| 22:1 |
Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.
|
| 22:2 |
And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might put Him to death; for they were afraid of the people.
|
| 22:3 |
And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve.
|
| 22:4 |
And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he might betray Him to them.
|
| 22:5 |
And they were glad, and agreed to give him money.
|
| 22:6 |
And he consented, and [began] seeking a good opportunity to betray Him to them apart from the multitude.
|
| 22:7 |
Then came the [first] day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover [lamb] had to be sacrificed.
|
| 22:8 |
And He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it."
|
| 22:9 |
And they said to Him, "Where do You want us to prepare it?"
|
| 22:10 |
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 that he enters.
|
| 22:11 |
"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?"'
|
| 22:12 |
"And he will show you a large, furnished, upper room; prepare it there."
|
| 22:13 |
And they departed and found [everything] just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.
|
| 22:14 |
And when the hour had come He reclined [at the table], and the apostles with Him.
|
| 22:15 |
And He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;
|
| 22:16 |
for I say to you, I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."
|
| 22:17 |
And when He had taken a cup [and] given thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves;
|
| 22:18 |
for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes."
|
| 22:19 |
And when He had taken [some] bread [and] 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."
|
| 22:20 |
And in the same way [He took] the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.
|
| 22:21 |
"But behold, the hand of the one betraying Me is with Me on the table.
|
| 22:22 |
"For indeed, the Son of Man is going as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!"
|
| 22:23 |
And they began to discuss among themselves which one of them it might be who was going to do this thing.
|
| 22:24 |
And there arose also a dispute among them [as to] which one of them was regarded to be greatest.
|
| 22:25 |
And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who have authority over them are called 'Benefactors.'
|
| 22:26 |
"But not so with you, but let him who is the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as the servant.
|
| 22:27 |
"For 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 I am among you as the one who serves.
|
| 22:28 |
"And you are those who have stood by Me in My trials;
|
| 22:29 |
and just as My Father has granted Me a kingdom, I grant you
|
| 22:30 |
that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
|
| 22:31 |
"Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded [permission] to sift you like wheat;
|
| 22:32 |
but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers."
|
| 22:33 |
And he said to Him, "Lord, with You I am ready to go both to prison and to death!"
|
| 22:34 |
And He said, "I say to you, Peter, the cock will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me."
|
| 22:35 |
And He said to them, "When I sent you out without purse and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?" And they said, "[No], nothing."
|
| 22:36 |
And He said to them, "But now, let him who has a purse take it along, likewise also a bag, and let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one.
|
| 22:37 |
"For I tell you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me, 'And He was numbered with transgressors'; for that which refers to Me has [its] fulfillment."
|
| 22:38 |
And they said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." And He said to them, "It is enough."
|
| 22:39 |
And He came out and proceeded as was His custom to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed Him.
|
| 22:40 |
And when He arrived at the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation."
|
| 22:41 |
And He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and [began] to pray,
|
| 22:42 |
saying, "Father, if Thou art willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Thine be done."
|
| 22:43 |
Now an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.
|
| 22:44 |
And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.
|
| 22:45 |
And when He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow,
|
| 22:46 |
and said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."
|
| 22:47 |
While He was still speaking, behold, a multitude [came], and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding them; and he approached Jesus to kiss Him.
|
| 22:48 |
But Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"
|
| 22:49 |
And when those who were around Him saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"
|
| 22:50 |
And a certain one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
|
| 22:51 |
But Jesus answered and said, "Stop! No more of this." And He touched his ear and healed him.
|
| 22:52 |
And Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as against a robber?
|
| 22:53 |
"While I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but this hour and the power of darkness are yours."
|
| 22:54 |
And having arrested Him, they led Him [away], and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but Peter was following at a distance.
|
| 22:55 |
And after they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting among them.
|
| 22:56 |
And a certain servant-girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight, and looking intently at him, said, "This man was with Him too."
|
| 22:57 |
But he denied [it], saying, "Woman, I do not know Him."
|
| 22:58 |
And a little later, another saw him and said, "You are [one] of them too!" But Peter said, "Man, I am not!"
|
| 22:59 |
And after about an hour had passed, another man [began] to insist, saying, "Certainly this man also was with Him, for he is a Galilean too."
|
| 22:60 |
But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." And immediately, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.
|
| 22:61 |
And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, "Before a cock crows today, you will deny Me three times."
|
| 22:62 |
And he went out and wept bitterly.
|
| 22:63 |
And the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking Him, and beating Him,
|
| 22:64 |
and they blindfolded Him and were asking Him, saying, "Prophesy, who is the one who hit You?"
|
| 22:65 |
And they were saying many other things against Him, blaspheming.
|
| 22:66 |
And when it was day, the Council of elders of the people assembled, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him away to their council [chamber], saying,
|
| 22:67 |
"If You are the Christ, tell us." But He said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe;
|
| 22:68 |
and if I ask a question, you will not answer.
|
| 22:69 |
"But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."
|
| 22:70 |
And they all said, "Are You the Son of God, then?" And He said to them, "Yes, I am."
|
| 22:71 |
And they said, "What further need do we have of testimony? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth."
