Luke 22:47-65

New American Standard Bible

Jesus Betrayed by Judas

^47 (A)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 ^(B)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, “^[a]Stop! No more of this.” And He touched his ear and healed him. ⁵² And Jesus said to the chief priests and ^(C)officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs ^(D)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 ^[b]this hour and the power of darkness are yours.”

Jesus’ Arrest

^54 (E)Now they arrested Him and led Him away, and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but ^(F)Peter was following at a distance. ^55 (G)After they kindled a fire in the middle of ^(H)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, ^(I)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, ^(J)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 ^(K)the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, “^(L)Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.” ⁶² And he went out and wept bitterly.

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