Luke 22

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 The feast of Unleavened Bread, cal ed the Passover, was now drawing near,	1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
2 and the chief priests and the scribes were looking for some way of doing away with him, because theywere afraid of the people.	2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
3 Then Satan entered into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.	3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
4 He approached the chief priests and the officers of the guard to discuss some way of handing Jesusover to them.	4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.	5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6 He accepted and began to look for an opportunity to betray him to them without people knowing aboutit.	6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
7 The day of Unleavened Bread came round, on which the Passover had to be sacrificed,	7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
8 and he sent Peter and John, saying, 'Go and make the preparations for us to eat the Passover.'	8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
9 They asked him, 'Where do you want us to prepare it?'	9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
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	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 tel the owner of the house, "The Master says this to you: Where is the room for me to eat thePassover with my disciples?"	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 The man wil show you a large upper room furnished with couches. Make the preparations there.'	12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
13 They set off and found everything as he had told them and prepared the Passover.	13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
14 When the time came he took his place at table, and the apostles with him.	14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
15 And he said to them, 'I have ardently longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;	15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
16 because, I tel you, I shal not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.'	16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks and said, 'Take this and share it among you,	17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18 because from now on, I tel you, I shall never again drink wine until the kingdom of God comes.'	18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
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.'	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 He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, 'This cup is the new covenant in my bloodpoured out for you.	20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 'But look, here with me on the table is the hand of the man who is betraying me.	21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
22 The Son of man is indeed on the path which was decreed, but alas for that man by whom he isbetrayed!'	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 ask one another which of them it could be who was to do this.	23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
24 An argument also began between them about who should be reckoned the greatest;	24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
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.	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 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.	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 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!	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 'You are the men who have stood by me faithful y in my trials;	28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
29 and now I confer a kingdom on you, just as my Father conferred one on me:	29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
30 you wil eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you wil sit on thrones to judge the twelve tribesof Israel.	30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 'Simon, Simon! Look, Satan has got his wish to sift you al like wheat;	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 you, Simon, that your faith may not fail, and once you have recovered, you inyour turn must strengthen your brothers.'	32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
33 'Lord,' he answered, 'I would be ready to go to prison with you, and to death.'	33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
34 Jesus replied, 'I tell you, Peter, by the time the cock crows today you wil have denied three times thatyou know me.'	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 He said to them, 'When I sent you out without purse or haversack or sandals, were you short ofanything?'	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 '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,	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 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.'	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 They said, 'Lord, here are two swords.' He said to them, 'That is enough!'	38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
39 He then left to make his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, with the disciples fol owing.	39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
40 When he reached the place he said to them, 'Pray not to be put to the test.'	40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41 Then he withdrew from them, about a stone's throw away, and knelt down and prayed.	41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42 'Father,' he said, 'if you are wil ing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, let your will be done,not mine.'	42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43 Then an angel appeared to him, coming from heaven to give him strength.	43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
44 In his anguish he prayed even more earnestly, and his sweat fell to the ground like great drops ofblood.	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 When he rose from prayer he went to the disciples and found them sleeping for sheer grief.	45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
46 And he said to them, 'Why are you asleep? Get up and pray not to be put to the test.'	46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
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.	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 Jesus said, 'Judas, are you betraying the Son of man with a kiss?'	48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
49 His followers, seeing what was about to happen, said, 'Lord, shal we use our swords?'	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 struck the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear.	50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 But at this Jesus said, 'That is enough.' And touching the man's ear he healed him.	51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
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?	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 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.'	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 They seized him then and led him away, and they took him to the high priest's house. Peter fol owedat a distance.	54 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.
55 They had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and Peter sat down among them,	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 and as he was sitting there by the blaze a servant-girl saw him, peered at him, and said, 'This manwas with him too.'	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 But he denied it. 'Woman, I do not know him,' he said.	57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
58 Shortly afterwards someone else saw him and said, 'You are one of them too.' But Peter replied, 'I amnot, my friend.'	58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
59 About an hour later another man insisted, saying, 'This fel ow was certainly with him. Why, he is aGalilean.'	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 Peter said, 'My friend, I do not know what you are talking about.' At that instant, while he was stilspeaking, the cock crowed,	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 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.'	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 he went outside and wept bitterly.	62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
63 Meanwhile the men who guarded Jesus were mocking and beating him.	63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.
64 They blindfolded him and questioned him, saying, 'Prophesy! Who hit you then?'	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 they heaped many other insults on him.	65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
66 When day broke there was a meeting of the elders of the people, the chief priests and scribes. Hewas brought before their council,	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 and they said to him, 'If you are the Christ, tel us.' He replied, 'If I tel you, you wil not believe,	67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
68 and if I question you, you will not answer.	68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
69 But from now on, the Son of man wil be seated at the right hand of the Power of God.'	69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
70 They all said, 'So you are the Son of God then?' He answered, 'It is you who say I am.'	70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
71 Then they said, 'Why do we need any evidence? We have heard it for ourselves from his own lips.'	71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
