NOW THE FESTIVAL of Unleavened Bread, known as Passover, was approaching, | The Plot to Kill Jesus Lk.22.1-2 (Jerusalem) -[ Lk.22.1-2 → ] - Mt.26.1-5, Mk.14.1-2, Jn.11.45-53 |
| 2 |
and the chief priests and the doctors of the law were trying to devise some means of doing away with him; for they were afraid of the people.
| |
| 3 |
Then Satan entered into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve; | |
| 4 |
and Judas went to the chief priests and officers of the temple police to discuss ways and means of putting Jesus into their power. | |
| 5 |
They were greatly pleased and undertook to pay him a sum of money. | |
| 6 |
He agreed, and began to look out for an opportunity to betray him to them without collecting a crowd.
| |
| 7 |
Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover victim had to be slaughtered, | The Preparation of the Passover Lk.22.7-13 (Jerusalem) -[ Lk.22.7-13 → ] - Mt.26.17-25, Mk.14.12-21, Lk.22.21-23, Jn.13.21-30 |
| 8 |
and Jesus sent Peter and John with these instructions: 'Go and prepare for our Passover supper.' | |
| 9 |
'Where would you like us to make the preparations?' they asked. | |
| 10 |
He replied, 'As soon as you set foot in the city a man will meet you carrying a jar of water. Follow him into the house that he enters | |
| 11 |
and give this message to the householder: "The Master says, 'Where is the room in which I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'" | |
| 12 |
He will show you a large room upstairs all set out: make the preparations there.' | |
| 13 |
They went and found everything as he had said. So they prepared for Passover.
| |
| 14 |
When the time came he took his place at table, and the apostles with him; and he said to them, | The Institution of the Lord's Supper Lk.22.14-23 (Jerusalem) -[ Lk.22.14-23 → ] - Mt.26.26-30, Mk.14.22-25, 1Cor.11.23-26 |
| 15 |
'How I have longed to eat this Passover with you before my death! | |
| 16 |
For I tell you, never again shall I eat it until the time when it finds its fulfilment in the kingdom of God.' | |
| 17 |
Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, 'Take this and share it among yourselves; | |
| 18 |
for I tell you, from this moment I shall drink from the fruit of the vine no more until the time when the kingdom of God comes.' | |
| 19 |
And he took bread, gave thanks, and broke it; and he gave it to them, with the words: 'This is my body.' | |
| 20 |
| |
| 21 |
'But mark this—my betrayer is here, his hand with mine on the table. | |
| 22 |
For the Son of Man is going his appointed way; but alas for that man by whom he is betrayed!' | |
| 23 |
At this they began to ask among themselves which of them it could possibly be who was to do this thing.
| |
| 24 |
Then a jealous dispute broke out: who among them should rank highest? | The Dispute about Greatness Lk.22.24-30 (Jerusalem) - |
| 25 |
But he said, 'In the world, kings lord it over their subjects; and those in authority are called their country's "Benefactors". | |
| 26 |
Not so with you: on the contrary, the highest among you must bear himself like the youngest, the chief of you like a servant. | |
| 27 |
For who is greater—the one who sits at table or the servant who waits on him? Surely the one who sits at table. Yet here am I among you like a servant.
| |
| 28 |
'You are the men who have stood firmly by me in my times of trial; | |
| 29 |
and now I vest in you the kingship which my Father vested in me; | |
| 30 |
you shall eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.
| |
| 31 |
'Simon, Simon, take heed: Satan has been given leave to sift all of you like wheat; | Peter's Denial Foretold Lk.22.31-34[ Lk.22.31-34 → ] - Mt.26.31-35, Mk.14.27-31, Jn.13.36-38 |
| 32 |
but for you I have prayed that your faith may not fail; and when you have come to yourself, you must lend strength to your brothers.' | |
| 33 |
'Lord,' he replied, 'I am ready to go with you to prison and death.' | |
| 34 |
Jesus said, 'I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow tonight until you have three times over denied that you know me.'
| |
| 35 |
He said to them, 'When I sent you out barefoot without purse or pack, were you ever short of anything?' 'No', they answered. | Purse, Bag, and Sword Lk.22.35-38 (Jerusalem) - |
| 36 |
'It is different now,' he said; 'whoever has a purse had better take it with him, and his pack too; and if he has no sword, let him sell his cloak to buy one. | |
| 37 |
For Scripture says, "And he was counted among the outlaws", and these words, I tell you, must find fulfilment in me; indeed, all that is written of me is being fulfilled.' | |
| 38 |
'Look, Lord,' they said, 'we have two swords here.' 'Enough, enough!' he replied.
| |
| 39 |
THEN HE WENT OUT and made his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, accompanied by the disciples. | The Prayer on the Mount of Olives Lk.22.39-46 (Gethsemane) -[ Lk.22.39-46 → ] - Mt.26.36-46, Mk.14.32-42 |
| 40 |
When he reached the place he said to them, 'Pray that you may be spared the hour of testing.' | |
| 41 |
He himself withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down, and began to pray: | |
| 42 |
'Father, if it be thy will, take this cup away from me. Yet not my will but thine be done.'
| |
| 43 |
And now there appeared to him an angel from heaven bringing him strength, | |
| 44 |
and in anguish of spirit he prayed the more urgently; and his sweat was like clots of blood falling to the ground. | |
| 45 |
When he rose from prayer and came to the disciples he found them asleep, worn out by grief. | |
| 46 |
'Why are you sleeping?' he said. 'Rise and pray that you may be spared the test.'
| |
| 47 |
WHILE HE WAS STILL SPEAKING a Crowd appeared with the man called Judas, one of the Twelve, at their head. | The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus Lk.22.47-53 (Gethsemane) -[ Lk.22.47-53 → ] - Mt.26.47-56, Mk.14.43-50, Jn.18.3-12 |
| 48 |
He came up to Jesus to kiss him; but Jesus said, 'Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?'
| |
| 49 |
When his followers saw what was coming, they said, 'Lord, shall we use our swords?' | |
| 50 |
And one of them struck at the High Priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. | |
| 51 |
But Jesus answered, 'Let them have their way.' Then he touched the man's ear and healed him.
| |
| 52 |
Turning to the chief priests, the officers of the temple police, and the elders, who had come to seize him, he said, 'Do you take me for a bandit, that you have come out with swords and cudgels to arrest me? | |
| 53 |
Day after day, when I was in the temple with you, you kept your hands off me. But this is your moment—the hour when darkness reigns.' | |
| 54 |
Then they arrested him and led him away. They brought him to the High Priest's house, and Peter followed at a distance. | Peter's Denial of Jesus Lk.22.54-62 (Jerusalem) -[ Lk.22.54-62 → ] - Mt.26.57-75, Mk.14.53-72, Jn.18.12-18, Jn.18.25-27 |
| 55 |
They lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat round it, and Peter sat among them. | |
| 56 |
A serving-maid who saw him sitting in the firelight stared at him and said, 'This man was with him too.' | |
| 57 |
But he denied it: 'Woman,' he said, 'I do not know him.' | |
| 58 |
A little later someone else noticed him and said, 'You also are one of them.' | |
| 59 |
But Peter said to him, 'No, I am not.' About an hour passed and another spoke more strongly still: 'Of course this fellow was with him. He must have been; 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, a cock crew; | |
| 61 |
and the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the Lord's words, 'Tonight before the cock crows you will disown me three times.'
| |
| 62 |
| |
| 63 |
The men who were guarding Jesus mocked at him. | Jesus Mocked and Beaten Lk.22.63-65 (Jerusalem) -[ Lk.22.63-65 → ] - Mt.26.67-68, Mk.14.65 |
| 64 |
They beat him, they blindfolded him, and they kept asking him, 'Now, prophet, who hit you? Tell us that.' | |
| 65 |
And so they went on heaping insults upon him.
| |
| 66 |
WHEN DAY BROKE, the elders of the nation, chief priests, and doctors of the law assembled, and he was brought before their Council. | Jesus before the Council Lk.22.66-71[ Lk.22.66-71 → ] - Mt.26.59-66, Mk.14.55-64, Jn.18.19-24 |
| 67 |
'Tell us,' they said, 'are you the Messiah?' 'If I tell you,' he replied, 'you I will not believe me; | |
| 68 |
and if I ask questions, you will not answer. | |
| 69 |
But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of Almighty God.' | - the Son of man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God Lk.22.69 - Dn.7.13, Ps.110.1 |
| 70 |
'You are the Son of God, then?' they all said, and he replied, | |
| 71 |
'It is you who say I am.' They said, 'Need we call further witnesses? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips.'
