Rotherham - Luke - 22

22:1  And the feast of the unleavened bread, which is called a Passover, was drawing near.

22:2  And the High-priests and the Scribes were seeking, how they might get rid of him; for they feared the people.

22:3  But Satan entered into Judas, him called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve;

22:4  and, departing, he conversed with the High-priests and Captains, as to how, unto them, he might deliver him up.

22:5  And they rejoiced, and bargained with him to give him, silver;

22:6  and he freely consented, and began seeking a good opportunity for delivering him up, in the absence of a multitude, unto them.

22:7  Now the day of the unleavened bread a came,—on which it was needful to be sacrificing the passover.

22:8  And he sent forth Peter and John, saying—Go, and make ready, for us, the passover, that we may eat.

22:9  And, they, said unto him—Where wiliest thou, we should make ready?

22:10  And, he, said unto them—Lo! when ye have entered into the city, there will meet you a man, bearing, an earthen-jar of water: follow him into the house into which he is entering.

22:11  And ye shall say unto the master of the house—The teacher saith unto thee, where is the lodging, where, the passover, with my disciples, I may eat?

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

22:13  And, departing, they found according as he had said unto them, and made ready the passover.

22:14  And, when the hour arrived, he reclined, and the apostles with him.

22:15  And he said unto them—I have greatly desired, to eat, this passover, with you before I suffer;

22:16  For, I say unto you—In nowise shall I eat it, until it have been fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

22:17  And, accepting a cup, giving thanks, he said—Take this, and divide among yourselves;

22:18  For, I say unto you—In nowise shall I drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until, the kingdom of God, shall come.

22:19  And, taking a loaf, he gave thanks, and brake, and gave unto them, saying—This is my body [[which in your behalf is being given: this, be ye doing, in remembrance, of me.

22:20  And—the cup, in like manner, after the taking of supper, saying—This cup, is the new covenant in my blood, which, in your behalf, is to be poured out.]]

22:21  Nevertheless, lo! the hand of him who is delivering me up, is with me upon the table.

22:22  Because, the Son of Man, indeed, according to what is marked out, goeth his way; nevertheless, alas! for that man through whom he is being delivered up.

22:23  And, they, began to be enquiring together, among themselves, as to which, then, it could be, from among them, who, this thing, was about to perpetrate!

22:24  And it came to pass that there was, a rivalry also, among them, as to which of them seemed to be greater [than the rest] .

22:25  And, he, said unto them—The kings of the nations, lord it over them, and, they who wield authority over them, benefactors, are called.

22:26  But, ye, not so! On the contrary—the greater among you, Let him become as, the younger, and, he that governeth, as, he that ministereth,

22:27  For which is greater—he that reclineth? or he that ministereth? Is not he that reclineth? But, I, am, in your midst, as he that ministereth,

22:28  Ye, however, are they who have remained throughout with me in my temptations;

22:29  And, I, covenant unto you—as my Father hath covenanted unto me—a kingdom,

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

22:31  Simon! Simon! lo! Satan, hath claimed you, to sift as wheat;

22:32  But, I, have entreated for thee, that thy faith may not fail. And, thou, once thou hast turned, strengthen thy brethren.

22:33  But, he, said unto him—Lord! with thee, am I, ready, both into prison and unto death, to be going.

22:34  And, he, said: I tell thee, Peter—A cock will not crow this day, until, thrice, thou deny that thou knowest me.

22:35  And he said unto them—When I sent you forth, without purse or satchel or sandals, of anything, came ye short? And, they, said—Of nothing!

22:36  And he said unto them—But, now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, in like manner also, a satchel; and, he that hath nothing, let him sell his mantle, and buy a sword!

22:37  For I say unto you—This that is written, must needs be completed in me,—And, with lawless ones, was he reckoned; for, even that which concerneth me, hath, completion.

22:38  And, they, said—Lord, lo! two swords, here! And, he, said unto them—’Tis, enough!

22:39  And going out, he went, according to his custom, unto the Mount of Olives; and the disciples [also] followed him.

22:40  And, coming up to the place, he said unto them—Be praying, lest ye enter into temptation.

22:41  And, he, was torn from them about a stone’s throw; and, bending his knees, he began to pray,

22:42  saying—Father! if thou please, bear aside this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be accomplished.

22:43  [[And there appeared unto him a messenger from heaven, strengthening him,—

22:44  and, coming to be in an agony, more intensely, was he praying; and his perspiration became, as if great drops of blood, falling upon the ground.]]

22:45  And, arising from prayer, he came unto his disciples, and found them falling asleep by reason of their grief;

22:46  and he said unto them—Why are ye slumbering? Arise! and be praying, lest ye enter into temptation.

22:47  While yet he was speaking, lo! a multitude; and, he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them on,—and he drew near unto Jesus, to kiss him.

22:48  But, Jesus, said to him—Judas! with a kiss, the Son of Man, dost thou deliver up?

22:49  And they who were about him, seeing what would be, said—Lord! shall we smite with the sword?

22:50  And a certain one from among them smote, the High-priest’s, servant, and took off his right ear.

22:51  But Jesus, answering, said—Let be—as long as this! …And, touching the ear, he healed him.

22:52  And Jesus said unto the High-priests, and Captains of the temple, and Elders, who had come against him—As against a robber, have ye come out, with swords and clubs?

22:53  Daily, was I with you, in the temple, and yet ye stretched not forth your hands against me! …But, this, is your hour, and the authority of darkness.

22:54  And, having arrested him, they led him away, and took him into the house of the High-priest; and, Peter, was following afar.

22:55  And, they having kindled up a fire in the midst of the court, and taken seats together, Peter was for sitting among them.

22:56  But, a certain maid-servant, seeing him seating himself towards the light, and looking steadfastly at him, said—This one also, was, with him.

22:57  But, he, denied, saying—I know him not, woman!

22:58  And, after a little, another, beholding him, said—Thou also, art, from among them. But, Peter, said—Man! I am not.

22:59  And, about one hour having passed, a certain other, began stoutly to insist, saying—Of a truth, this one also, was with him; for indeed he is, a Galilaean.

22:60  But Peter said—Man! I know not what thou art saying! And, instantly while yet he was speaking, a cock crew.

22:61  And the Lord turned, and looked at Peter; and Peter was put in mind of the declaration of the Lord, how he had said to him—Before, a cock, crow this day, thou wilt deny me thrice!

22:62  [And, going forth outside, he wept bitterly.]

22:63  And, the men who held him bound, kept mocking him, with blows;

22:64  and, blindfolding him, questioned him, saying—Prophesy! which is he that smote thee?

22:65  and, many other things, with profane speech, were they saying unto him.

22:66  And, when it became day, the Eldership of the people was gathered together—both High-priests and Scribes,—and they led him away into their high-council, saying—If, thou, art the Christ, tell us!

22:67  But he said unto them—If I should tell, you, in nowise would ye believe,

22:68  And, if I should put questions, in nowise would ye answer;

22:69  But, henceforth, shall the Son of Man be seated on the right hand of the power of God.

22:70  And they all said—Thou, then, art the Son of God? And, he, unto them said—Ye, say [it],—because, I, am.

22:71  And, they, said—What, further, need have we, of witness? We ourselves, have heard it from his mouth.
