Preparing the Passover

22 (A)Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the (B)Passover, was approaching. 2 And the chief priests and the scribes (C)were trying to find [a]a way to put Him to death, since they were afraid of the people.

3 (D)And (E)Satan entered Judas, the one called Iscariot, [b]who belonged to the number of the twelve. 4 And he left and discussed with the chief priests and (F)officers how he was to betray Him to them. 5 And they were delighted, and agreed to give him money. 6 And so he consented, and began looking for a good opportunity to betray Him to them [c]away from the crowd.

7 (G)Now the first day of Unleavened Bread came, on which (H)the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 And so Jesus sent (I)Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.” 9 They said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare it?” 10 And He said to them, “When you have entered the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into the house that he enters. 11 And you shall say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’ 12 And he will show you a large, furnished upstairs room; prepare it there.” 13 And they left and found everything just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

The Lord’s Supper

14 (J)When the hour came, He reclined at the table, and (K)the apostles with Him. 15 And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I say to you, I shall not eat it again (L)until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” 17 (M)And when He had taken a cup and (N)given thanks, He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves; 18 for (O)I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.” 19 And when He had taken some bread and (P)given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, which is being given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 20 And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup, which is (Q)poured out for you, is the (R)new covenant in My blood. 21 (S)But behold, the hand of the one betraying Me is with [d]Mine on the table. 22 For indeed, the Son of Man is going (T)as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!” 23 And they began to debate among themselves which one of them it was who was going to do this.

Who Is Greatest

24 And (U)a dispute also developed among them as to which one of them was regarded as being the greatest. 25 (V)And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles domineer over them; and those who have authority over them are called ‘Benefactors.’ 26 But it is not this way for you; (W)rather, the one who is the greatest among you must become like (X)the youngest, and the leader like the servant. 27 For (Y)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 (Z)I am among you as the one who serves.

28 “You are the ones who have stood by Me in My (AA)trials; 29 and just as My Father has granted Me a (AB)kingdom, I grant you 30 that you may (AC)eat and drink at My table in My (AD)kingdom, and (AE)you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31 “Simon, Simon, behold, (AF)Satan has [e]demanded to (AG)sift you men like wheat; 32 but I (AH)have prayed for [f]you, that [g]your faith will not fail; and [h]you, when you have [i]turned back, (AI)strengthen your brothers.” 33 (AJ)But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death!” 34 But He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”

35 And He said to them, “(AK)When I sent you out without money belt and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They said, “No, nothing.” 36 And He said to them, “But now, [j]whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and [k]whoever has no sword is to sell his [l]cloak and buy one. 37 For I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me: ‘(AL)And He was counted with wrongdoers’; for (AM)that which refers to Me has its [m]fulfillment.” 38 They said, “Lord, look, here are two (AN)swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.”

The Garden of Gethsemane

39 (AO)And He came out and went, (AP)as was His habit, to (AQ)the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed Him. 40 (AR)Now when He arrived at the place, He said to them, “(AS)Pray that you do not come into temptation.” 41 And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and He (AT)knelt down and began to pray, 42 saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this (AU)cup from Me; (AV)yet not My will, but Yours be done.” 43 [[n]Now an (AW)angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him. 44 And (AX)being in agony, He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground]. 45 When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow, 46 and He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and (AY)pray that you do not come into temptation.”

Jesus Betrayed by Judas

47 (AZ)While He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading the way for them; and he approached Jesus to kiss Him. 48 But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” 49 When those who were around Him saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the (BA)sword?” 50 And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But Jesus responded and said, “[o]Stop! No more of this.” And He touched his ear and healed him. 52 And Jesus said to the chief priests and (BB)officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs (BC)as you would against a man inciting a revolt? 53 While I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but [p]this hour and the power of darkness are yours.”

Jesus’ Arrest

54 (BD)Now they arrested Him and led Him away, and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but (BE)Peter was following at a distance. 55 (BF)After they kindled a fire in the middle of (BG)the courtyard and sat down together, Peter was sitting among them. 56 And a slave woman, seeing him as he sat in the firelight, and staring at him, said, “This man was with Him as well.” 57 But he denied it, saying, “I do not know Him, woman!” 58 And a little later, (BH)another person saw him and said, “You are one of them too!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!” 59 And after about an hour had passed, some other man began to insist, saying, “Certainly this man also was with Him, (BI)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, a rooster crowed. 61 And then (BJ)the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, “(BK)Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.” 62 And he went out and wept bitterly.

63 (BL)The men who were holding [q]Jesus in custody began mocking Him and beating Him, 64 and they blindfolded Him and repeatedly asked Him, saying, “(BM)Prophesy, who is the one who hit You?” 65 And they were saying many other things against Him, (BN)blaspheming.

Jesus before the Sanhedrin

66 (BO)When it was day, (BP)the [r]Council of elders of the people assembled, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him away to their (BQ)council chamber, saying, 67 “(BR)If You are the [s]Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe; 68 and if I ask a question, you will not answer. 69 (BS)But from now on (BT)the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” 70 And they all said, “So You are (BU)the Son of God?” And He said to them, “(BV)You say correctly that I am.” 71 And then they said, “What further need do we have of testimony? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth!”

Luke 22
Disciples’ Literal New Testament

The Priests Plot How To Kill Jesus

22 Now the Feast of Unleavened-Bread, the one being called Passover, was drawing-near. 2 And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking as to how they might kill[a] Him, for they were fearing the people.

Judas Betrays Jesus To The Priests

3 And Satan entered into Judas, the one being called “Iscariot”, being one of the number of the twelve. 4 And having gone, he talked-with the chief priests and [temple] captains as to how he might hand Him over to them. 5 And they rejoiced[b] and agreed to give him money. 6 And he consented, and was seeking a favorable-opportunity that he might hand Him over without[c] a crowd with them.

Jesus Celebrates Passover With The Twelve

7 And the [first] day of the Feast of Unleavened-Bread came— on which it-was-necessary that the Passover [lamb] be sacrificed. 8 And He sent-forth Peter and John, having said, “Having gone, prepare the Passover [meal] for us in order that we may eat it ”. 9 And the ones said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare it?” 10 And the One said to them, “Behold— you having entered into the city, a man will meet you carrying a jar of water. Follow him to the house into which he proceeds. 11 And 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 [meal] with My disciples?”’ 12 And that one will show you a large upstairs-room having been spread [with furnishings]. Prepare it there”. 13 And having gone, they found it just as He had told them. And they prepared the Passover [meal].

The Bread And The Wine Are Given a New Meaning

14 And when the hour came, He fell back [to eat], and the apostles with Him. 15 And He said to them, “I greatly desired to eat this Passover [meal] with you before I suffer. 16 For I say to you that I will by no means eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God”. 17 And having taken a cup[d], having given-thanks, He said “Take this and distribute it to yourselves. 18 For I say to you that I will by no means drink from the fruit of the grapevine from now on until which time the kingdom of God comes”. 19 And having taken bread, having given-thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying “This is My body, the one being given for you. Be doing this for My remembrance”. 20 And similarly the cup after the dining, saying “This cup is the new covenant in My blood— the blood being poured-out for you. 21 Yet behold— the hand of the one handing Me over is with Mine on the table! 22 Because the Son of Man is proceeding according-to the thing having been determined[e]— nevertheless, woe to that man by whom He is being handed-over!” 23 And they began to discuss with themselves as to which of them then the one going to do this thing might be.

The Disciples Argue Over Who Is Greatest. The Greatest Is The Servant of All

24 And a contention also took place among them as to which of them seems[f] to be greater[g]. 25 And the One said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles are lording-over[h] them. And the ones having-authority over them are calling-themselves ‘Benefactors[i]’. 26 But you shall not be so. But let the greater[j] one among you be like the younger one; and the one leading like the one serving. 27 For who is greater, the one reclining-back [to eat] or the one serving? Is it not the one reclining-back? But I am in your midst as the One serving! 28 But you are the ones having continued with Me in My trials. 29 And I am conferring[k] you a kingdom, just as My Father conferred Me 30 so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom. And you will sit on thrones judging[l] the twelve tribes of Israel.

Peter Will Deny Jesus

31 “Simon, Simon. Behold— Satan asked-for[m] you[n] all that he might sift[o] you like wheat. 32 But I prayed for you[p], that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned-back, establish[q] your brothers”. 33 But the one said to Him, “Lord, I am prepared to go with You even[r] to prison and to death!” 34 And the One said, “I say to you, Peter, a rooster will not crow today until you deny three-times that you know Me”.

Jesus Tells The Disciples To Prepare For a New Assignment

35 And He said to them, “When I sent you out without money-bag and [traveler’s] bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” And the ones said, “Nothing”. 36 And He said to them, “But now[s] let the one having a money-bag take it. Likewise also a [traveler’s] bag. And let the one not having one sell his cloak and buy a sword. 37 For I say to you that this [saying] having been written [in Isa 53:12] must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was counted[t] with lawless ones’. For indeed the thing concerning Me has a fulfillment[u]”. 38 And the ones said, “Lord, behold— here are two swords”. And the One said to them, “It is enough”.

Jesus Waits And Prays On The Mount of Olives

39 And having gone out, He went in accordance with His custom to the Mount of Olives. And the disciples also, they followed Him. 40 And having come-to-be at the place, He said to them, “Be praying that you may not enter into temptation”. 41 And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw. And having put down His knees, He was praying, 42 saying “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me. Yet let not My will, but Yours be done”. 43 And[v] an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him. 44 And having come-to-be in agony, He was praying more-fervently. And His sweat became like[w] drops of blood going down upon the ground. 45 And having arisen from prayer, having come to the disciples, He found them being asleep because of grief. 46 And He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Having stood-up, be praying that[x] you may not enter into temptation”.

Jesus Is Betrayed With a Kiss, And Arrested

47 While He was still speaking, behold— a crowd. And the one being called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding[y] them. And he drew-near to Jesus to kiss Him. 48 And Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you handing-over the Son of Man with a kiss?” 49 And the ones around Him, having seen the thing which will happen, said “Lord, shall we strike with a sword?” 50 And a certain one of them struck the slave of the high priest and took-off his right ear. 51 But having responded, Jesus said, “Allow[z] up to this”. And having touched his ear, He healed him. 52 And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders having come against Him, “Did you come out with swords and clubs as-if against a robber? 53 Daily while I was being with you in the temple, you did not stretch-out your hands against Me. But this is your hour, and the authority of darkness”.

Jesus Is Led Into The House of The High Priest; Peter Denies Him Three Times

54 And having arrested Him, they led Him, and brought Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter was following at-a-distance. 55 And they having kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and having sat-down-together, Peter was sitting amidst them. 56 And a certain servant-girl, having seen him sitting toward the light, and having looked-intently at him, said “This one also was with Him”. 57 But the one denied it, saying “I do not know Him, woman”. 58 And after a short time, another man having seen him said, “You also are one of them”. But Peter said, “Man, I am not!” 59 And about one hour having passed[aa], a certain other man was insisting, saying “In accordance with truth, this one also was with Him, for he also is a Galilean”. 60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying”. And at-once, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. 61 And having turned, the Lord looked-at Peter. And Peter was reminded of the word of the Lord— how He said to him that “Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three-times”. 62 And having gone outside, he wept bitterly. 63 And the men holding Him were mocking Him while beating Him. 64 And having covered Him, they were asking Him, saying “Prophesy— who is the one having hit You?” 65 And blaspheming, they were saying many other things against Him.

Jesus Is Led Before The Sanhedrin. He Tells Them He Is The Son of God

66 And when it became day, the Council-of-elders of the people was gathered together— both chief priests and scribes. And they led Him away to their council[ab] [chamber], 67 saying “If You are the Christ, tell us”. But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will by no means believe. 68 And if I question you, you will by no means answer. 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be sitting[ac] on the right side of the power of God”. 70 And they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?” And the One said to them, “You are saying[ad] that I am”. 71 And the ones said, “What further need do we have of testimony? For we ourselves heard it from His mouth”.
