Etheridge - Luke - 22

22:1  BUT the feast of the Phatiree, which is called Petscha, drew on.

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

22:3  But Satana entered into Jihuda called Scarjuta, who was of the number of the twelve.

22:4  And he went, and spoke with the chief priests, and the Sophree, and the chief authorities of the temple, how he would deliver him to them.

22:5  And they were glad, and confirmed to give him silver.

22:6  And he promised to them, and sought him opportunity to betray him apart from the multitude.

22:7  And the day of unleavened bread came, on which it was the custom to slay the petscha.

22:8  And Jeshu sent Kipha and Juchanon, and said to them, Go prepare for us the petscha, that we may eat.

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

22:10  He saith to them, When, you have entered into the city, a man meeteth you, bearing a pitcher of waters; go after him, and when he hath gone in,

22:11  say to the lord of the house, Our Master saith, Is there a dining-place where I may eat the petscha with my disciples?

22:12  And he will show you a certain large upper chamber which is furnished: there make ready.

22:13  And they went, and found as he had told them: and they prepared the petscha.

22:14  And when it was time, Jeshu came and reclined, and the twelve apostles with him.

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

22:16  for I tell you that from henceforth I shall not eat it, until it shall have been fulfilled in the kingdom of Aloha.

22:17  And he took the cup, and praised, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

22:18  for I tell you that I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of Aloha shall have come.

22:19  And he took bread, and praised, and brake, and gave to them, and said, This is my body which for you is given: this do in my memory.

22:20  And thus also respecting the cup, when, after they had supped, he said, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which for you is shed.

22:21  Nevertheless, the hand of him who betrayeth me is on the table.

22:22  And the Son of man goeth, as he was set apart: nevertheless woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!

22:23  And they began to inquire among themselves, who it was of them who this should do.

22:24  But there was also a contention among them, who of them was the greatest.

22:25  And Jeshu said to them, The kings of the Gentiles are their lords; and they who exercise authority over them, doers of good are called.

22:26  But you, not so: yea, he who is great among you, let him be as the least; and he who is chief, as one who serveth.

22:27  For who is greatest, he who reclineth, or he who serveth? Is not he who reclineth? But I am among you as he who serveth.

22:28  You are they who have remained with me in my temptations.

22:29  And I promise to you, as hath promised to me my Father, a kingdom;

22:30  that you may eat and drink at the table in my kingdom, and may sit upon thrones, and judge the twelve tribes of Isroel.

22:31  AND Jeshu said to Shemun, Shemun, behold, Satana, demandeth to sift thee as wheat;

22:32  but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith may not fail: and thou also, in the time that thou art converted, confirm thy brethren.

22:33  But Shemun said to him, My Lord, with thee I am prepared, and for the house of the bound, and for death.

22:34  Jeshu saith to him, I tell thee, Shemun, that the cock will not crow to-day, till three times thou hast denied that thou knowest me.

22:35  And he said to them, When I sent you without purse, or scrip, or shoes, was any thing wanting to you? They say to him, Nothing.

22:36  He saith to them, Henceforth, he who hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip also; and he who hath not a sword, let him sell his garment and buy a sword.

22:37  For I tell you also, that what is written must be fulfilled in me, that with the transgressors he was numbered: for all which concerns me must be accomplished.

22:38  And they say to him, Our Lord, behold, here are two swords. He saith to them, They suffice.

22:39  And he came forth, and went, as he was used, to the mount of the Place of Olives; and his disciples also went after him.

22:40  And when come unto the spot, he said to them, Pray that you enter not into temptation.

22:41  And he removed from them as (about the distance of) a stone's throw, and bowed the knee, and prayed,

22:42  and said, Father, if thou wilt, let this cup pass: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done.

22:43  And an angel appeared to him from heaven, who strengthened him.

22:44  And being in terror, more vehemently he prayed, and his sweat was as drops of blood, and fell upon the ground.

22:45  And he arose from prayer, and came to his disciples, and found them asleep, from sorrow.

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

22:47  And as he was speaking, behold a multitude, and behold him who was called Jihuda, one of the twelve, coming before them, and he came nigh to Jeshu, and kissed him: for this was the sign he had given to them, He whom I shall kiss is he.

22:48  Jeshu saith to him, Jihuda, with the kiss betrayest thou the Son of man?

22:49  But when they who were with him saw what was done, they say to him, Our Lord, shall we strike with the sword?

22:50  And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and took off his right ear.

22:51  Jeshu answered and said, It sufficeth until this; and he touched his ear which he had struck, and healed it.

22:52  And Jeshu said to them who had come against him, the chief priests, and elders, and the chiefs of the forces of the temple, As against a thief are you come forth against me, with swords and clubs to take me?

22:53  Every day with you have I been in the temple, and you did not stretch forth upon me (your) hands; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.

22:54  And they took (and) brought him to the house of the chief of the priests; and Shemun came after him from afar.

22:55  Now they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were sitting around it, and Shemun also sat with them.

22:56  And a certain damsel saw him as he sat by the fire, and, looking at him, she said, This also was with him.

22:57  But he denied, and said, Woman, I know him not.

22:58  And after a little while, another saw him, and said, Thou also art of them. But Kipha said, I am not.

22:59  And after one hour another contended and said, Assuredly this also was with him, for he is also a Galiloya.

22:60  Kipha saith, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And at once, while he was speaking, the cock crew.

22:61  And Jeshu turned, and looked upon Kipha; and Shemun remembered his word which our Lord had spoken to him, that before the cock shall crow thou wilt have denied me three times.

22:62  And Shemun went without and wept bitterly.

22:63  And the men who held Jeshu mocked him,

22:64  and veiled him, and they struck him upon the face, saying, Prophesy, who struck thee.

22:65  And many other things they blasphemed and spake against him.

22:66  AND when it dawned, the elders and chief priests and the Sophree came together, and took him into the house of their assembly; saying to him,

22:67  Art thou the Meshicha? tell us. He saith to them, Should I tell you, you would not believe me;

22:68  and were I to ask you, you would not return me a word, nor release me.

22:69  Henceforth the Son of man sitteth at the right hand of the power of Aloha.

22:70  Then said they all, Thou art, then, the Son of Aloha? Jeshu saith to them, You say that I am.

22:71  They say, Why yet need we witnesses? for we have heard from his mouth.
