Godbey - Luke - 22

22:1  And the feast of the unleavened bread, called the passover, was nigh.

22:2  And the chief priests and scribes were seeking how they might kill Him; for they feared the people.

22:3  And Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

22:4  And having gone away, he spoke with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might betray Him to them.

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

22:6  And he promised them, and was seeking an opportunity to deliver Him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

22:7  And the day of the unleavened bread came, in which it behooved to slay the passover.

22:8  And He sent Peter and John, saying, Going prepare for us the passover, in order that we may eat it.

22:9  And they said to Him, Where do you wish that we may prepare it?

22:10  And He said to them, Behold, you having come into the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he is going.

22:11  And say to the landlord, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

22:12  And he will show you a large upper room furnished: there prepare.

22:13  And having gone away, they found as He told them; and prepared the passover.

22:14  And when the hour arrived, He sat down and the apostles along with Him.

22:15  And He said to them, I desired with desire to eat this passover with you before I suffer: for I say to you,

22:16  I eat this no more, until it may be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

22:17  And receiving the cup, having given thanks, He said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves;

22:18  for I say to you, I shall from now drink no more from the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God may come.

22:19  And taking bread, blessing it, He broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body given for you: do this in remembrance of me.

22:20  Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out in your behalf.

22:21  Moreover behold, the hand of the one betraying me is with me at the table.

22:22  Indeed the Son of man goes, according to that which has been appointed: but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!

22:23  And they began to inquire among themselves, who then of them is the one of them about to do this.

22:24  And there was a contention among them, which one of them seems to be the greater,

22:25  And He said to them, The kings of the Gentiles domineer over them; and those exercising authority over them are called Benefactors.

22:26  But you are not thus: but let the greater among you be as the younger; and the leader as the waiter.

22:27  For which is the greater, he that sitteth at the table, or the waiter? is not the one sitting? but I am in the midst of you as the waiter.

22:28  But you are those who have remained with me in my temptations.

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

22:30  in order that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and you shall sit upon thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

22:31  Simon, Simon, behold, Satan sought you out, to sift you as wheat:

22:32  but I prayed for you, that your faith may not fail you: and thou, when having turned, strengthen thy brethren:

22:33  but he said to Him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee to prison and to death.

22:34  And He said; I say unto thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

22:35  Then He said to them, When I sent you without purse, and valise, and sandals, did you lack anything? And they said; Nothing.

22:36  And He said to them; But now, let the one having a purse, take it, likewise also valise: and let the one having no sword, sell his cloak and buy one.

22:37  For I say unto you, that it behooves that which has been written to be perfected in me, this, And He was numbered with the transgressors: for indeed that which is concerning me has an end.

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

22:39  And having gone out, He departed, according to custom, into the Mount of Olives; and His disciples followed Him.

22:40  He being at the place, He said to them, Pray that you enter not into temptation.

22:41  And He was separated from them about a stone's cast; and putting down His knees, continued to pray,

22:42  saying, Father, if this cup is willing to pass from me; moreover let not my will, but thine be done.

22:43  And an angel from heaven appeared unto Him, strengthening Him.

22:44  And being in agony He continued to pray the more earnestly. And His sweat was like drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

22:45  And having risen from prayer, having come to His disciples, He found them sleeping on account of weariness,

22:46  and He said to them, Why do you sleep? Arising pray, that you may not enter into temptation.

22:47  And He still speaking, behold, a multitude and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them; and he drew near to Jesus to kiss Him.

22:48  And Jesus said to him, Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?

22:49  And those around Him seeing what was coming on Him, said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

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

22:51  And Jesus responding said, Hold on until this: and touching his ear, healed him.

22:52  Jesus said to the high priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders who were assembled to Him; You have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs.

22:53  I being daily with you in the temple, you reached not out your hands unto me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

22:54  And taking Him, they led Him away, and led Him into the house of the chief priest. And Peter followed Him a long way off.

22:55  And having lighted a fire in the midst of the court, and they sitting together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them.

22:56  And a certain maidservant, seeing him sitting at the fire, and fixing her eyes on him, said, This man was with Him.

22:57  And he denied Him, saying, Woman, I know Him not.

22:58  And after a brief interval another seeing him, said, Truly, thou art one of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

22:59  And about one hour having elapsed, a certain other man accosted him, saying, He was truly with Him: for he is a Galilean.

22:60  And Peter said, Man, I know Him not. And immediately, he yet speaking, the cock crew.

22:61  And the Lord turning, looked upon Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He said to him, that, Before the cock shall crow thou shalt deny me thrice.

22:62  And having gone out, he wept bitterly.

22:63  And the men having Him, began to mock, beating Him,

22:64  and covering Him, they continued to ask saying, Prophesy, who is the one smiting thee.

22:65  And blaspheming, they continued to speak many other things against Him.

22:66  And when it was day, the eldership of the people was convened, and the chief priests and scribes, and they led Him into their sanhedrim.

22:67  Saying, If thou art the Christ, tell us. And He said to them, If I may tell you, you will not believe:

22:68  and if indeed I will ask you, you will not respond to me, or release me.

22:69  And from now the Son of man shall be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.

22:70  And all said, Art thou the Son of God? And He said to them, You say that I am.

22:71  And they said, Why have we yet need of testimony? for we heard from His own mouth.
