Luke 22

1
English · Berean Standard Bible

Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,

2
English · Berean Standard Bible

and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death, for they feared the people.

3
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.

4
English · Berean Standard Bible

And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.

5
English · Berean Standard Bible

They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

6
English · Berean Standard Bible

Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.

7
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.

8
English · Berean Standard Bible

Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

9
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.

10
English · Berean Standard Bible

He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,

11
English · Berean Standard Bible

and say to the owner of that house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’

12
English · Berean Standard Bible

And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”

13
English · Berean Standard Bible

So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.

14
English · Berean Standard Bible

When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles.

15
English · Berean Standard Bible

And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.

16
English · Berean Standard Bible

For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17
English · Berean Standard Bible

After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.

18
English · Berean Standard Bible

For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”

19
English · Berean Standard Bible

And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

20
English · Berean Standard Bible

In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you.

21
English · Berean Standard Bible

Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.

22
English · Berean Standard Bible

Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”

23
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.

24
English · Berean Standard Bible

A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them should be considered the greatest.

25
English · Berean Standard Bible

So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.

26
English · Berean Standard Bible

But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.

27
English · Berean Standard Bible

For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am among you as one who serves.

28
English · Berean Standard Bible

You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.

29
English · Berean Standard Bible

And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,

30
English · Berean Standard Bible

so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31
English · Berean Standard Bible

Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you like wheat.

32
English · Berean Standard Bible

But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

33
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”

34
English · Berean Standard Bible

But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”

35
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.

36
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.

37
English · Berean Standard Bible

For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.”

38
English · Berean Standard Bible

So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.

39
English · Berean Standard Bible

Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.

40
English · Berean Standard Bible

When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”

41
English · Berean Standard Bible

And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,

42
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

43
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.

44
English · Berean Standard Bible

And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

45
English · Berean Standard Bible

When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.

46
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”

47
English · Berean Standard Bible

While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.

48
English · Berean Standard Bible

But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49
English · Berean Standard Bible

Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”

50
English · Berean Standard Bible

And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

51
English · Berean Standard Bible

But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.

52
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple officers, and elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against an outlaw?

53
English · Berean Standard Bible

Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on Me. But this hour belongs to you and to the power of darkness.”

54
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.

55
English · Berean Standard Bible

When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

56
English · Berean Standard Bible

A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.

57
English · Berean Standard Bible

But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.

58
English · Berean Standard Bible

A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”

59
English · Berean Standard Bible

About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”

60
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

61
English · Berean Standard Bible

And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word that the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”

62
English · Berean Standard Bible

And he went outside and wept bitterly.

63
English · Berean Standard Bible

The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.

64
English · Berean Standard Bible

They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”

65
English · Berean Standard Bible

And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.

66
English · Berean Standard Bible

At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, met together. They led Jesus into their Sanhedrin and said,

67
English · Berean Standard Bible

“If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.

68
English · Berean Standard Bible

And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.

69
English · Berean Standard Bible

But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

70
English · Berean Standard Bible

So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”

71
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”
