Luke 22

The Plot to Kill Jesus
Mt 26:1–5, 14–16; Mk 14:1–2, 10–11; Jn 11:45–53
1#Mk 14:1–2; Ex 12:6–23Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, drew near. 2And the chief priests and scribes were seeking how to kill Jesus, for they feared the people. 3#Jn 13:2; Mk 14:10–11Then Satan entered into Judas, called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve. 4#Ac 4:1; 5:24He went and discussed with the chief priests and captains how he might betray Him to them. 5They were glad and agreed to give him money. 6He fully consented and searched for an opportunity to betray Him to them apart from the crowds.
The Preparation of the Passover
Mt 26:17–25; Mk 14:12–21; Jn 13:21–30
7#Ex 12:18Then the Day of Unleavened Bread came, when the Passover lamb must be killed. 8He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us to eat it.”
9They said to Him, “Where will You have us prepare it?”
10He said to them, “Now, as you enter the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you there. Follow him into the house which he enters, 11#Jn 11:28and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’ 12#Ac 1:13He will show you a large furnished upper room. Prepare there.”
13They went and found it as He had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
The Lord’s Supper
Mt 26:26–30; Mk 14:22–26; 1Co 11:23–25
14#Mt 26:20; Mk 14:17When the hour had come, He and the twelve apostles with Him sat down. 15And He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16#Lk 14:15; Rev 19:9For I tell you, I will never eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17And He took the cup and gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves. 18#Mt 26:29; Mk 14:25For I tell you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
19#1Co 10:16; Mt 26:26–28Then He took the bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.”
20#Ex 24:8; Zec 9:11In like manner, He took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood which is shed for you. 21#Ps 41:9; Jn 13:26But see the hand of him who betrays Me is with Me at the table. 22#Ac 2:23Indeed, the Son of Man goes as it has been determined. But woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!” 23They began to inquire among themselves which of them it was who would do this.
The Dispute About Greatness
24#Mk 9:34; Lk 9:46There was also rivalry among them concerning which of them was to be counted the greatest. 25#Mt 20:25–28He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called benefactors. 26#Lk 9:48But you are not so. Instead, let him who is greatest among you be as the younger, and he who rules as he who serves. 27#Mt 20:28; Lk 12:37For who is greater: he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? But I am among you as He who serves. 28#Heb 2:18; 4:15You are those who have continued with Me in My trials. 29#2Ti 2:12; Mt 25:34And I appoint to you a kingdom as My Father has appointed one to Me, 30#Mt 19:28; Lk 14:15so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
Peter’s Denial Foretold
31#Am 9:9; Job 1:6–12Then the Lord said, “Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has demanded to have you to sift you as wheat. 32#Jn 21:15–17; Ro 8:34But I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have repented, strengthen your brothers.”
33#Mt 26:33–35; Mk 14:29He said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You to prison and to death.”
34#Mt 26:34; Mk 14:30He said, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know Me.”
Purse, Bag, and Sword
35#Lk 9:3; Mt 10:9–10Then He said to them, “When I sent you without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?”
They said, “Nothing.”
36He said to them, “But now, let him who has a purse take it and also a bag. And let him who has no sword sell his garment and buy one. 37#Isa 53:12For I tell you, what is written must yet be accomplished in Me, ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’#Isa 53:12. Indeed, what is written concerning Me has a fulfillment.”
38They said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.”
He said to them, “It is enough.”
The Prayer on the Mount of Olives
Mt 26:36–46; Mk 14:32–42
39#Lk 21:37; Mt 21:1According to His custom, He came out and went to the Mount of Olives. And His disciples followed Him. 40#Mt 6:13; Lk 22:46When He came there, He said to them, “Pray that you may not fall into temptation.” 41#Mt 26:39; Mk 14:35He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, 42#Mt 20:22“Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me. Nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” 43#Mt 4:11; 1Ti 3:16An angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him. 44#La 1:12; Heb 5:7And being in anguish, He prayed more earnestly. And His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45When He rose from prayer and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow. 46#Lk 22:40He said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you fall into temptation.”
The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus
Mt 26:47–56; Mk 14:43–50; Jn 18:3–11
47While He was yet speaking, a crowd came. And he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. 48But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49#Lk 22:38When those who were around Him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” 50And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
51But Jesus said, “This is enough!” And He touched his ear and healed him.
52#Lk 22:4Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple guard, and the elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as against a rebel? 53#Jn 12:27; Ac 26:18Daily, while I was with you in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness!”
Peter’s Denial of Jesus
Mt 26:57–58, 69–75; Mk 14:53–54, 66–72; Jn18:12–18, 25–27
54#Mt 26:57–58; Mk 14:53–54Then they arrested Him, and led Him away, and brought Him into the high priest’s house. Peter followed at a distance. 55But when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them. 56Then a servant girl saw him as he sat near the fire, and gazed at him, and said, “This man was with Him.”
57But he denied Him, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”
58A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.”
Peter said, “Man, I am not!”
59About an hour later another man firmly declared, “Certainly, this man also was with Him, for he is a Galilean.”
60Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying.” Immediately, while he was yet speaking, the rooster crowed. 61#Lk 22:34The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” 62And Peter went outside and wept bitterly.
The Mocking and Whipping of Jesus
Mt 26:67–68; Mk 14:65
63#Jn 18:22The men who guarded Jesus mocked Him and whipped Him. 64When they had blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the face and asked Him, “Prophesy! Who struck You?” 65And many other things they blasphemously spoke against Him.
Jesus Before the Council
Mt 26:59–66; Mk 14:55–64; Jn 18:19–24
66#Mt 27:1; Mk 15:1When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him away to their council, saying, 67“Are You the Christ? Tell us!”
He said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe. 68#Lk 20:3–7And if I also question you, you will not answer Me or release Me. 69#Mk 16:19; Ps 110:1From now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
70#Lk 23:3; Mt 26:64They all said, “Are You then the Son of God?”
He said to them, “You truly say that I am.”
71Then they said, “What further testimony do we need? We have heard it from His own mouth.”

The Chief Priests and Scribes Plot to Kill Jesus
1 Now the feast of Unleavened Bread (which is called Passover) was drawing near. 2And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they could destroy him, because they were afraid of the people.

3And Satan entered into Judas, the one called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve. 4And he went away and#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“went away”) has been translated as a finite verb discussed with the chief priests and officers of the temple guard how he could betray him to them. 5And they were delighted, and came to an agreement with him to give him#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation money. 6And he agreed, and began looking#*The imperfect tense has been translated as ingressive here (“began looking”) for a favorable opportunity to betray him to them apart from the crowd.
Jesus’ Final Passover with the Disciples
7And the day of the feast of Unleavened Bread came, on which it was necessary for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed. 8And he sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“go”) has been translated as a finite verb prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation 9So they said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation 10And he said to them, “Behold, when#*Here “when” is supplied as a component of the temporal genitive absolute participle (“have entered”) you have entered into the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters. 11And you will 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?” ’ 12And he will show you a large furnished#Or perhaps “paved” or “panelled” upstairs room. Make preparations there.” 13So they went and#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“went”) has been translated as a finite verb found everything#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
The Lord’s Supper
14And when the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him. 15And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired#Literally “I have desired with desire” to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16For I tell you that I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” 17And he took in hand a cup, and#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“took in hand”) has been translated as a finite verb after#*Here “after” is supplied as a component of the temporal participle (“giving thanks”) giving thanks he said, “Take this and share it#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation among yourselves. 18For I tell you,#Some manuscripts have “I tell you that” from now on I will not drink of the product of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
19And he took bread, and#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“took”) has been translated as a finite verb after#*Here “after” is supplied as a component of the temporal participle (“giving thanks”) giving thanks, he broke it#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation and gave it#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 20And in the same way the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood which is poured out for you.
21“But behold, the hand of the one who is betraying me is with me on the table! 22For the Son of Man is going according to what has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!” 23And they began to debate with one another who then of them it could be who was going to do this.
A Dispute About Who Is Greatest
24And a dispute also occurred among them as to which of them was recognized as being greatest. 25So he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles#The same Greek word can be translated “nations” or “Gentiles” depending on the context lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called benefactors. 26But you are not to be like this! But the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves. 27For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am in your midst as the one who serves.
28“And you are the ones who have remained#Or “ones who have continued” with me in my trials, 29and I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred on me, 30that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And you, when#*Here “when” is supplied as a component of the participle (“have turned back”) which is understood as temporal once you have turned back,#Or “have turned around” strengthen your brothers.” 33But he said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!” 34And he said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know me!”
The Two Swords
35And he said to them, “When I sent you out without a money bag and a traveler’s bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?”#*The negative construction in Greek anticipates a negative answer here, indicated in the translation by “did you” And they said, “Nothing.” 36And he said to them, “But now the one who has a money bag must take it,#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation and likewise a traveler’s bag. And the one who does not have a sword must sell his cloak and buy one. 37For I tell you that this that is written must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was counted with the criminals.’#A quotation from Isa 53:12 For indeed, what is written#*The phrase “what is written” is not in the Greek text but is an understood repetition of the similar phrase at the beginning of the verse about me is being fulfilled.”#Literally “is having an end” 38So they said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords!” And he said to them, “It is adequate.”

47While#*Here “while” is supplied as a component of the temporal genitive absolute participle (“speaking”) he was still speaking, behold, there came a crowd, and the one named Judas, one of the twelve, leading them.
