Darby - Luke - 22

22:1  Now the feast of unleavened bread, which [is] called the passover, drew nigh,

22:2  and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

22:3  And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariote, being of the number of the twelve.

22:4  And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them.

22:5  And they were rejoiced, and agreed to give him money.

22:6  And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd.

22:7  And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed.

22:8  And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat [it].

22:9  But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare [it]?

22:10  And he said to them, Behold, as ye enter into the city a man will meet you, carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in;

22:11  and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

22:12  And he will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

22:13  And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover.

22:14  And when the hour was come, he placed himself at table, and the [twelve] apostles with him.

22:15  And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.

22:16  For I say unto you, that I will not eat any more at all of it until it be fulfilled in the kingdom ofGod.

22:17  And having received a cup, when he had given thanks he said, Take this and divide it among yourselves.

22:18  For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom ofGod come.

22:19  And having taken a loaf, when he had given thanks, he broke [it], and gave [it] to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

22:20  In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

22:21  Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up [is] with me on the table;

22:22  and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.

22:23  And they began to question together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this.

22:24  And there was also a strife among them which of them should be held to be [the] greatest.

22:25  And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called benefactors.

22:26  But ye [shall] not [be] thus; but let the greater among you be as the younger, and the leader as he that serves.

22:27  For which [is] greater, he that is at table or he that serves? [Is] not he that is at table? But I am in the midst of you as the one that serves.

22:28  But ye are they who have persevered with me in my temptations.

22:29  And I appoint unto you, as my Father has appointed unto me, a kingdom,

22:30  that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

22:31  And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, to sift [you] as wheat;

22:32  but I have besought for thee that thy faith fail not; and thou, when once thou hast been restored, confirm thy brethren.

22:33  And he said to him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.

22:34  And he said, I tell thee, Peter, [the] cock shall not crow to-day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

22:35  And he said to them, When I sent you without purse and scrip and sandals, did ye lack anything? And they said, Nothing.

22:36  He said therefore to them, But now he that has a purse let him take [it], in like manner also a scrip, and he that has none let him sell his garment and buy a sword;

22:37  for I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned with [the] lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end.

22:38  And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.

22:39  And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him.

22:40  And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

22:41  And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and having knelt down he prayed,

22:42  saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: — but then, not my will, but thine be done.

22:43  And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him.

22:44  And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth.

22:45  And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief.

22:46  And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation.

22:47  As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.

22:48  And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss?

22:49  And they who were around him, seeing what was going to follow, said [to him], Lord, shall we smite with [the] sword?

22:50  And a certain one from among them smote the bondman of the high priest and took off his right ear.

22:51  And Jesus answering said, Suffer thus far; and having touched his ear, he healed him.

22:52  And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks?

22:53  When I was day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.

22:54  And having laid hold on him, they led him [away], and they led [him] into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off.

22:55  And they having lit a fire in the midst of the court and sat down together, Peter sat among them.

22:56  And a certain maid, having seen him sitting by the light, and having fixed her eyes upon him, said, And this [man] was with him.

22:57  But he denied [him], saying, Woman, I do not know him.

22:58  And after a short time another seeing him said, And thou art of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.

22:59  And after the lapse of about one hour another stoutly maintained it, saying, In truth this [man] also was with him, for also he is a Galilaean.

22:60  And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, [the] cock crew.

22:61  And the Lord, turning round, looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before [the] cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice.

22:62  And Peter, going forth without, wept bitterly.

22:63  And the men who held him mocked him, beating [him];

22:64  and covering him up, asked him saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?

22:65  And they said many other injurious things to him.

22:66  And when it was day, the elderhood of the people, both [the] chief priests and scribes, were gathered together, and led him into their council, saying,

22:67  If thou art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not at all believe;

22:68  and if I should ask [you], ye would not answer me at all, nor let me go;

22:69  but henceforth shall the Son of man be sitting on the right hand of the power ofGod.

22:70  And they all said, Thou then art the Son ofGod? And he said to them, Ye say that I am.

22:71  And they said, What need have we any more of witness, for we have heard ourselves out of his mouth?
