ULT LUKE Chapter 22

22 And the Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was coming near. 2 And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might kill him, for they were fearing the people.

3 Then Satan entered into Judas, the one called Iscariot, being from the number of the Twelve. 4 And having gone away, he spoke with the chief priests and captains about how he might hand him over to them. 5 And they rejoiced, and they agreed to give him silver. 6 And he agreed and was seeking an opportunity to hand him over to them away from the crowd.

7 Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread, on which it was necessary to sacrifice the Passover. 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, “Going, prepare for us the Passover, so that we may eat it.” 9 And they said to him, “Where do you wish that we should prepare it?” 10 And he answered them, “Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house into which he enters. 11 And say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’ 12 And that one will show you a large upper room, furnished. Prepare it there.” 13 And having gone away, they found it just as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

14 And when it was the hour, he reclined to eat, and the apostles with him. 15 And he said to them, “With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I say to you that I will certainly not eat it until when it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” 17 And having taken a cup and having given thanks, he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves. 18 For I say to you, from now on I will certainly not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God comes.” 19 And having taken bread, having given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in my remembrance.” 20 And the cup in the same way after the supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. 21 But behold, the hand of the one handing me over is with me on the table. 22 For the Son of Man indeed goes according to what has been determined. But woe to that man through whom he is handed over!” 23 And they began to discuss among themselves about which of them therefore might be the one going to do this.

24 Then a quarrel also happened among them about which of them seems to be greater. 25 But he said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and the ones having authority over them are called Benefactors. 26 But you be not thus. Instead, let the greater among you become like the younger. and the one leading like the one serving. 27 For who is greater, the one reclining to eat or the one serving? Is it not the one reclining to eat? But I am in the midst of you as one serving. 28 But you are the ones having continued with me in my trials. 29 And I grant to you, just as my Father has granted to me, a kingdom, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel.

31 Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has asked to sift you like wheat. 32 But I have asked concerning you that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” 33 But he said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.” 34 But he said, “I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today before you deny three times that you know me.”

35 And he said to them, “When I sent you out without a money bag and sack and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” And they said, “Nothing.” 36 Then he said to them, “But now, the one having a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a sack. And the one not having a sword, let him sell his cloak and buy one. 37 For I say to you, this that is written must be accomplished in me, ‘And he was reckoned with the lawless.’ For indeed the thing concerning me has an accomplishment.” 38 Then they said, “Lord, behold! Here are two swords.” And he said to them, “It is enough.”

39 And having gone out, he went according to his custom to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him. 40 And having come to the place, he said to them, “Pray not to enter into temptation.” 41 And he went away from them about the throw of a stone, and having put down his knees, he was praying, 42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Yet, let not my will, but yours, happen.” 43 [fn] [And an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him. 44 [fn] And being in agony, he was praying more earnestly, and his sweat became like drops of blood falling on the ground.] 45 And having risen up from the prayer, having come to the disciples, he found them sleeping from the sorrow. 46 And he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Having risen up, pray so that you do not enter into temptation.”

47 He still speaking, behold a crowd, and the one called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. And he came near to Jesus to kiss him. 48 But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” 49 And the ones around him, having seen what was going to happen, said, “Lord, if we will strike with a sword?” 50 And a certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But answering, Jesus said, “Allow up to this!” And touching his ear, he healed him. 52 Then Jesus said to the ones having come out against him—chief priests and captains of the temple and elders—“As against a robber have you come out with swords and clubs? 53 I being with you each day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the authority of the darkness.”

54 Now having seized him, they led him away and brought him into the house of the high priest. But Peter was following from a distance. 55 And they having kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them. 56 Then a certain servant girl, having seen him sitting towards the light and looking steadily at him, said, “This one also was with him.” 57 But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.” 58 And after a little while another, having seen him, said, “You also are from them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.” 59 And about one hour having passed, a certain other one was insisting, saying, “In truth, this one was also with him, for he is also a Galilean.” 60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. 61 And turning, the Lord looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, that he said to him, “Before a rooster crows today you will deny me three times.” 62 And going outside, he wept bitterly.

63 And the men holding him were mocking and beating him. 64 And having blindfolded him, they were questioning him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is the one having hit you?” 65 And they were saying many other things to him, blaspheming him.

66 And when it became day, the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him into their Sanhedrin, 67 saying, “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I told you, you would certainly not believe; 68 and if I questioned you, you would certainly not answer. 69 But from now, the Son of Man will be sitting at the right hand of the power of God.” 70 Then they all said, “Therefore are you the Son of God?” And he said to them, “You are saying that I am.” 71 And they said, “Why do we still have need of testimony? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.”
