Neue Genfer Übersetzung

Jesu Leiden und Sterben und seine Auferstehung (Kapitel 22 bis 24)

Judas wird zum Verräter

22 Das Fest der ungesäuerten Brote, das Passafest, stand kurz bevor. 2 Die führenden Priester und die Schriftgelehrten suchten nach einer Möglichkeit, Jesus zu beseitigen, ´ohne dabei Aufsehen zu erregen`; denn sie hatten Angst vor dem Volk.

3 Da ergriff der Satan Besitz von Judas, der auch Iskariot genannt wurde und einer der zwölf Jünger war. 4 Judas ging zu den führenden Priestern und den Offizieren ´der Tempelwache` und machte ihnen einen Vorschlag, wie sie Jesus mit seiner Hilfe in ihre Gewalt bringen konnten[a]. 5 Da waren sie erfreut und beschlossen[b], ihm ´zur Belohnung` Geld zu geben. 6 Judas war einverstanden und suchte von da an nach einer günstigen Gelegenheit, Jesus an sie zu verraten, ohne dass das Volk etwas merkte[c].

Vorbereitung des Passamahls

7 So kam nun der ´erste` Tag des Festes der ungesäuerten Brote, der Tag, der für das Schlachten des Passalamms bestimmt war. 8 Jesus schickte Petrus und Johannes in die Stadt. »Geht voraus und bereitet das Passamahl für uns vor!«, sagte er. 9 »Wo sollen wir es vorbereiten?«, fragten sie. 10 Er antwortete: »Wenn ihr in die Stadt kommt, werdet ihr einem Mann begegnen, der einen Wasserkrug trägt.[d] Folgt ihm in das Haus, in das er hineingeht, 11 und sagt zu dem Hausherrn: ›Der Meister lässt dich fragen: Wo ist der Raum, in dem ich mit meinen Jüngern das Passamahl feiern kann?‹ 12 Er wird euch ein großes Zimmer im Obergeschoss zeigen, das ´mit Sitzpolstern[e]` ausgestattet ist. Bereitet dort das Mahl vor.« 13 Die beiden Jünger machten sich auf den Weg. Sie fanden alles so, wie Jesus es ihnen gesagt hatte, und bereiteten das Passamahl vor.

Das Passamahl. Einsetzung des Abendmahls

14 Als es Zeit war, mit der Feier zu beginnen, setzte sich Jesus mit den Aposteln zu Tisch. 15 Er sagte: »Wie sehr habe ich mich danach gesehnt, dieses Passamahl mit euch zu feiern, bevor ich leiden muss. 16 Denn ich sage euch: Ich werde das Passamahl nicht mehr feiern, bis sich im Reich Gottes seine volle Bedeutung erfüllt[f].«

17 Dann nahm er[g] einen[h] Becher ´mit Wein`, dankte Gott dafür[i] und sagte: »Nehmt diesen Becher und trinkt alle daraus[j]! 18 Denn ich sage euch: Von jetzt an werde ich nicht mehr vom Saft der Reben trinken, bis das Reich Gottes gekommen ist.«

19 Dann nahm er Brot[k], dankte Gott dafür, brach es in Stücke und gab es den Jüngern mit den Worten: »Das ist mein Leib, der für euch hingegeben wird. Tut das, um euch an mich zu erinnern!«

20 Ebenso nahm er, nachdem sie gegessen hatten, einen Becher ´mit Wein` und gab ihn den Jüngern mit den Worten: »Dieser Becher ist der neue Bund, besiegelt mit meinem Blut[l], das für euch vergossen wird.«

Der Verräter

21 »Doch seht, der, der mich verrät, sitzt[m] hier mit mir am Tisch. 22 Der Menschensohn[n] geht zwar den Weg, der ihm bestimmt ist; aber wehe dem Menschen, der ihn verraten wird!« 23 Da fingen die Jünger an, einander zu fragen, wer von ihnen es wohl sei, der so etwas tun werde.

Herrschen oder dienen?

24 Unter den Jüngern kam es auch zu einem Streit über die Frage, wer von ihnen als der Größte zu gelten habe. 25 Da sagte Jesus zu ihnen: »Die Könige führen sich als Herren über ihre Völker auf, und die Mächtigen lassen sich Wohltäter nennen. 26 Bei euch soll es nicht so sein. Im Gegenteil: Der Größte unter euch soll sich auf eine Stufe stellen mit dem Geringsten, und wer in führender Stellung ist, soll sein wie der, der dient. 27 Wer ist denn höhergestellt[o] – der, der am Tisch sitzt, oder der, der ihn bedient? Der, der am Tisch sitzt, nicht wahr? Ich aber bin unter euch als der, der dient! 28 Und ihr – ihr habt in allem, was ich durchgemacht habe,[p] treu bei mir ausgehalten. 29 Darum gebe ich euch Anteil an der Herrschaft, die[q] mein Vater mir übertragen hat. 30 Ihr sollt in meinem Reich an meinem Tisch essen und trinken[r], und ihr werdet auf Thronen sitzen und die zwölf Stämme Israels richten.«

Jesus kündigt an, dass Petrus ihn verleugnen wird

31 »Simon, Simon, der Satan hat sich erbeten, euch schütteln zu dürfen wie den Weizen im Sieb. 32 Ich aber habe für dich gebetet, dass du deinen Glauben nicht verlierst. Wenn du dann umgekehrt ´und zurechtgekommen` bist, stärke ´den Glauben` deiner Brüder[s]!«

33 Da sagte Petrus zu ihm: »Herr, ich bin bereit, mit dir sogar ins Gefängnis und in den Tod zu gehen.« 34 Doch Jesus erwiderte: »Ich sage dir, Petrus: Noch bevor heute ´Nacht` der Hahn kräht, wirst du mich dreimal verleugnen und behaupten, mich nicht zu kennen.«

Anweisungen für die Stunde der letzten Herausforderung

35 Dann fragte Jesus die Jünger: »Als ich euch ohne Geldbeutel, ohne Vorratstasche und ohne Sandalen[t] aussandte, hat euch da etwas gefehlt?« – »Nein, gar nichts«, antworteten sie. 36 Jesus fuhr fort: »Von jetzt an gilt Folgendes: Wer einen Geldbeutel oder eine Vorratstasche besitzt, soll sie mit sich nehmen, und wer nichts als seinen Mantel besitzt, soll diesen verkaufen[u] und sich dafür ein Schwert kaufen. 37 Denn in der Schrift heißt es: ›Er wurde zu den Gottlosen gerechnet[v]‹, und ich sage euch: Dieses Wort muss sich an mir erfüllen. In der Tat, mein Weg ist bald vollendet.[w]« 38 Die Jünger sagten: »Herr, hier sind zwei Schwerter.« Doch Jesus erwiderte: »Genug davon![x]«

Die letzte Nacht am Ölberg

39 Dann verließ Jesus die Stadt und ging wie gewohnt zum Ölberg; seine Jünger begleiteten ihn. 40 Als er dort[y] angekommen war, sagte er zu ihnen: »Betet darum, dass[z] ihr nicht in Versuchung geratet!« 41 Hierauf trennte er sich von ihnen. Etwa einen Steinwurf weit entfernt kniete er nieder und betete: 42 »Vater, wenn du willst, lass diesen bitteren Kelch an mir vorübergehen. Aber nicht mein Wille soll geschehen, sondern deiner.« 43 Da erschien ihm ein Engel vom Himmel und stärkte ihn. 44 Der Kampf[aa] wurde so heftig, und Jesus betete mit solcher Anspannung, dass sein Schweiß wie Blut auf die Erde tropfte.[ab] 45 Als er vom Gebet aufstand und zu den Jüngern zurückkam, waren sie vor Kummer eingeschlafen. 46 »Wie könnt ihr nur schlafen?«, sagte er zu ihnen. »Steht auf und betet, damit[ac] ihr nicht in Versuchung geratet!«

Die Gefangennahme Jesu

47 Noch während Jesus redete, tauchte plötzlich eine Schar Männer auf, an ihrer Spitze Judas[ad], einer der Zwölf. Er ging auf Jesus zu, um ihn mit einem Kuss zu begrüßen[ae]. 48 Jesus aber sagte zu ihm: »Judas, mit einem Kuss verrätst du den Menschensohn?«

49 Als die, die bei Jesus waren, begriffen, in welcher Absicht die Männer gekommen waren[af], fragten sie: »Herr, sollen wir zum Schwert greifen?« 50 Und einer von ihnen ging auch gleich auf den Diener des Hohenpriesters los und schlug ihm das rechte Ohr ab. 51 Aber Jesus rief: »Halt! Hört auf!«[ag] Und er berührte das Ohr des Mannes und heilte ihn.

52 Dann wandte er sich zu den führenden Priestern, den Offizieren der Tempelwache und den Ältesten, die gegen ihn angerückt waren, und sagte: »Mit Schwertern und Knüppeln seid ihr ausgezogen, als wäre ich ein Verbrecher[ah]. 53 Dabei war ich doch Tag für Tag bei euch im Tempel, und ihr habt nichts gegen mich unternommen. Aber jetzt ist eure Stunde gekommen, jetzt übt die Finsternis ihre Macht aus.«

Petrus verleugnet Jesus

54 Die Männer packten Jesus, führten ihn ab und brachten ihn in den Palast[ai] des Hohenpriesters. Petrus folgte ihnen in einiger Entfernung. 55 In der Mitte des Innenhofes hatte man ein Feuer angezündet; Petrus setzte sich zu den Leuten, die dort beieinander saßen. 56 Eine Dienerin sah ihn im Schein des Feuers dasitzen, musterte ihn aufmerksam und meinte dann: »Der hier war auch mit ihm zusammen!« 57 Aber Petrus stritt es ab: »Ich[aj] kenne diesen Mann nicht!«

58 Es ging nicht lange, da wurde jemand anders auf ihn aufmerksam und sagte: »Du bist auch einer von denen!« Petrus widersprach: »Das stimmt nicht![ak]«

59 Etwa eine Stunde später erklärte wieder jemand anders mit Bestimmtheit: »Natürlich war der auch mit ihm zusammen; er ist doch auch ein Galiläer!« 60 Aber Petrus entgegnete: »Ich[al] weiß nicht, wovon du sprichst.«

Im gleichen Augenblick – noch während er das sagte – krähte ein Hahn. 61 Da wandte sich der Herr um und blickte Petrus an. Petrus erinnerte sich daran, wie der Herr zu ihm gesagt hatte: »Bevor der Hahn heute ´Nacht` kräht, wirst du mich dreimal verleugnen.« 62 Und er ging hinaus und weinte in bitterer Verzweiflung[am].

Jesus wird verspottet und geschlagen

63 Die Männer, die Jesus bewachten, trieben ihren Spott mit ihm und schlugen ihn. 64 Sie verhüllten sein Gesicht und sagten zu ihm: »Du bist doch ein Prophet! Sag uns[an]: Wer hat dich geschlagen?« 65 Und noch viele andere Schmähungen musste er über sich ergehen lassen.

Jesus vor dem Hohen Rat

66 Als es Tag wurde, versammelten sich die Ältestenschaft des ´jüdischen` Volkes sowie die führenden Priester und die Schriftgelehrten[ao] zu einer Sitzung des Hohen Rates und ließen Jesus vorführen. 67 »Bist du der Messias[ap], dann sag es uns!«, forderten sie ihn auf. Er entgegnete: »Wenn ich es euch sage, glaubt ihr es mir ja doch nicht, 68 und wenn ich euch frage, antwortet ihr nicht. 69 Aber von jetzt an wird der Menschensohn an der rechten Seite des allmächtigen Gottes sitzen[aq].« 70 Da riefen sie alle: »Dann bist du also der Sohn Gottes?« Er erwiderte: »Ihr sagt selbst, dass ich es bin.[ar]« 71 Darauf erklärten sie: »Wozu brauchen wir noch Zeugenaussagen? Wir haben es ja selbst gehört, und dazu noch aus seinem eigenen Mund.«

Luke 22
New International Version

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(A)

22 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,(B) 2 and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus,(C) for they were afraid of the people. 3 Then Satan(D) entered Judas, called Iscariot,(E) one of the Twelve. 4 And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard(F) and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. 5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.(G) 6 He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.

The Last Supper(H)(I)(J)(K)(L)

7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.(M) 8 Jesus sent Peter and John,(N) saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

9 “Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked.

10 He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.”

13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them.(O) So they prepared the Passover.

14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles(P) reclined at the table.(Q) 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.(R) 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”(S)

17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it,(T) and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant(U) in my blood, which is poured out for you.[a] 21 But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table.(V) 22 The Son of Man(W) will go as it has been decreed.(X) But woe to that man who betrays him!” 23 They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.

24 A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.(Y) 25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. 26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest,(Z) and the one who rules like the one who serves.(AA) 27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.(AB) 28 You are those who have stood by me in my trials. 29 And I confer on you a kingdom,(AC) just as my Father conferred one on me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom(AD) and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(AE)

31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked(AF) to sift all of you as wheat.(AG) 32 But I have prayed for you,(AH) Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”(AI)

33 But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”(AJ)

34 Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”

35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals,(AK) did you lack anything?”

“Nothing,” they answered.

36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37 It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’[b];(AL) and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.”

38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.”

“That’s enough!” he replied.

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives(AM)

39 Jesus went out as usual(AN) to the Mount of Olives,(AO) and his disciples followed him. 40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.”(AP) 41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down(AQ) and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup(AR) from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”(AS) 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.(AT) 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.[c]

45 When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”(AU)

Jesus Arrested(AV)

47 While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him, 48 but Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49 When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”(AW) 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

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

52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard,(AX) and the elders, who had come for him, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs? 53 Every day I was with you in the temple courts,(AY) and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour(AZ)—when darkness reigns.”(BA)

Peter Disowns Jesus(BB)

54 Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest.(BC) Peter followed at a distance.(BD) 55 And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. 56 A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.”

57 But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said.

58 A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.”

“Man, I am not!” Peter replied.

59 About an hour later another asserted, “Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.”(BE)

60 Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 The Lord(BF) turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.”(BG) 62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.

The Guards Mock Jesus(BH)

63 The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him. 64 They blindfolded him and demanded, “Prophesy! Who hit you?” 65 And they said many other insulting things to him.(BI)

Jesus Before Pilate and Herod(BJ)(BK)(BL)

66 At daybreak the council(BM) of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and the teachers of the law, met together,(BN) and Jesus was led before them. 67 “If you are the Messiah,” they said, “tell us.”

Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe me, 68 and if I asked you, you would not answer.(BO) 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.”(BP)

70 They all asked, “Are you then the Son of God?”(BQ)

He replied, “You say that I am.”(BR)

71 Then they said, “Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own lips.”

The Plot to Kill Jesus

22 Now the festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was near. 2 The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus[a] to death, for they were afraid of the people.

3 Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve; 4 he went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers of the temple police about how he might betray him to them. 5 They were greatly pleased and agreed to give him money. 6 So he consented and began to look for an opportunity to betray him to them when no crowd was present.

The Preparation of the Passover

7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 So Jesus[b] sent Peter and John, saying, ‘Go and prepare the Passover meal for us that we may eat it.’ 9 They asked him, ‘Where do you want us to make preparations for it?’ 10 ‘Listen,’ he said to them, ‘when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house he enters 11 and say to the owner of the house, “The teacher asks you, ‘Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’” 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, already furnished. Make preparations for us there.’ 13 So they went and found everything as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover meal.

The Institution of the Lord’s Supper

14 When the hour came, he took his place at the table, and the apostles with him. 15 He said to them, ‘I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I tell you, I will not eat it[c] until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.’ 17 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, ‘Take this and divide it among yourselves; 18 for I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.’ 19 Then he took a loaf of 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 And he did the same with the cup after supper, saying, ‘This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.[d] 21 But see, the one who betrays me is with me, and his hand is on the table. 22 For the Son of Man is going as it has been determined, but woe to that one by whom he is betrayed!’ 23 Then they began to ask one another which one of them it could be who would do this.

The Dispute about Greatness

24 A dispute also arose among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest. 25 But he said to them, ‘The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors. 26 But not so with you; rather the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like one who serves. 27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

28 ‘You are those who have stood by me in my trials; 29 and I confer on you, just as my Father has conferred on me, a kingdom, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

31 ‘Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has demanded[e] to sift all of you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you that your own faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.’ 33 And he said to him, ‘Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death!’ 34 Jesus[f] said, ‘I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow this day, until you have denied three times that you know me.’

Purse, Bag, and Sword

35 He said to them, ‘When I sent you out without a purse, bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?’ They said, ‘No, not a thing.’ 36 He said to them, ‘But now, the one who has a purse must take it, and likewise a bag. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one. 37 For I tell you, this scripture must be fulfilled in me, “And he was counted among the lawless”; and indeed what is written about me is being fulfilled.’ 38 They said, ‘Lord, look, here are two swords.’ He replied, ‘It is enough.’

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

39 He came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed him. 40 When he reached the place, he said to them, ‘Pray that you may not come into the time of trial.’[g] 41 Then he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed, 42 ‘Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me; yet, not my will but yours be done.’ [[43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength. 44 In his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.]][h] 45 When he got up from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief, 46 and he said to them, ‘Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not come into the time of trial.’[i]

The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

47 While he was still speaking, suddenly a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him; 48 but Jesus said to him, ‘Judas, is it with a kiss that you are betraying the Son of Man?’ 49 When those who were around him saw what was coming, they asked, ‘Lord, should we strike with the sword?’ 50 Then one of them struck the slave 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, the officers of the temple police, and the elders who had come for him, ‘Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a bandit? 53 When I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness!’

Peter Denies Jesus

54 Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest’s house. But Peter was following at a distance. 55 When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them. 56 Then a servant-girl, seeing him in the firelight, stared at him and said, ‘This man also was with him.’ 57 But he denied it, saying, ‘Woman, I do not know him.’ 58 A little later someone else, on seeing him, said, ‘You also are one of them.’ But Peter said, ‘Man, I am not!’ 59 Then about an hour later yet another kept insisting, ‘Surely this man also was with him; for he is a Galilean.’ 60 But Peter said, ‘Man, I do not know what you are talking about!’ At that moment, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed. 61 The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, ‘Before the cock crows today, you will deny me three times.’ 62 And he went out and wept bitterly.

The Mocking and Beating of Jesus

63 Now the men who were holding Jesus began to mock him and beat him; 64 they also blindfolded him and kept asking him, ‘Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?’ 65 They kept heaping many other insults on him.

Jesus before the Council

66 When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, gathered together, and they brought him to their council. 67 They said, ‘If you are the Messiah,[j] tell us.’ He replied, ‘If I tell you, you will not believe; 68 and if I question you, you will not answer. 69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.’ 70 All of them asked, ‘Are you, then, the Son of God?’ He said to them, ‘You say that I am.’ 71 Then they said, ‘What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!’

Luke 22
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.”
