6 He accepted and began to look for an opportunity to betray him to them without people knowing aboutit.
7 And the day of the unleavened bread came, on which it was necessary that the pasch should be killed.	7 The day of Unleavened Bread came round, on which the Passover had to be sacrificed,
8 And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, and prepare for us the pasch, that we may eat.	8 and he sent Peter and John, saying, 'Go and make the preparations for us to eat the Passover.'
9 But they said: Where wilt thou that we prepare?	9 They asked him, 'Where do you want us to prepare it?'
10 And he said to them: Behold, as you go into the city, there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him into the house where he entereth in.	10 He said to them, 'Look, as you go into the city you wil meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Fol owhim into the house he enters
11 And you shall say to the goodman of the house: The master saith to thee, Where is the guest chamber, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples?	11 and tel the owner of the house, "The Master says this to you: Where is the room for me to eat thePassover with my disciples?"
12 And he will shew you a large dining room, furnished; and there prepare.	12 The man wil show you a large upper room furnished with couches. Make the preparations there.'
13 And they going, found as he had said to them, and made ready the pasch.	13 They set off and found everything as he had told them and prepared the Passover.
14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.	14 When the time came he took his place at table, and the apostles with him.
15 And he said to them: With desire I have desired to eat this pasch with you, before I suffer.	15 And he said to them, 'I have ardently longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;
16 For I say to you, that from this time I will not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.	16 because, I tel you, I shal not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.'
17 And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and said: Take, and divide it among you:	17 Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks and said, 'Take this and share it among you,
18 For I say to you, that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, till the kingdom of God come.	18 because from now on, I tel you, I shall never again drink wine until the kingdom of God comes.'
19 And taking bread, he gave thanks, and brake; and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me.	19 Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, 'This ismy body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.'
20 In like manner the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.	20 He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, 'This cup is the new covenant in my bloodpoured out for you.
21 But yet behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.	21 'But look, here with me on the table is the hand of the man who is betraying me.
22 And the Son of man indeed goeth, according to that which is determined: but yet, woe to that man by whom he shall be betrayed.	22 The Son of man is indeed on the path which was decreed, but alas for that man by whom he isbetrayed!'
23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.	23 And they began to ask one another which of them it could be who was to do this.
24 And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should seem to be the greater.	24 An argument also began between them about who should be reckoned the greatest;
25 And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them, are called beneficent.	25 but he said to them, 'Among the gentiles it is the kings who lord it over them, and those who haveauthority over them are given the title Benefactor.
26 But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is the leader, as he that serveth.	26 With you this must not happen. No; the greatest among you must behave as if he were the youngest,the leader as if he were the one who serves.
27 For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth:	27 For who is the greater: the one at table or the one who serves? The one at table, surely? Yet here amI among you as one who serves!
28 And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations:	28 'You are the men who have stood by me faithful y in my trials;
29 And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom;	29 and now I confer a kingdom on you, just as my Father conferred one on me:
30 That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.	30 you wil eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you wil sit on thrones to judge the twelve tribesof Israel.
31 And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:	31 'Simon, Simon! Look, Satan has got his wish to sift you al like wheat;
32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.	32 but I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail, and once you have recovered, you inyour turn must strengthen your brothers.'
33 Who said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.	33 'Lord,' he answered, 'I would be ready to go to prison with you, and to death.'
34 And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me. And he said to them:	34 Jesus replied, 'I tell you, Peter, by the time the cock crows today you wil have denied three times thatyou know me.'
35 When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, did you want anything?	35 He said to them, 'When I sent you out without purse or haversack or sandals, were you short ofanything?'
36 But they said: Nothing. Then said he unto them: But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip; and he that hath not, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword.	36 'No, nothing,' they said. He said to them, 'But now if you have a purse, take it, and the same with ahaversack; if you have no sword, sell your cloak and buy one,
37 For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me: And with the wicked was he reckoned. For the things concerning me have an end.	37 because I tell you these words of scripture are destined to be fulfil ed in me: He was counted as oneof the rebel ious. Yes, what it says about me is even now reaching its fulfilment.'
38 But they said: Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.	38 They said, 'Lord, here are two swords.' He said to them, 'That is enough!'
39 And going out, he went, according to his custom, to the mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him.	39 He then left to make his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, with the disciples fol owing.
40 And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye enter into temptation.	40 When he reached the place he said to them, 'Pray not to be put to the test.'
41 And he was withdrawn away from them a stone's cast; and kneeling down, he prayed,	41 Then he withdrew from them, about a stone's throw away, and knelt down and prayed.
42 Saying: Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me: but yet not my will, but thine be done.	42 'Father,' he said, 'if you are wil ing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, let your will be done,not mine.'
43 And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony, he prayed the longer.	43 Then an angel appeared to him, coming from heaven to give him strength.
44 And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground.	44 In his anguish he prayed even more earnestly, and his sweat fell to the ground like great drops ofblood.
45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow.	45 When he rose from prayer he went to the disciples and found them sleeping for sheer grief.
46 And he said to them: Why sleep you? arise, pray, lest you enter into temptation.	46 And he said to them, 'Why are you asleep? Get up and pray not to be put to the test.'
47 As he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus, for to kiss him.	47 Suddenly, while he was still speaking, a number of men appeared, and at the head of them the mancal ed Judas, one of the Twelve, who went up to Jesus to kiss him.
48 And Jesus said to him: Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?	48 Jesus said, 'Judas, are you betraying the Son of man with a kiss?'
49 And they that were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword?	49 His followers, seeing what was about to happen, said, 'Lord, shal we use our swords?'
50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.	50 And one of them struck the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answering, said: Suffer ye thus far. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.	51 But at this Jesus said, 'That is enough.' And touching the man's ear he healed him.
52 And Jesus said to the chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and the ancients, that were come unto him: Are ye come out, as it were against a thief, with swords and clubs?	52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the Temple guard and elders who had come forhim, 'Am I a bandit, that you had to set out with swords and clubs?
53 When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.	53 When I was among you in the Temple day after day you never made a move to lay hands on me. Butthis is your hour; this is the reign of darkness.'
54 And apprehending him, they led him to the high priest's house. But Peter followed afar off.	54 They seized him then and led him away, and they took him to the high priest's house. Peter fol owedat a distance.
55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were sitting about it, Peter was in the midst of them.	55 They had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and Peter sat down among them,
56 Whom when a certain servant maid had seen sitting at the light, and had earnestly beheld him, she said: This man also was with him.	56 and as he was sitting there by the blaze a servant-girl saw him, peered at him, and said, 'This manwas with him too.'
57 But he denied him, saying: Woman, I know him not.	57 But he denied it. 'Woman, I do not know him,' he said.
58 And after a little while, another seeing him, said: Thou also art one of them. But Peter said: O man, I am not.	58 Shortly afterwards someone else saw him and said, 'You are one of them too.' But Peter replied, 'I amnot, my friend.'
59 And after the space, as it were of one hour, another certain man affirmed, saying: Of a truth, this man was also with him; for he is also a Galilean.	59 About an hour later another man insisted, saying, 'This fel ow was certainly with him. Why, he is aGalilean.'
60 And Peter said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, as he was yet speaking, the cock crew.	60 Peter said, 'My friend, I do not know what you are talking about.' At that instant, while he was stilspeaking, the cock crowed,
61 And the Lord turning looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, as he had said: Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.	61 and the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered the Lord's words when hehad said to him, 'Before the cock crows today, you will have disowned me three times.'
62 And Peter going out, wept bitterly.	62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
63 And the men that held him, mocked him, and struck him.	63 Meanwhile the men who guarded Jesus were mocking and beating him.
64 And they blindfolded him, and smote his face. And they asked him, saying: Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?	64 They blindfolded him and questioned him, saying, 'Prophesy! Who hit you then?'
65 And blaspheming, many other things they said against him.	65 And they heaped many other insults on him.
66 And as soon as it was day, the ancients of the people, and the chief priests and scribes, cane together; and they brought him into their council, saying: If thou be the Christ, tell us.	66 When day broke there was a meeting of the elders of the people, the chief priests and scribes. Hewas brought before their council,
67 And he saith to them: If I shall tell you, you will not believe me.	67 and they said to him, 'If you are the Christ, tel us.' He replied, 'If I tel you, you wil not believe,
68 And if I shall also ask you, you will not answer me, nor let me go.	68 and if I question you, you will not answer.
69 But hereafter the Son of man shall be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.	69 But from now on, the Son of man wil be seated at the right hand of the Power of God.'
70 Then said they all: Art thou then the Son of God? Who said: You say that I am.	70 They all said, 'So you are the Son of God then?' He answered, 'It is you who say I am.'
71 And they said: What need we any further testimony? for we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth.	71 Then they said, 'Why do we need any evidence? We have heard it for ourselves from his own lips.'
