Luke 22

The Plot to Kill Jesus
1The # 22:1–2 Mt 26:1–5; Mk 14:1–2 Festival of Unleavened Bread, # 22:1 Ex 23:15 which is called Passover, # 22:1 Ex 12:11; Jn 6:4; 11:55; 13:1 was approaching. 2The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put him to death, # 22:2 Mt 12:14; 21:46 because they were afraid of the people. # 22:2 Lk 19:47–48; 20:19
3Then # 22:3–6 Mt 26:14–16; Mk 14:10–11 Satan entered Judas, # 22:3 Jn 13:2,27; Ac 5:3 called Iscariot, # 22:3 Lk 6:16 who was numbered among the Twelve. 4He went away and discussed with the chief priests and temple police # 22:4 Lk 22:52; Ac 4:1; 5:24,26; 16:20,22,35–36,38 how he could hand him over # 22:4 Mk 9:31 to them. 5They were glad and agreed to give him silver. # 22:5 Or money 6So he accepted the offer and started looking for a good opportunity to betray him to them when the crowd was not present.
Preparation for Passover
7Then # 22:7–13 Mt 26:17–19; Mk 14:12–16 the Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. # 22:7 Ex 12:21; 1Co 5:7 8Jesus sent Peter and John, # 22:8 Ac 3:1; 8:14 saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”
9“Where do you want us to prepare it? ” they asked him.
10 “Listen,” he said to them, “when you’ve entered the city, a man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him into the house he enters. 11Tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks you, “Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples? ” ’ 12Then he will show you a large, furnished room upstairs. # 22:12 Ac 1:13 Make the preparations there.”
13So they went and found it just as he had told them, # 22:13 Lk 19:32 and they prepared the Passover.
The First Lord’s Supper
14When # 22:14 Mt 26:20; Mk 14:17 the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him. 15Then he said to them, “I have fervently desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16For I tell you, I will not eat it again # 22:16 Other mss omit again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” # 22:16 Lk 14:15; Rv 19:9 17Then he took a cup, # 22:17–20 Mt 26:26–29; Mk 14:22–25; 1Co 11:23–25 and after giving thanks, # 22:17 Mt 14:19; 15:36 he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves. 18For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
19And he took bread, gave thanks, broke it, gave it to them, and said, “This is my body, # 22:19 Jn 6:51–53 which is given for you. Do this in remembrance # 22:19 Heb 10:3 of me.”
20In the same way he also took the cup after supper and said, “This cup is the new covenant # 22:20 Ex 24:8; Jr 31:31; Zch 9:11; 1Co 11:25; 2Co 3:6; Heb 7:22; 8:8,13; 9:15; 12:24; 13:20 in my blood, # 22:20 1Co 10:16 which is poured out for you. # 22:19–20 Other mss omit which is given for you (v. 19) through the end of v. 20 21But # 22:21–23 Mt 26:21–24; Mk 14:18–21; Jn 13:18–26 look, the hand of the one betraying me is at the table with me. # 22:21 Ps 41:9 22For the Son of Man will go away as it has been determined, # 22:22 Ac 2:23; 10:42; 17:26,31 but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed! ”
23So they began to argue # 22:23 Mt 21:25; Mk 9:10; Lk 24:15 among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do it.
The Dispute over Greatness
24Then a dispute also arose among them about who should be considered the greatest. # 22:24 Mk 9:34; Lk 1:32 25But he said to them, # 22:25–27 Mt 20:25–28; Mk 10:42–45 “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who have authority over them have themselves called # 22:25 Or them call themselves ‘Benefactors.’ 26It is not to be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever is greatest among you should become like the youngest, # 22:26 Lk 9:48; 1Pt 5:3 and whoever leads, like the one serving. 27For who is greater, the one at the table or the one serving? Isn’t it the one at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves. # 22:27 Mt 20:28; Jn 13:1–17 28You are those who stood by me in my trials. # 22:28 Heb 2:18; 4:15 29I bestow on you a kingdom, # 22:29 Mt 25:34; 2Tm 2:12 just as my Father bestowed one on me, 30so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. # 22:30 Lk 22:16 And you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. # 22:30 Mt 19:28
Peter’s Denial Predicted
31 “Simon, Simon, # 22:31 Other mss read Then the Lord said, “Simon, Simon look out. Satan # 22:31 Mt 4:10 has asked to sift you # 22:31 you is plural in Gk like wheat. # 22:31 Am 9:9 32But I have prayed # 22:32 Jn 17:9–15; Rm 8:34 for you # 22:32 you is singular in Gk that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengthen # 22:32 Jn 21:15–17; 1Co 1:9; Php 1:6; 1Th 5:24; 2Tm 2:13 your brothers.”
33“Lord,” # 22:33–34 Mt 26:33–35; Mk 14:29–31; Jn 13:37–38 he told him, “I’m ready to go with you both to prison and to death.”
34 “I tell you, Peter,” he said, “the rooster will not crow today until # 22:34 Other mss read before you deny three times that you know me.”
Be Ready for Trouble
35He also said to them, “When I sent you out # 22:35 Mt 10:9–10; Mk 6:8; Lk 9:3; 10:4 without money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals, did you lack anything? ”
“Not a thing,” they said.
36Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a money-bag should take it, and also a traveling bag. And whoever doesn’t have a sword should sell his robe and buy one. 37For I tell you, what is written must be fulfilled in me: # 22:37 Or it is necessary that what is written be fulfilled in me And he was counted among the lawless. # 22:37 Is 53:12,# 22:37 Is 53:12 Yes, what is written about me is coming to its fulfillment.” # 22:37 Jn 17:4; 19:30
38“Lord,” they said, “look, here are two swords.”
“That is enough! ” he told them.
The Prayer in the Garden
39He went out and made his way # 22:39 Mt 26:30; Mk 14:26; Lk 4:30; Jn 18:1 as usual # 22:39 Lk 21:37 to the Mount of Olives, # 22:39 Mt 21:1 and the disciples followed him. 40When he reached the place, # 22:40–46 Mt 26:36–46; Mk 14:32–42 he told them, “Pray that you may not fall into temptation.” # 22:40 Mt 6:13; Lk 4:13; 11:4 41Then he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and began to pray, # 22:41 Lk 18:11 42“Father, if you are willing, take this cup # 22:42 Jn 18:11 away from me — nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”
43Then an angel from heaven # 22:43 Mt 4:11; Heb 1:14 appeared to him, strengthening him. 44Being in anguish, # 22:44 Heb 5:7 he prayed more fervently, and his sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground. # 22:43–44 Other mss omit vv. 43–44 45When he got up from prayer and came to the disciples, he found them sleeping, exhausted from their grief. 46“Why are you sleeping? ” he asked them. “Get up and pray, so that you won’t fall into temptation.”
Judas’s Betrayal of Jesus
47While # 22:47–53 Mt 26:47–56; Mk 14:43–50; Jn 18:3–12 he was still speaking, suddenly a mob came, and one of the Twelve named Judas was leading them. He came near Jesus to kiss him, 48but Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss? ”
49When those around him saw what was going to happen, they asked, “Lord, should we strike with the sword? ” 50Then one of them struck the high priest’s servant and cut off his right ear.
51But Jesus responded, “No more of this! ” And touching his ear, he healed him. 52Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple police, and the elders who had come for him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a criminal? # 22:52 Lit as against a thief, or a bandit 53Every day while I was with you in the temple, # 22:53 Lk 2:46; Jn 18:20 you never laid a hand on me. But this is your hour # 22:53 Jn 12:27; 16:4 — and the dominion of darkness.” # 22:53 Ac 26:18; Eph 6:12; Col 1:13
Peter Denies His Lord
54They seized him, led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. Meanwhile Peter # 22:54 Mt 26:58; Mk 14:54; Jn 18:15 was following at a distance. 55They # 22:55–62 Mt 26:69–75; Mk 14:66–72; Jn 18:16–18,25–27 lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard # 22:55 Mt 26:3 and sat down together, and Peter sat among them. 56When a servant saw him sitting in the light, and looked closely at him, she said, “This man was with him too.”
57But he denied it: “Woman, I don’t know him.”
58After a little while, someone else saw him and said, “You’re one of them too.”
“Man, I am not! ” Peter said.
59About an hour later, another kept insisting, “This man was certainly with him, since he’s also a Galilean.”
60But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about! ” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. 61Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter. # 22:61 Mk 10:21 So Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.” # 22:61 Lk 22:31–34; Ac 3:13–14 62And he went outside and wept bitterly.
Jesus Mocked and Beaten
63The men who were holding Jesus started mocking and beating him. # 22:63–65 Mt 26:67–68; Mk 14:65; Jn 18:22–23 64After blindfolding him, they kept # 22:64 Other mss add striking him on the face and asking, “Prophesy! Who was it that hit you? ” 65And they were saying many other blasphemous # 22:65 Mk 3:29 things to him.
Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin
66When daylight came, # 22:66 Mt 27:1; Mk 15:1; Jn 18:28 the elders # 22:66 Or council of elders of the people, both the chief priests and the scribes, # 22:66 Lk 9:22; 20:1 convened and brought him before their Sanhedrin. # 22:66 Mk 13:9 67They said, # 22:67–71 Mt 26:63–66; Mk 14:61–64; Jn 18:19–21 “If you are the Messiah, tell us.”
But he said to them, “If I do tell you, you will not believe. 68And if I ask you, you will not answer. 69But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” # 22:69 Ps 110:1; Mk 16:19; Ac 7:56; Heb 1:3
70They all asked, “Are you, then, the Son of God? ” # 22:70 Mt 4:3; Lk 1:32,35
And he said to them, “You say that I am.” # 22:70 Mt 26:64; 27:11; Lk 23:3
71“Why do we need any more testimony,” they said, “since we’ve heard it ourselves from his mouth? ”

Lukas 22
22
1And the Chag HaMatzot was approaching, the feast called Pesach. 2And the Rashei Hakohanim and the Sofrim were seeking how they might destroy him, for they were afraid of the people.
3And HaSatan entered into Yehudah, the one being called Yehudah from K'riot, being one of the Shneym Asar. 4And having departed, Yehudah spoke with the Rashei Hakohanim and Ketzinim (Officers) of the Beis Hamikdash how he might hand him over to them. 5And they got a lot of geshmak out of this, and they agreed to pay him kesef.#22:5 Zech 11:12 6And Yehudah consented and he was seeking an opportunity to betray him when there was no multitude with them.
7Shoin (already) now came the Yom HaMatzot, in which it was necessary to sacrifice the Pesach Korban, the Seh (Lamb).#22:7 Isa 53:7; Ex 12:18-20; Dt 16:5-8 8And he sent Kefa and Yochanan, having said, Go and make our preparations that we may eat and have the Pesach Seder. 9And they said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Where do you wish that we should prepare it? 10And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Hinei. When you enter into HaIr, you will meet a man carrying a jar of mayim. Follow him into the bais (house) into which he enters, 11And you will say to the Baal Bayit, The Rebbe says to you, Where is the mekom linah (guest room) where I may conduct the Pesach Seder with my talmidim? 12And that one will show you a large aliyyah having been furnished: there prepare the Seder. 13And having departed, they found things just as he had told them, and they prepared the Seder.
14And when the hour came, he reclined at tish and the Moshiachʼs Shlichim were with him. 15And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, With great tshuka (deep and sincere desire, longing) I have desired to eat this Pesach with you before I suffer. 16For I say to you, I may by no means eat it until it is fulfilled in the Malchut Hashem. 17And having taken the Cup of Redemption, having made the bracha, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Take this, and share it among yourselves. 18For I say to you, from now on by no means shall I drink from the p'ri hagefen until the Malchut Hashem comes. 19And having taken the Afikoman and having made the hamotzi, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach broke the matzah and gave it to them, saying, This is my BASAR#22:19 Ex 12:8 being given for you: this do in zikaron (remembrance) of me.#22:19 Lv 5:7; 6:23; Ezek 43:21; Isa 53:8 20And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach took the kos (cup) similarly after they ate, saying, This kos (cup) is HaBrit HaChadasha in my dahm, being shed for you.#22:20 Ex 24:8; Isa 42:6; Jer 31:31-34; Zech 9:11; Isa 53:10-12 21Nevertheless, hinei, the hand of the one betraying me is with me on the tish (table).#22:21 Ps 41:9 22Because the Bar Enosh#22:22 Moshiach, Dan 7:13-14 indeed goes according to the thing having been determined: but oy to that man through whom he is betrayed. 23And they began to discuss among themselves who then it might be among them that would do this.
24And there came about also a dispute among them, as to which of them seemed to be the Gadol. 25And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, The melachim (kings) of the Goyim domineer them and the ones having shlita (control) over the Goyim are called benefactors. 26But with you it is not so, but he of the Gedolim among you, let him be as the youngest, and he of the Manhigim, as the one serving. 27For who is HaGadol? The one reclining at tish or the one serving? Is it not the one reclining at tish? But I am in your midst as one serving.
28But you are the ones having remained with me in my nisyonos (temptations). 29And I assign shlita (authority) to you, just as Avi assigned shlita to me; a Malchut (Kingdom), 30That you may eat and drink at my tish in my Malchut, and you will sit upon kissot (thrones) judging the Shneym Asar Shivtei Yisroel (Twelve Tribes of Yisroel).
31Shim'on, Shim'on, hinei, HaSatan asked for you, to sift you like wheat.#22:31 Job 1:6-12; Am 9:9 32But I davened for you, that your emunah may not fail: and when you have made teshuva, give chizzuk to your Achim b'Moshiach. 33But Shim'on Kefa said to him, Adoni, with you I am prepared even to go to the beis hasohar, even to die al kiddush ha-Shem. 34But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, I say to you, a tarnegol will not crow hayom until shalosh pe'amim you, Kefa, will make hakhchashah (denial) of your daas of me.
35He said to them, When I sent you without a money belt and a bag and sandals, did you lack anything? And they said, Nothing. 36Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, But now the one having a money belt, let him take it; likewise also a bag; and the one not having, let him sell his kaftan and let him buy a cherev. 37For I say to you, that it is necessary that what stands written be fulfilled in me, VES POSHEIM NIMNAH#22:37 Isa 53:12 (and with lawless persons he was numbered). For indeed what was written about me is being fulfilled. 38And they said, Adoni, hinei, here are shtei charavot (two swords). And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, It is enough.
39And having gone out, he went according to his kvius (regimen) to the Har HaZeytim, and his talmidim followed him also. 40And having come to the place, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Daven and offer tefillos, lest you enter lidey nisayon#22:40 Mt 6:13 (into temptation). 41And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had withdrawn from them about a stoneʼs throw, and, having fallen down, he was davening, 42Saying, Avi, im yirtzeh Hashem, if You are willing, take this kos (cup) away from me. Nevertheless not the ratzon of me but rtzonecha (Thy will) be done.#22:42 Mt 6:10 43And a malach min HaShomayim appeared to him, strengthening him. 44And having been in agony, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was davening more fervently; and his sweat became like drops of dahm falling down upon the adamah. 45And having got up from davening and having come to the talmidim, he found them sleeping, because of agmat nefesh (grief). 46And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Why are you sleeping? Get up, daven, lest you enter lidey nisayon (into temptation).
47Yet as he was speaking, hinei, a multitude! And going at their head was the one being called Yehudah, one of the Shneym Asar, and he drew near to Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach to give him a neshikah (kiss). 48And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Yehudah, do you with a neshikah the Bar Enosh#22:48 Moshiach, Dan 7:13-14 betray? 49But having seen what was coming, the ones around Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Adoni, should we strike with the cherev (sword)? 50And a certain one of them struck the eved (servant) of the Rashei Hakohanim and cut off his right ear. 51And, in reply, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said, Blaib shtein! (Stop!) No more of this! And having touched the ear, he healed him. 52And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to the ones having come against him, the Rashei Hakohanim and the Beis Hamikdash shomrim and the Ziknei HaAm, Do you have the chutzpah to come out as against a ganav (thief) with charavot and clubs? 53Yom Yom (Daily) I was with you in the Beis Hamikdash and you did not stretch out your hands against me, but this is your hour and the shlita of choshech (power of evil, sitra ahra).
54And having seized Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, they led him away and brought him into the bais of the Kohen Gadol. And Kefa was following from a distance. 55And some kindled a hadlakah (bonfire) in the middle of the courtyard, and having sat down together, Kefa was sitting in their midst. 56And a certain shifcha, seeing him sitting in the light of the hadlakah (bonfire), staring intently at Kefa, said, And this one was with him. 57But Kefa denied it, saying, I do not have daas of him, isha. 58And after a short while, another, having seen him, said, And you are of them! But Kefa said, Man, I am not! 59And about one hour had passed, and still another was insisting, saying, Beemes (in actuality) this one was with him also, for he also is a Gelili (inhabitant of the Galil)! 60But Kefa said, Ben Adam, I do not have daas what you are saying. And immediately, while Kefa was speaking, a tarnegol crowed. 61And having turned, Adoneinu looked at Kefa, and Kefa was reminded of the dvar of Moshiach Adoneinu when he said to him, Before the tarnegol crows hayom (today) you will make hakhchashah (denial) of me shalosh pe'amim. 62And having gone outside Kefa wept bitterly.
63And the men, the ones having Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in custody, were ridiculing and beating him. 64And having blindfolded him, they were setting a she'elah in front of him, saying, Give a dvar nevuah, who is the one having given you a klap (blow)? 65And with much other Chillul Hashem gadfanut they were speaking against Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
66And when boker came, the Ziknei HaAm were gathered together, both the Rashei Hakohanim and the Sofrim, and they led him away to their Sanhedrin, 67Saying, If you are the Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, tell us. But he said to them, If I say this to you, you will by no means have emunah. 68And if I set a she'elah before you, you will by no means give answer. 69But from now on the Bar Enosh#22:69 Moshiach, Dan 7:13-14 will be YOSHEV LIMIN at the gevurat Hashem.#22:69 Ps 110:1 70And everyone said, Then you are the Ben HaElohim? Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, You are saying that I am. 71And to them they said, Why still do we have need of an eidus (witness)? For we ourselves heard from his peh (mouth)!
