Luke 22
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
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!’

GOD’S WORD Translation
The Plot to Kill Jesus(A)
22 The Festival of Unleavened Bread, called Passover, was near. 2 The chief priests and the experts in Moses’ Teachings were looking for some way to kill Jesus. However, they were afraid of the people.
3 Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve apostles. 4 Judas went to the chief priests and the temple guards and discussed with them how he could betray Jesus. 5 They were pleased and agreed to give him some money. 6 So Judas promised to do it. He kept looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them when there was no crowd.
The Passover(B)
7 The day came during the Festival of Unleavened Bread when the Passover lamb had to be killed. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John and told them, “Go, prepare the Passover lamb for us to eat.”
9 They asked him, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”
10 He told them, “Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a jug of water. Follow him into the house he enters. 11 Tell the owner of the house that the teacher asks, ‘Where is the room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?’ 12 He will take you upstairs and show you a large furnished room. Get things ready there.”
13 The disciples left. They found everything as Jesus had told them and prepared the Passover.
14 When it was time to eat the Passover meal, Jesus and the apostles were at the table. 15 Jesus said to them, “I’ve had a deep desire to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 I can guarantee that I won’t eat it again until it finds its fulfillment in God’s kingdom.” 17 Then he took a cup and spoke a prayer of thanksgiving. He said, “Take this, and share it. 18 I can guarantee that from now on I won’t drink this wine until God’s kingdom comes.”
The Lord’s Supper(C)
19 Then Jesus took bread and spoke a prayer of thanksgiving. He broke the bread, gave it to them, and said, “This is my body, which is given up for you. Do this to remember me.”
20 When supper was over, he did the same with the cup. He said, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new promise [a] made with my blood.”
Jesus Knows Who Will Betray Him(D)
21 “The hand of the one who will betray me is with me on the table. 22 The Son of Man is going to die the way it has been planned for him. But how horrible it will be for that person who betrays him.”
23 So they began to discuss with each other who could do such a thing.
An Argument about Greatness
24 Then a quarrel broke out among the disciples. They argued about who should be considered the greatest.
25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of nations have power over their people, and those in authority call themselves friends of the people. 26 But you’re not going to be that way! Rather, the greatest among you must be like the youngest, and your leader must be like a servant. 27 Who’s the greatest, the person who sits at the table or the servant? Isn’t it really the person who sits at the table? But I’m among you as a servant.
28 “You have stood by me in the troubles that have tested me. 29 So as my Father has given me a kingdom, I’m giving it to you. 30 You will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. You will also sit on thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.”
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(E)
31 ⌞Then the Lord said,⌟ “Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has demanded to have you apostles for himself. He wants to separate you from me as a farmer separates wheat from husks. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. So when you recover, strengthen the other disciples.”
33 But Peter said to him, “Lord, I’m ready to go to prison with you and to die with you.”
34 Jesus replied, “Peter, I can guarantee that the rooster won’t crow tonight until you say three times that you don’t know me.”
35 Then Jesus said to them, “When I sent you out without a wallet, traveling bag, or sandals, you didn’t lack anything, did you?”
“Not a thing!” they answered.
36 Then he said to them, “But now, the person who has a wallet and a traveling bag should take them along. The person who doesn’t have a sword should sell his coat and buy one. 37 I can guarantee that the Scripture passage which says, ‘He was counted with criminals,’ must find its fulfillment in me. Indeed, whatever is written about me will come true.”
38 The disciples said, “Lord, look! Here are two swords!”
Then Jesus said to them, “That’s enough!”
Jesus Prays in the Garden of Gethsemane(F)
39 Jesus went out ⌞of the city⌟ to the Mount of Olives as he usually did. His disciples followed him. 40 When he arrived, he said to them, “Pray that you won’t be tempted.”
41 Then he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed, 42 “Father, if it is your will, take this cup ⌞of suffering⌟ away from me. However, your will must be done, not mine.”
43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength. 44 So he prayed very hard in anguish. His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.[b]
45 When Jesus ended his prayer, he got up and went to the disciples. He found them asleep and overcome with sadness. 46 He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up, and pray that you won’t be tempted.”
Jesus Is Arrested(G)
47 While he was still speaking to the disciples, a crowd arrived. The man called Judas, one of the twelve apostles, was leading them. He came close to Jesus to kiss him.
48 Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you intend to betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49 The men who were with Jesus saw what was going to happen. So they asked him, “Lord, should we use our swords to fight?” 50 One of the disciples cut off the right ear of the chief priest’s servant.
51 But Jesus said, “Stop! That’s enough of this.” Then he touched the servant’s ear and healed him.
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple guards, and leaders who had come for him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a criminal? 53 I was with you in the temple courtyard every day and you didn’t try to arrest me. But this is your time, when darkness rules.”
54 So they arrested Jesus and led him away to the chief priest’s house.
Peter Denies Jesus(H)
Peter followed at a distance.
55 Some men had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard. As they sat together, Peter sat among them. 56 A female servant saw him as he sat facing the glow of the fire. She stared at him and said, “This man was with Jesus.”
57 But Peter denied it by saying, “I don’t know him, woman.”
58 A little later someone else saw Peter and said, “You are one of them.”
But Peter said, “Not me!”
59 About an hour later another person insisted, “It’s obvious that this man was with him. He’s a Galilean!”
60 But Peter said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Just then, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. 61 Then the Lord turned and looked directly at Peter. Peter remembered what the Lord had said: “Before a rooster crows today, you will say three times that you don’t know me.” 62 Then Peter went outside and cried bitterly.
The Trial in Front of the Jewish Council(I)
63 The men who were guarding Jesus made fun of him as they beat him. 64 They blindfolded him and said to him, “Tell us who hit you.” 65 They also insulted him in many other ways.
66 In the morning the council of the people’s leaders, the chief priests and the experts in Moses’ Teachings, gathered together. They brought Jesus in front of their highest court and asked him, 67 “Tell us, are you the Messiah?”
Jesus said to them, “If I tell you, you won’t believe me. 68 And if I ask you, you won’t answer. 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be in the honored position—the one next to God the Father on the heavenly throne.”
70 Then all of them said, “So you’re the Son of God?”
Jesus answered them, “You’re right to say that I am.”
71 Then they said, “Why do we need any more testimony? We’ve heard him say it ourselves.”

Acuerdo para matar a Jesús
22 Estaba próximo el día de la fiesta de los Panes sin levadura que se llama la Pascua.
2 Los principales sacerdotes y los escribas estaban buscando cómo eliminarle, pues temían al pueblo. 3 Entonces Satanás entró en Judas, llamado Iscariote, el cual era uno del número de los doce. 4 Él fue y habló con los principales sacerdotes y con los magistrados acerca de cómo entregarle. 5 Estos se alegraron y acordaron darle dinero. 6 Él estuvo de acuerdo y buscaba la oportunidad para entregarlo sin que la gente lo advirtiera.
Preparativos para la Pascua
7 Llegó el día de los Panes sin levadura, en el cual era necesario sacrificar la víctima pascual. 8 Jesús envió a Pedro y a Juan, diciendo:
—Vayan, prepárennos la Pascua para que comamos.
9 Ellos le preguntaron:
—¿Dónde quieres que la preparemos?
10 Él les dijo:
—He aquí, cuando entren en la ciudad, les saldrá al encuentro un hombre llevando un cántaro de agua. Síganlo hasta la casa a donde entre. 11 Díganle al dueño de la casa: “El Maestro te dice: ‘¿Dónde está la habitación en la que he de comer la Pascua con mis discípulos?’”. 12 Y él les mostrará un gran aposento alto ya dispuesto. Preparen allí.
13 Fueron, pues, y hallaron como les había dicho; y prepararon la Pascua.
La Cena del Señor
14 Cuando llegó la hora, se sentó a la mesa, y con él los apóstoles. 15 Y les dijo:
—¡Cuánto he deseado comer con ustedes esta Pascua antes de padecer! 16 Porque les digo que no comeré más de ella hasta que se cumpla en el reino de Dios.
17 Luego tomó una copa y, habiendo dado gracias, dijo:
—Tomen esto y repártanlo entre ustedes 18 porque les digo que desde ahora[a] no beberé más del fruto de la vid hasta que venga el reino de Dios.
19 Entonces tomó pan y, habiendo dado gracias, lo partió y les dio diciendo:
—Esto es mi cuerpo[b] que por ustedes es dado. Hagan esto en memoria de mí.
20 Asimismo, después de haber cenado, tomó también la copa y dijo:
—Esta copa es el nuevo pacto en mi sangre que por ustedes se derrama.
Jesús anuncia la traición de Judas
21 »No obstante, he aquí la mano del que me entrega está conmigo en la mesa. 22 A la verdad, el Hijo del Hombre va según lo que está determinado, pero ¡ay de aquel hombre por quien es entregado!
23 Entonces ellos comenzaron a preguntarse entre sí cuál de ellos sería el que habría de hacer esto.
Sobre la primacía y el servicio
24 Hubo entre ellos una disputa acerca de quién de ellos parecía ser el más importante. 25 Entonces él les dijo:
—Los reyes de las naciones se enseñorean de ellas, y los que tienen autoridad sobre ellas son llamados bienhechores. 26 Pero entre ustedes no será así. Más bien, el que entre ustedes sea el importante, sea como el más nuevo; y el que es dirigente, como el que sirve. 27 Porque, ¿cuál es el más importante: el que se sienta a la mesa, o el que sirve? ¿No es el que se sienta a la mesa? Sin embargo, yo estoy en medio de ustedes como el que sirve.
28 »Y ustedes son los que han permanecido conmigo en mis pruebas. 29 Yo, pues, dispongo para ustedes un reino, como mi Padre lo dispuso para mí, 30 para que coman y beban en mi mesa en mi reino, y se sienten sobre tronos para juzgar a las doce tribus de Israel.
Jesús predice la negación de Pedro
31 »Simón, Simón, he aquí Satanás me ha pedido para zarandearte como a trigo. 32 Pero yo he rogado por ti, que tu fe no falle. Y tú, cuando hayas vuelto, confirma a tus hermanos.
33 Él le dijo:
—Señor, estoy listo para ir contigo aun a la cárcel y a la muerte.
34 Pero él dijo:
—Pedro, te digo que el gallo no cantará hoy antes de que tú hayas negado tres veces que me conoces.
La hora del conflicto espiritual
35 Y les dijo a ellos:
—Cuando los envié sin bolsa, sin alforja y sin calzado, ¿les faltó algo?
Ellos dijeron:
—Nada.
36 Entonces les dijo:
—Pues ahora, el que tiene bolsa, tómela; y también la alforja. Y el que no tiene espada, venda su manto y compre una.
37 Porque les digo que es necesario que se cumpla en mí aquello que está escrito: Y fue contado con los malhechores[c]. Porque lo que está escrito de mí tiene cumplimiento.
38 Entonces ellos dijeron:
—Señor, he aquí dos espadas.
Y él dijo:
—Basta.
Angustia de Jesús en Getsemaní
39 Después de salir, se fue, como solía, al monte de los Olivos; y sus discípulos también lo siguieron. 40 Cuando llegó al lugar, les dijo:
—Oren que no entren en tentación.
41 Y él se apartó de ellos a una distancia considerable[d] y, puesto de rodillas, oraba 42 diciendo:
—Padre, si quieres, aparta de mí esta copa; pero no se haga mi voluntad sino la tuya.
43 [Entonces le apareció un ángel del cielo para fortalecerle. 44 Y angustiado, oraba con mayor intensidad, de modo que su sudor era como grandes gotas de sangre que caían hasta la tierra][e].
45 Cuando se levantó de orar y volvió a sus discípulos, los halló dormidos por causa de la tristeza. 46 Y les dijo:
—¿Por qué duermen? Levántense y oren para que no entren en tentación.
Jesús es arrestado
47 Mientras él aún hablaba, he aquí vino una multitud. El que se llamaba Judas, uno de los doce, venía delante de ellos y se acercó a Jesús para besarle. 48 Entonces Jesús le dijo:
—Judas, ¿con un beso entregas al Hijo del Hombre?
49 Al ver los que estaban con él lo que había de ocurrir, le dijeron:
—Señor, ¿heriremos a espada?
50 Y uno de ellos hirió a un siervo del sumo sacerdote y le cortó la oreja derecha. 51 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, dijo:
—¡Basta de esto!
Y tocando su oreja, lo sanó. 52 Entonces Jesús dijo a los principales sacerdotes, a los magistrados del templo y a los ancianos que habían venido contra él:
—¿Como contra un asaltante han salido con espadas y palos? 53 Habiendo estado con ustedes cada día en el templo, no extendieron la mano contra mí. Pero esta es la hora de ustedes y la del poder de las tinieblas.
Pedro niega a Jesús
54 Lo prendieron, lo llevaron y le hicieron entrar en la casa del sumo sacerdote. Y Pedro lo seguía de lejos. 55 Cuando encendieron fuego en medio del patio y se sentaron alrededor, Pedro también se sentó entre ellos. 56 Entonces una criada, al verlo sentado junto a la lumbre, lo miró fijamente y dijo:
—¡Este estaba con él!
57 Pero él negó diciendo:
—Mujer, no lo conozco.
58 Un poco después, al verlo otro, le dijo:
—¡Tú también eres de ellos!
Y Pedro dijo:
—Hombre, no lo soy.
59 Como una hora después, otro insistía diciendo:
—Verdaderamente, también este estaba con él porque es galileo.
60 Y Pedro dijo:
—¡Hombre, no sé lo que dices!
Y de inmediato, estando él aún hablando, el gallo cantó. 61 Entonces el Señor se volvió y miró a Pedro, y Pedro se acordó de la palabra del Señor como le había dicho: “Antes que el gallo cante hoy, me negarás tres veces”. 62 Y saliendo fuera, Pedro lloró amargamente.
Jesús ante el Sanedrín
63 Los hombres que tenían bajo custodia a Jesús se burlaban de él y lo golpeaban. 64 Y cubriéndole[f] le preguntaban diciendo:
—¡Profetiza! ¿Quién es el que te golpeó?
65 Y le decían otras muchas cosas injuriándole.
66 Cuando amaneció, se juntaron los ancianos del pueblo, los principales sacerdotes y los escribas, y lo llevaron al Sanedrín de ellos. 67 Y le dijeron:
—Si tú eres el Cristo, ¡dínoslo!
Pero él les dijo:
—Si se lo dijera, no lo creerían. 68 Además, si yo les preguntara, no me responderían. 69 Pero, de ahora en adelante, el Hijo del Hombre estará sentado a la diestra del poder de Dios[g].
70 Le dijeron todos:
—Entonces, ¿eres tú Hijo de Dios?
Y él les dijo:
—Ustedes dicen que Yo Soy.
71 Entonces ellos dijeron:
—¿Qué más necesidad tenemos de testimonio? Porque nosotros mismos lo hemos oído de su boca.
