Lucas 22
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
O plano para matar Jesus
(Mt 26.1-5; Mc 14.1-2; Jo 11.45-53)
22 Estava próxima a Festa dos Pães sem Fermento, chamada a Páscoa. 2 Os líderes dos sacerdotes e os professores da lei procuravam um meio de matar a Jesus, mas temiam o povo.
Judas concorda em ajudar os inimigos de Jesus
(Mt 26.14-16; Mc 14.10-11)
3 Então Satanás entrou em Judas (chamado Iscariotes), o qual era um dos doze apóstolos e 4 ele foi falar com os líderes dos sacerdotes e com os chefes da guarda do templo para combinar um jeito de entregar a Jesus nas mãos deles. 5 Eles ficaram muito contentes e concordaram em lhe dar dinheiro. 6 Judas aceitou e começou a procurar uma oportunidade de trair Jesus, na qual a multidão não estivesse com ele.
Os preparativos para a Páscoa
(Mt 26.17-25; Mc 14.12-21; Jo 13.21-30)
7 O dia da Festa dos Pães sem Fermento[a] chegou e, nesse dia, o cordeiro da Páscoa era sacrificado. 8 Jesus, então, enviou Pedro e João com as seguintes instruções:
—Vão e preparem o jantar da Páscoa para nós comermos.
9 Eles lhe disseram:
—Onde você quer que nós o preparemos?
10 Ele lhes respondeu:
—Quando vocês entrarem na cidade, um homem, levando uma jarra de água, encontrará com vocês. Sigam-no e entrem na casa em que ele entrar. 11 Digam ao dono da casa: “O Mestre mandou perguntar onde fica a sala de jantar na qual ele e os seus discípulos poderão comer o jantar da Páscoa”. 12 Esse homem lhes mostrará uma grande sala mobiliada, no andar de cima da casa; façam ali os preparativos.
13 Eles foram e encontraram tudo exatamente como ele lhes havia dito. E então prepararam o jantar da Páscoa.
A Ceia do Senhor
(Mt 26.26-30; Mc 14.22-26; 1Co 11.23-25)
14 Quando chegou a hora, Jesus tomou seu lugar à mesa com os apóstolos e 15 lhes disse:
—Eu tenho desejado muito comer este jantar da Páscoa junto com vocês, antes do meu sofrimento. 16 Pois eu lhes digo que nunca mais o comerei até que ele receba o significado completo no reino de Deus.
17 Então, pegando o cálice, Jesus agradeceu a Deus e disse:
—Peguem isto e dividam entre vocês, 18 pois eu lhes digo: Nunca mais beberei vinho até que chegue o reino de Deus.
19 E, pegando o pão, agradeceu a Deus, o partiu em pedaços e os deu a seus discípulos, dizendo:
—Isto é o meu corpo, que é dado por vocês. Façam isto para se lembrar de mim.
20 Depois do jantar, Jesus fez o mesmo com o cálice, dizendo:
—Este cálice representa a nova aliança[b] entre Deus e seu povo, selada com o meu sangue, que é derramado a favor de vocês[c].
O traidor come a ceia com o Senhor
21 No entanto, vejam! Aquele que vai me trair está aqui comigo à mesa! 22 Isto acontece para que o Filho do Homem morra como já foi determinado; mas ai daquele por quem ele é traído! 23 Eles, então, começaram a perguntar uns aos outros qual deles estaria pensando em fazer aquilo.
Quem é o mais importante?
24 E também começaram a discutir entre si, querendo saber qual deles seria considerado o mais importante. 25 Mas Jesus lhes disse:
—Os reis das nações dominam o povo e os governadores fazem com que as pessoas os chamem de amigos do povo. 26 Mas, entre vocês não deve ser assim. Pelo contrário, o maior entre vocês deve ser como o mais insignificante e o que governa como o que serve. 27 Pois, quem é mais importante? O que está à mesa ou o que serve? Não é o que está à mesa? Porém, eu estou entre vocês como aquele que serve. 28 Vocês têm estado sempre firmes comigo nas minhas provações. 29 E assim como meu Pai me deu o poder para governar, eu o dou a vocês, 30 para que vocês possam comer e beber à mesa comigo no meu reino. E vocês, então, se sentarão em tronos e julgarão as doze tribos de Israel.
Jesus diz que Pedro vai negá-lo
(Mt 26.31-35; Mc 14.27-31; Jo 13.36-38)
31 —Simão, Simão![d] Satanás pediu para colocar todos vocês à prova, peneirando-os como se peneira o trigo. 32 Eu tenho orado por você, para que não lhe falte fé. E, quando você voltar, ajude os seus irmãos.
33 Pedro lhe disse:
—Eu estou pronto para ir para a cadeia ou até mesmo morrer pelo senhor!
34 E Jesus lhe disse:
—Eu lhe digo uma coisa, Pedro: Antes que o galo cante hoje, você negará três vezes que me conhece.
Jesus avisa os discípulos
35 E Jesus continuou, dizendo:
—Quando eu os enviei sem dinheiro, sem mala, e sem sandálias, por acaso lhes faltou alguma coisa?
Eles responderam:
—Não, nada.
36 Ele lhes disse:
—Agora, porém, quem tiver dinheiro, que o leve; quem tiver mala, que a leve também; e quem não tiver uma espada, que venda a sua capa e compre uma. 37 Pois as Escrituras dizem: “Ele foi considerado como um criminoso”.(A) E esta referência, que deve ser cumprida em mim, está prestes a acontecer.
38 Eles disseram:
—Senhor, olhe! Aqui estão duas espadas.
—Basta!—disse Jesus.
Jesus ora sozinho
(Mt 26.36-46; Mc 14.32-42)
39 Depois, como de costume, Jesus saiu e foi para o monte das Oliveiras e os seus discípulos o seguiram. 40 Quando chegaram ao lugar escolhido, Jesus lhes disse:
—Orem para não caírem em tentação.
41 E afastando-se deles alguns metros, ajoelhou-se e orou, dizendo:
42 —Pai, o senhor pode afastar de mim este cálice de sofrimento,[e] se quiser. Mas, que seja feita a sua vontade, e não a minha. 43 Um anjo do céu apareceu para lhe dar forças. 44 Jesus, porém, cheio de angústia, orou ainda com mais força e seu suor era como gotas de sangue caindo no chão.[f] 45 Quando Jesus terminou de orar, se levantou e se aproximou dos discípulos e os encontrou dormindo. (Eles estavam exaustos, pois a tristeza deles era muito grande.) 46 Então lhes disse:
—Por que vocês estão dormindo? Levantem-se e orem para que não caiam em tentação!
Jesus é preso
(Mt 26.47-56; Mc 14.43-50; Jo 18.3-11)
47 Jesus ainda estava falando quando uma multidão apareceu, e Judas, um dos doze discípulos os guiava. Ele se aproximou de Jesus para beijá-lo no rosto, 48 mas Jesus lhe disse:
—Você vai trair o Filho do Homem com um beijo no rosto, Judas?
49 Quando os discípulos que estavam ao redor de Jesus viram o que ia acontecer, perguntaram:
—Senhor, devemos pegar nossas espadas e atacar?
50 E um deles atacou o servo do sumo sacerdote e lhe cortou a orelha direita. 51 Jesus, então, lhes respondeu:
—Parem com isso!
Aí ele tocou na orelha do servo e a curou. 52 Depois, Jesus disse aos líderes dos sacerdotes, aos chefes dos guardas do templo e aos líderes que tinham ido prendê-lo:
—Por que vocês vieram com espadas e cacetes para me prender, como se eu fosse um ladrão? 53 Eu estive com vocês todos os dias no templo, e ninguém pôs as mãos em mim! Mas esta é a hora de vocês: a hora de reinar a escuridão.
Pedro nega conhecer Jesus
(Mt 26.57-58,69-75; Mc 14.53-54,66-72; Jo 18.12-18,25-27)
54 Eles o prenderam e o levaram para a casa do sumo sacerdote. Pedro os seguia de longe. 55 Eles acenderam uma fogueira no meio do pátio e se sentaram juntos ao redor dela. Pedro estava no meio deles. 56 Uma das mulheres que trabalhava ali o viu sentado junto ao fogo e, olhando bem para ele, disse:
—Este homem também estava com ele!
57 Mas ele negou, dizendo:
—Eu nem o conheço, mulher!
58 Pouco depois, outra pessoa o viu e disse:
—Você também é um deles!
Mas Pedro disse:
—Não sou, homem!
59 Mais ou menos uma hora depois, uma outra pessoa começou a insistir, dizendo:
—Sem dúvida que este homem também andava com ele, pois também é galileu!
60 Pedro respondeu:
—Eu não sei do que você está falando, homem!
E naquele momento, enquanto Pedro ainda falava, um galo cantou. 61 Então o Senhor se virou e olhou para Pedro e este se lembrou das palavras do Senhor e de como ele tinha dito: “Antes que o galo cante hoje, você negará três vezes que me conhece”. 62 Pedro, então, saiu de lá e chorou amargamente.
Os guardas zombam de Jesus
(Mt 26.67-68; Mc 14.65)
63 Os homens que estavam tomando conta de Jesus começaram a zombar dele e também a bater nele. 64 Taparam os olhos dele e começaram a interrogá-lo, dizendo:
—Prove para nós que você é um profeta adivinhando quem bateu em você.
65 E disseram muitas outras coisas para insultá-lo.
Jesus diante do Conselho Superior
(Mt 26.59-66; Mc 14.55-64; Jo 18.19-24)
66 Quando amanheceu, houve uma reunião entre os líderes do povo, os líderes dos sacerdotes e os professores da lei. Depois mandaram levar a Jesus ao Conselho Superior deles. 67 Então, disseram a ele:
—Se você é o Cristo, diga-nos!
Jesus respondeu:
—Mesmo que eu lhes diga, vocês não acreditarão em mim. 68 E se eu lhes fizer uma pergunta, vocês não responderão. 69 Mas, de agora em diante, o Filho do Homem estará sentado ao lado direito do Deus Todo-Poderoso.
70 E todos perguntaram:
—Então, você é mesmo o Filho de Deus?
E Jesus lhes respondeu:
—Vocês dizem que eu o sou e eu não vou negá-lo.
71 Então eles disseram:
—Por que é que precisamos de mais testemunhas? Nós já não o ouvimos confessar com sua própria boca?

New King James Version
The Plot to Kill Jesus(A)
22 Now (B)the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called Passover. 2 And (C)the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill Him, for they feared the people.
3 (D)Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the (E)twelve. 4 So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them. 5 And they were glad, and (F)agreed to give him money. 6 So he promised and sought opportunity to (G)betray Him to them in the absence of the multitude.
Jesus and His Disciples Prepare the Passover
7 (H)Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover must be [a]killed. 8 And He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”
9 So they said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare?”
10 And He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house which he enters. 11 Then you shall 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 Then he will show you a large, furnished upper room; there make ready.”
13 So they went and (I)found it just as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper
14 (J)When the hour had come, He sat down, and the [b]twelve apostles with Him. 15 Then He said to them, “With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it (K)until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves; 18 for (L)I say to you, [c]I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
19 (M)And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My (N)body which is given for you; (O)do this in remembrance of Me.”
20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, (P)“This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you. 21 (Q)But behold, the hand of My betrayer is with Me on the table. 22 (R)And truly the Son of Man goes (S)as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”
23 (T)Then they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.
The Disciples Argue About Greatness
24 (U)Now there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest. 25 (V)And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’ 26 (W)But not so among you; on the contrary, (X)he who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves. 27 (Y)For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet (Z)I am among you as the One who serves.
28 “But you are those who have continued with Me in (AA)My trials. 29 And (AB)I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me, 30 that (AC)you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, (AD)and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(AE)
31 [d]And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, (AF)Satan has asked for you, that he may (AG)sift you as wheat. 32 But (AH)I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, (AI)strengthen your brethren.”
33 But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.”
34 (AJ)Then He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me.”
Supplies for the Road
35 (AK)And He said to them, “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?”
So they said, “Nothing.”
36 Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. 37 For I say to you that this which is written must still be [e]accomplished in Me: (AL)‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For the things concerning Me have an end.”
38 So they said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.”
And He said to them, “It is enough.”
The Prayer in the Garden(AM)
39 (AN)Coming out, (AO)He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him. 40 (AP)When He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
41 (AQ)And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless (AR)not My will, but Yours, be done.” 43 [f]Then (AS)an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. 44 (AT)And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45 When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow. 46 Then He said to them, “Why (AU)do you sleep? Rise and (AV)pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane(AW)
47 And while He was still speaking, (AX)behold, a multitude; and he who was called (AY)Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. 48 But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a (AZ)kiss?”
49 When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” 50 And (BA)one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answered and said, “Permit even this.” And He touched his ear and healed him.
52 (BB)Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, “Have you come out, as against a (BC)robber, with swords and clubs? 53 When I was with you daily in the (BD)temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your (BE)hour, and the power of darkness.”
Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly(BF)
54 (BG)Having arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest’s house. (BH)But Peter followed at a distance. 55 (BI)Now when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them. 56 And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, “This man was also with Him.”
57 But he denied [g]Him, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”
58 (BJ)And after a little while another saw him and said, “You also are of them.”
But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”
59 (BK)Then after about an hour had passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a (BL)Galilean.”
60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying!”
Immediately, while he was still speaking, [h]the rooster crowed. 61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then (BM)Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, (BN)“Before the rooster [i]crows, you will deny Me three times.” 62 So Peter went out and wept bitterly.
Jesus Mocked and Beaten(BO)
63 (BP)Now the men who held Jesus mocked Him and (BQ)beat Him. 64 [j]And having blindfolded Him, they (BR)struck Him on the face and asked Him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck You?” 65 And many other things they blasphemously spoke against Him.
Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin(BS)
66 (BT)As soon as it was day, (BU)the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him into their council, saying, 67 (BV)“If You are the Christ, tell us.”
But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will (BW)by no means believe. 68 And if I [k]also ask you, you will by no means answer [l]Me or let Me go. 69 (BX)Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.”
70 Then they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?”
So He said to them, (BY)“You rightly say that I am.”
71 (BZ)And they said, “What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth.”

English Standard Version
The Plot to Kill Jesus
22 (A)Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called (B)the Passover. 2 And the chief priests and the scribes (C)were seeking how to put him to death, for they feared the people.
Judas to Betray Jesus
3 (D)Then (E)Satan entered into (F)Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve. 4 He went away and conferred with the chief priests and (G)officers how he might betray him to them. 5 And they were glad, and agreed to give him money. 6 So he consented and sought an opportunity to (H)betray him to them in the absence of a crowd.
The Passover with the Disciples
7 (I)Then came (J)the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 So Jesus[a] sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it.” 9 They said to him, “Where will you have us prepare it?” 10 He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters 11 and tell the master of the house, (K)‘The Teacher says to you, Where is (L)the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 And he will show you (M)a large upper room furnished; prepare it there.” 13 And they went and found it (N)just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
Institution of the Lord's Supper
14 (O)And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. 15 And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you I will not eat it[b] (P)until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” 17 And he took a cup, and (Q)when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves. 18 (R)For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine (S)until the kingdom of God comes.” 19 (T)And he took bread, and (U)when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, (V)“This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, (W)“This cup that is poured out for you is (X)the new (Y)covenant in my blood.[c] 21 (Z)But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is (AA)with me on the table. 22 For the Son of Man goes (AB)as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!” 23 And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.
Who Is the Greatest?
24 (AC)A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. 25 (AD)And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles (AE)exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. 26 (AF)But not so with you. Rather, let (AG)the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. 27 For who is the greater, (AH)one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But (AI)I am among you as the one who serves.
28 “You are those who have stayed with me (AJ)in my trials, 29 and (AK)I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, 30 (AL)that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and (AM)sit on thrones judging (AN)the twelve tribes of Israel.
Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial
31 “Simon, Simon, behold, (AO)Satan demanded to have you,[d] (AP)that he might sift you like wheat, 32 but (AQ)I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, (AR)strengthen your brothers.” 33 Peter[e] said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both (AS)to prison and (AT)to death.” 34 (AU)Jesus[f] said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.”
Scripture Must Be Fulfilled in Jesus
35 And he said to them, (AV)“When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” 36 He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. 37 For I tell you that (AW)this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: (AX)‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For (AY)what is written about me has its fulfillment.” 38 And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two (AZ)swords.” And he said to them, (BA)“It is enough.”
Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives
39 (BB)And he came out and went, (BC)as was his custom, to (BD)the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. 40 (BE)And when he came to (BF)the place, he said to them, (BG)“Pray that you may not (BH)enter into temptation.” 41 And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and (BI)knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, (BJ)“Father, if you are willing, remove (BK)this cup from me. (BL)Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” 43 And there appeared to him (BM)an angel from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And (BN)being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.[g] 45 And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and (BO)pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus
47 (BP)While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called (BQ)Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him, 48 but Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” 49 And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike (BR)with the sword?” 50 And one of them struck the servant[h] of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him. 52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests and (BS)officers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs? 53 When (BT)I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is (BU)your hour, and (BV)the power of darkness.”
Peter Denies Jesus
54 (BW)Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest's house, (BX)and Peter was following at a distance. 55 (BY)And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of (BZ)the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. 56 Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, “This man also was with him.” 57 But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.” 58 And a little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.” 59 And after an interval of about an hour still another (CA)insisted, saying, “Certainly this man also was with him, for he too is a Galilean.” 60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 And the Lord turned and (CB)looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, (CC)“Before the rooster crows today, you will (CD)deny me three times.” 62 And he went out and wept bitterly.
Jesus Is Mocked
63 (CE)Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking him as they beat him. 64 (CF)They also blindfolded him and kept asking him, (CG)“Prophesy! (CH)Who is it that struck you?” 65 And they said many other things against him, (CI)blaspheming him.
Jesus Before the Council
66 (CJ)When day came, (CK)the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. And they led him away to their (CL)council, and they (CM)said, 67 (CN)“If you are (CO)the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe, 68 and if I ask you, you will not answer. 69 But from now on the Son of Man shall be seated (CP)at the right hand of the power of God.” 70 So they all said, “Are you (CQ)the Son of God, then?” And he said to them, (CR)“You say that I am.” 71 Then they said, “What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips.”
