Lukas 22

Lutherbibel 2017

1 Es war aber nahe das Fest der Ungesäuerten Brote, das Passa heißt. (5Mo 16,1; Mt 26,1; Mk 14,1; Joh 13,1; Joh 18,1) 

2 Und die Hohenpriester und Schriftgelehrten trachteten danach, wie sie ihn töten könnten; denn sie fürchteten sich vor dem Volk. (Lk 19,47; Lk 20,19) 

Der Verrat des Judas

3 Es fuhr aber der Satan in Judas, genannt Iskariot, der zur Zahl der Zwölf gehörte. (Lk 4,13) 

4 Und er ging hin und redete mit den Hohenpriestern und mit den Hauptleuten darüber, wie er ihnen Jesus überantworten könnte. 

5 Und sie wurden froh und kamen überein, ihm Geld zu geben. 

6 Und er sagte es zu und suchte eine Gelegenheit, dass er ihn an sie ausliefere ohne Aufsehen. 

Das Abendmahl

7 Es kam nun der Tag der Ungesäuerten Brote, an dem man das Passalamm opfern musste. (2Mo 12,3; 2Mo 12,18) 

8 Und er sandte Petrus und Johannes und sprach: Geht hin und bereitet uns das Passalamm, damit wir’s essen. 

9 Sie aber fragten ihn: Wo willst du, dass wir’s bereiten? 

10 Er sprach zu ihnen: Siehe, wenn ihr hineinkommt in die Stadt, wird euch ein Mensch begegnen, der trägt einen Wasserkrug; folgt ihm in das Haus, in das er hineingeht, 

11 und sagt zu dem Hausherrn: Der Meister lässt dir sagen: Wo ist die Herberge, in der ich das Passalamm essen kann mit meinen Jüngern? 

12 Und er wird euch einen großen Saal zeigen, schön ausgelegt; dort bereitet das Mahl. 

13 Sie gingen hin und fanden’s, wie er ihnen gesagt hatte, und bereiteten das Passalamm. (Lk 19,32) 

14 Und als die Stunde kam, setzte er sich nieder und die Apostel mit ihm. 

15 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Mich hat herzlich verlangt, dies Passalamm mit euch zu essen, ehe ich leide. 

16 Denn ich sage euch, dass ich es nicht mehr essen werde, bis es erfüllt wird im Reich Gottes. (Lk 13,29) 

17 Und er nahm den Kelch, dankte und sprach: Nehmt ihn und teilt ihn unter euch; 

18 denn ich sage euch: Ich werde von nun an nicht trinken von dem Gewächs des Weinstocks, bis das Reich Gottes kommt. 

19 Und er nahm das Brot, dankte und brach’s und gab’s ihnen und sprach: Das ist mein Leib, der für euch gegeben wird; das tut zu meinem Gedächtnis. (1Kor 10,16; 1Kor 11,23) 

20 Desgleichen auch den Kelch nach dem Mahl und sprach: Dieser Kelch ist der neue Bund in meinem Blut, das für euch vergossen wird! (2Mo 24,8; Jer 31,31) 

21 Doch siehe, die Hand meines Verräters ist mit mir am Tisch. 

22 Denn der Menschensohn geht zwar dahin, wie es beschlossen ist; doch weh dem Menschen, durch den er verraten wird! 

23 Und sie fingen an, untereinander zu fragen, wer es wohl wäre unter ihnen, der das tun würde. 

Gespräche mit den Jüngern

24 Es erhob sich auch ein Streit unter ihnen, wer von ihnen als der Größte gelten sollte. (Mt 20,25; Mk 10,42; Lk 9,46) 

25 Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Die Könige herrschen über ihre Völker, und ihre Machthaber lassen sich Wohltäter nennen. 

26 Ihr aber nicht so! Sondern der Größte unter euch soll sein wie der Jüngste und der Vornehmste wie ein Diener. 

27 Denn wer ist größer: der zu Tisch sitzt oder der dient? Ist’s nicht der, der zu Tisch sitzt? Ich aber bin unter euch wie ein Diener. 

28 Ihr aber seid’s, die ihr ausgeharrt habt bei mir in meinen Anfechtungen. (Joh 6,67) 

29 Und wie mir mein Vater das Reich bestimmt hat, so bestimme ich für euch, (Lk 12,32) 

30 dass ihr essen und trinken sollt an meinem Tisch in meinem Reich und sitzen auf Thronen und richten die zwölf Stämme Israels. (Mt 19,28) 

31 Simon, Simon, siehe, der Satan hat begehrt, euch zu sieben wie den Weizen. (2Kor 2,11) 

32 Ich aber habe für dich gebeten, dass dein Glaube nicht aufhöre. Und wenn du dann umkehrst, so stärke deine Brüder. (Joh 17,9; Joh 17,11; Joh 17,15) 

33 Er aber sprach zu ihm: Herr, ich bin bereit, mit dir ins Gefängnis und in den Tod zu gehen. 

34 Er aber sprach: Petrus, ich sage dir: Der Hahn wird heute nicht krähen, ehe du dreimal geleugnet hast, dass du mich kennst. 

35 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Als ich euch ausgesandt habe ohne Geldbeutel, ohne Tasche und ohne Schuhe, habt ihr je Mangel gehabt? Sie sprachen: Nein, keinen. (Lk 9,3; Lk 10,4) 

36 Da sprach er zu ihnen: Aber nun, wer einen Geldbeutel hat, der nehme ihn, desgleichen auch eine Tasche, und wer’s nicht hat, verkaufe seinen Mantel und kaufe ein Schwert. 

37 Denn ich sage euch: Es muss das an mir vollendet werden, was geschrieben steht: »Er ist zu den Übeltätern gerechnet worden.« Denn was von mir geschrieben ist, das hat ein Ende. 

38 Sie sprachen aber: Herr, siehe, hier sind zwei Schwerter. Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Es ist genug. 

Jesus in Gethsemane

39 Und er ging nach seiner Gewohnheit hinaus an den Ölberg. Es folgten ihm aber auch die Jünger. (Lk 21,37) 

40 Und als er dahin kam, sprach er zu ihnen: Betet, dass ihr nicht in Anfechtung fallt! 

41 Und er riss sich von ihnen los, etwa einen Steinwurf weit, und kniete nieder, betete 

42 und sprach: Vater, willst du, so nimm diesen Kelch von mir; doch nicht mein, sondern dein Wille geschehe! (Mt 6,10; Joh 18,11) 

43 [Es erschien ihm aber ein Engel vom Himmel und stärkte ihn. 

44 Und er geriet in Todesangst und betete heftiger. Und sein Schweiß wurde wie Blutstropfen, die auf die Erde fielen.] 

45 Und er stand auf von dem Gebet und kam zu seinen Jüngern und fand sie schlafend vor Traurigkeit 

46 und sprach zu ihnen: Was schlaft ihr? Steht auf und betet, damit ihr nicht in Anfechtung fallt! 

Jesu Gefangennahme

47 Als er aber noch redete, siehe, da kam eine Schar; und einer von den Zwölfen, der mit dem Namen Judas, ging vor ihnen her und nahte sich Jesus, um ihn zu küssen. 

48 Jesus aber sprach zu ihm: Judas, verrätst du den Menschensohn mit einem Kuss? 

49 Als aber, die um ihn waren, sahen, was geschehen würde, sprachen sie: Herr, sollen wir mit dem Schwert dreinschlagen? 

50 Und einer von ihnen schlug nach dem Knecht des Hohenpriesters und hieb ihm sein rechtes Ohr ab. 

51 Da sprach Jesus: Lasst ab! Nicht weiter! Und er rührte sein Ohr an und heilte ihn. 

52 Jesus aber sprach zu den Hohenpriestern und Hauptleuten des Tempels und den Ältesten, die zu ihm hergekommen waren: Ihr seid wie gegen einen Räuber mit Schwertern und mit Stangen ausgezogen? 

53 Ich bin täglich bei euch im Tempel gewesen, und ihr habt nicht Hand an mich gelegt. Aber dies ist eure Stunde und die Macht der Finsternis. (Lk 19,47; Lk 20,19; Joh 7,30; Joh 8,20) 

Die Verleugnung des Petrus

54 Sie ergriffen ihn aber und führten ihn ab und brachten ihn in das Haus des Hohenpriesters. Petrus aber folgte von ferne. 

55 Da zündeten sie ein Feuer an mitten im Hof und setzten sich zusammen; und Petrus setzte sich mitten unter sie. 

56 Da sah ihn eine Magd im Licht sitzen und sah ihn genau an und sprach: Dieser war auch mit ihm. 

57 Er aber leugnete und sprach: Frau, ich kenne ihn nicht. 

58 Und nach einer kleinen Weile sah ihn ein anderer und sprach: Du bist auch einer von denen. Petrus aber sprach: Mensch, ich bin’s nicht. 

59 Und nach einer Weile, etwa nach einer Stunde, bekräftigte es ein anderer und sprach: Wahrhaftig, dieser war auch mit ihm; denn er ist auch ein Galiläer. 

60 Petrus aber sprach: Mensch, ich weiß nicht, was du sagst. Und alsbald, während er noch redete, krähte der Hahn. 

61 Und der Herr wandte sich und sah Petrus an. Und Petrus gedachte an des Herrn Wort, wie er zu ihm gesagt hatte: Ehe heute der Hahn kräht, wirst du mich dreimal verleugnen. 

62 Und Petrus ging hinaus und weinte bitterlich. 

Jesu Verspottung

63 Die Männer aber, die Jesus gefangen hielten, verspotteten ihn und schlugen ihn, 

64 verdeckten sein Angesicht und fragten: Weissage, wer ist’s, der dich schlug? 

65 Und viele andere Lästerungen sagten sie gegen ihn. 

Jesus vor dem Hohen Rat

66 Und als es Tag wurde, versammelte sich der Rat der Ältesten des Volkes – Hohepriester und Schriftgelehrte –, und sie führten ihn vor ihren Hohen Rat 

67 und sprachen: Bist du der Christus, so sage es uns! Er sprach aber zu ihnen: Sage ich’s euch, so glaubt ihr’s nicht; (Joh 3,12; Joh 10,24) 

68 frage ich aber, so antwortet ihr nicht. 

69 Aber von nun an wird der Menschensohn sitzen zur Rechten der Kraft Gottes. (Ps 110,1; Apg 7,56) 

70 Da sprachen sie alle: Bist du denn Gottes Sohn? Er sprach zu ihnen: Ihr sagt es, ich bin es. 

71 Sie aber sprachen: Was bedürfen wir noch eines Zeugnisses? Wir haben’s selbst gehört aus seinem Munde. (Lk 11,54)

Lukas 22

English Standard Version

The Plot to Kill Jesus

1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called the Passover. (Mt 26,2; Mk 14,1; Joh 6,4) 

2 And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to put him to death, for they feared the people. (Mt 21,46; Joh 11,53) 

Judas to Betray Jesus

3 Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve. (Mt 26,14; Mt 27,3; Mk 14,10; Lk 6,16; Joh 6,71; Joh 12,4; Joh 13,2; Joh 13,27; Joh 13,30; Apg 1,16; Apg 5,3) 

4 He went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers how he might betray him to them. (Apg 4,1; Apg 5,24; Apg 5,26) 

5 And they were glad, and agreed to give him money. 

6 So he consented and sought an opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of a crowd. (Mt 20,18) 

The Passover with the Disciples

7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. (2Mo 12,18; Mt 26,17; Mk 14,12; 1Kor 5,7) 

8 So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it.” 

9 They said to him, “Where will you have us prepare it?” 

10 He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters 

11 and tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ (Lk 2,7; Joh 11,28) 

12 And he will show you a large upper room furnished; prepare it there.” (Apg 1,13) 

13 And they went and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. (Lk 19,32) 

Institution of the Lord’s Supper

14 And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. (Mt 26,20; Mk 14,17) 

15 And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 

16 For I tell you I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” (Lk 14,15; Lk 22,30; Offb 19,9) 

17 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves. (Mt 15,36) 

18 For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” (Mt 26,29; Mk 14,25; Lk 22,16) 

19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” (Mt 26,26; Mk 14,22; Lk 22,17; Joh 6,53; 1Kor 10,16; 1Kor 11,23) 

20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. (2Mo 24,8; Sach 9,11; Lk 22,19; 2Kor 3,6; Hebr 13,20) 

21 But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table. (Ps 41,9; Mt 26,21; Mk 14,18; Joh 13,18; Joh 13,21) 

22 For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!” (Apg 2,23) 

23 And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this. 

Who Is the Greatest?

24 A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. (Mk 9,34; Lk 9,46) 

25 And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. (Mt 18,1; Mt 20,25; Mk 10,42; 1Petr 5,3) 

26 But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. (Mt 23,11; Lk 9,48; Lk 22,25) 

27 For who is the greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves. (Mt 20,28; Lk 12,37) 

28 “You are those who have stayed with me in my trials, (Hebr 2,18; Hebr 4,15) 

29 and I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, (Mt 25,34; Mt 28,18; Joh 17,18; Apg 14,22; 2Tim 2,12; Offb 1,6) 

30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (Mt 8,11; Mt 19,28; Lk 13,29; Lk 14,15; Lk 22,16; Apg 26,7; Jak 1,1; Offb 21,12) 

Jesus Foretells Peter’s Denial

31 “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, (Hi 1,6; Hi 2,1; Am 9,9; Joh 16,32; 1Kor 5,5; 2Kor 2,11; 1Petr 5,8) 

32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” (Ps 51,13; Joh 17,9; Joh 17,11; Joh 17,15; Joh 21,15) 

33 Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.” (Joh 21,19; Apg 12,4) 

34 Jesus said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.” (Mt 26,33; Mk 14,29; Joh 13,37) 

Scripture Must Be Fulfilled in Jesus

35 And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” (Mt 10,9; Mk 6,8; Lk 9,3; Lk 10,4) 

36 He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. 

37 For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me has its fulfillment.” (Jes 53,12; Mt 1,22; Lk 13,33; Joh 17,4; Joh 19,30; Apg 1,16) 

38 And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” And he said to them, “It is enough.” (5Mo 3,26; Mk 14,41; Lk 22,49) 

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

39 And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. (Mt 21,1; Mt 26,30; Mk 14,26; Lk 21,37; Joh 18,1; Joh 18,2) 

40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” (Mt 6,13; Mt 26,36; Mk 14,32; Joh 18,2; 1Petr 4,7) 

41 And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, (Apg 7,60) 

42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” (Mt 6,10; Mt 20,22; Hebr 5,7) 

43 And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. (Mt 4,11; Hebr 1,14) 

44 And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. (Lk 22,42) 

45 And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, 

46 and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.” (Lk 22,40) 

Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

47 While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him, (Mt 26,47; Mk 14,43; Lk 22,3; Joh 18,3) 

48 but Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” 

49 And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” (Lk 22,38) 

50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 

51 But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him. 

52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs? (Lk 22,4) 

53 When I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.” (Mk 14,35; Mk 14,41; Lk 2,46; Joh 8,2; Joh 12,27; Joh 16,4; Joh 18,20; Apg 26,18; Eph 6,12) 

Peter Denies Jesus

54 Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest’s house, and Peter was following at a distance. (Mt 26,57; Mt 26,58; Mk 14,53; Mk 14,54; Joh 18,15) 

55 And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. (Mt 26,3; Mt 26,69; Mk 14,66; Joh 18,16; Joh 18,25) 

56 Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, “This man also was with him.” 

57 But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.” 

58 And a little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.” 

59 And after an interval of about an hour still another insisted, saying, “Certainly this man also was with him, for he too is a Galilean.” (Apg 12,15) 

60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. 

61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.” (Mk 10,21; Lk 22,34; Apg 3,13) 

62 And he went out and wept bitterly. 

Jesus Is Mocked

63 Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking him as they beat him. (Mt 26,67; Mk 14,65; Joh 18,22) 

64 They also blindfolded him and kept asking him, “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?” (Lk 7,39; Lk 22,63) 

65 And they said many other things against him, blaspheming him. (Mt 27,39) 

Jesus Before the Council

66 When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. And they led him away to their council, and they said, (Mt 5,22; Mt 26,63; Mt 27,1; Mk 14,61; Mk 15,1; Lk 22,67; Joh 18,19; Joh 18,28; Apg 22,5) 

67 “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe, (Mt 1,17; Joh 10,24) 

68 and if I ask you, you will not answer. 

69 But from now on the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” (Mk 16,19; Apg 7,56; Hebr 1,3) 

70 So they all said, “Are you the Son of God, then?” And he said to them, “You say that I am.” (Mt 14,33; Mt 26,25; Mt 27,11; Mk 15,2; Lk 23,3) 

71 Then they said, “What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips.”

New International Version

Judas agrees to betray Jesus

1 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching, 

2 and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus, for they were afraid of the people. 

3 Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve. 

4 And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. 

5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money. 

6 He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present. 

The Last Supper

7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 

8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, ‘Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.’ 

9 ‘Where do you want us to prepare for it?’ they asked. 

10 He replied, ‘As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 

11 and say to the owner of the house, “The Teacher asks: where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?” 

12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.’ 

13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover. 

14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 

15 And he said to them, ‘I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 

16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfilment in the kingdom of God.’ 

17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, ‘Take this and divide it among you. 

18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.’ 

19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ 

20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. 

21 But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. 

22 The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed. But woe to that man who betrays him!’ 

23 They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this. 

24 A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. 

25 Jesus said to them, ‘The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. 

26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. 

27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. 

28 You are those who have stood by me in my trials. 

29 And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, 

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

31 ‘Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. 

32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.’ 

33 But he replied, ‘Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.’ 

34 Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, Peter, before the cock crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.’ 

35 Then Jesus asked them, ‘When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?’ ‘Nothing,’ they answered. 

36 He said to them, ‘But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 

37 It is written: “And he was numbered with the transgressors”; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfilment.’ (Jes 53,12) 

38 The disciples said, ‘See, Lord, here are two swords.’ ‘That’s enough!’ he replied. 

Jesus prays on the Mount of Olives

39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 

40 On reaching the place, he said to them, ‘Pray that you will not fall into temptation.’ 

41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, 

42 ‘Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.’ 

43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 

44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. 

45 When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 

46 ‘Why are you sleeping?’ he asked them. ‘Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.’ 

Jesus arrested

47 While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him, 

48 but Jesus asked him, ‘Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?’ 

49 When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, ‘Lord, should we strike with our swords?’ 

50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. 

51 But Jesus answered, ‘No more of this!’ And he touched the man’s ear and healed him. 

52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders, who had come for him, ‘Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs? 

53 Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour – when darkness reigns.’ 

Peter disowns Jesus

54 Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance. 

55 And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. 

56 A servant-girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, ‘This man was with him.’ 

57 But he denied it. ‘Woman, I don’t know him,’ he said. 

58 A little later someone else saw him and said, ‘You also are one of them.’ ‘Man, I am not!’ Peter replied. 

59 About an hour later another asserted, ‘Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.’ 

60 Peter replied, ‘Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!’ Just as he was speaking, the cock crowed. 

61 The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: ‘Before the cock crows today, you will disown me three times.’ 

62 And he went outside and wept bitterly. 

The guards mock Jesus

63 The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him. 

64 They blindfolded him and demanded, ‘Prophesy! Who hit you?’ 

65 And they said many other insulting things to him. 

Jesus before Pilate and Herod

66 At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and the teachers of the law, met together, and Jesus was led before them. 

67 ‘If you are the Messiah,’ they said, ‘tell us.’ Jesus answered, ‘If I tell you, you will not believe me, 

68 and if I asked you, you would not answer. 

69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.’ 

70 They all asked, ‘Are you then the Son of God?’ He replied, ‘You say that I am.’ 

71 Then they said, ‘Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own lips.’

Lukas 22

New International Reader’s Version

Judas agrees to hand Jesus over

1 The Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was near. 

2 The chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for a way to get rid of Jesus. They were afraid of the people. 

3 Then Satan entered Judas, who was called Iscariot. Judas was one of the 12 disciples. 

4 He went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard. He talked with them about how he could hand Jesus over to them. 

5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money. 

6 Judas accepted their offer. He watched for the right time to hand Jesus over to them. He wanted to do it when no crowd was around. 

The Last Supper

7 Then the day of Unleavened Bread came. That was the time the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 

8 Jesus sent Peter and John on ahead. ‘Go’, he told them. ‘Prepare for us to eat the Passover meal.’ 

9 ‘Where do you want us to prepare for it?’ they asked. 

10 Jesus replied, ‘When you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters. 

11 Then say to the owner of the house, “The Teacher asks, ‘Where is the guest room? Where can I eat the Passover meal with my disciples?’ ” 

12 He will show you a large upstairs room with furniture already in it. Prepare for us to eat there.’ 

13 Peter and John left. They found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover meal. 

14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles took their places at the table. 

15 He said to them, ‘I have really looked forward to eating this Passover meal with you. I wanted to do this before I suffer. 

16 I tell you, I will not eat the Passover meal again until it is celebrated in God’s kingdom.’ 

17 After Jesus took the cup, he gave thanks. He said, ‘Take this cup and share it among yourselves. 

18 I tell you, I will not drink wine with you again until God’s kingdom comes.’ 

19 Then Jesus took bread. He gave thanks and broke it. He handed it to them and said, ‘This is my body. It is given for you. Every time you eat it, do this in memory of me.’ 

20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup. He said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood. It is poured out for you. 

21 But someone here is going to hand me over to my enemies. His hand is with mine on the table. 

22 The Son of Man will go to his death, just as God has already decided. But how terrible it will be for the one who hands him over!’ 

23 The apostles began to ask one another about this. They wondered which one of them would do it. 

24 They also started to argue. They disagreed about which of them was thought to be the most important person. 

25 Jesus said to them, ‘The kings of the Gentiles hold power over their people. And those who order them around call themselves Protectors. 

26 But you must not be like that. Instead, the most important among you should be like the youngest. The one who rules should be like the one who serves. 

27 Who is more important? Is it the one at the table, or the one who serves? Isn’t it the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. 

28 You have stood by me during my troubles. 

29 And I give you a kingdom, just as my Father gave me a kingdom. 

30 Then you will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. And you will sit on thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel. 

31 ‘Simon, Simon! Satan has asked to sift all of you disciples like wheat. 

32 But I have prayed for you, Simon. I have prayed that your faith will not fail. When you have turned back, help your brothers to be strong.’ 

33 But Simon replied, ‘Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.’ 

34 Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, Peter, you will say three times that you don’t know me. And you will do it before the cockerel crows today.’ 

35 Then Jesus asked the disciples, ‘Did you need anything when I sent you without a purse, bag or sandals?’ ‘Nothing’, they answered. 

36 He said to them, ‘But now if you have a purse, take it. And also take a bag. If you don’t have a sword, sell your coat and buy one. 

37 It is written, “He was counted among those who had committed crimes.” I tell you that what is written about me must come true. Yes, it is already coming true.’ (Jes 53,12) 

38 The disciples said, ‘See, Lord, here are two swords.’ ‘Two swords are enough!’ he replied. 

Jesus prays on the Mount of Olives

39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives. His disciples followed him. 

40 When they reached the place, Jesus spoke. ‘Pray that you won’t fall into sin when you are tempted,’ he said to them. 

41 Then he went a short distance away from them. There he got down on his knees and prayed. 

42 He said, ‘Father, if you are willing, take this cup of suffering away from me. But do what you want, not what I want.’ 

43 An angel from heaven appeared to Jesus and gave him strength. 

44 Because he was very sad and troubled, he prayed even harder. His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. 

45 After that, he got up from prayer and went back to the disciples. He found them sleeping. They were worn out because they were very sad. 

46 ‘Why are you sleeping?’ he asked them. ‘Get up! Pray that you won’t fall into sin when you are tempted.’ 

Jesus is arrested

47 While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd came up. The man named Judas was leading them. He was one of the 12 disciples. Judas approached Jesus to kiss him. 

48 But Jesus asked him, ‘Judas, are you handing over the Son of Man with a kiss?’ 

49 Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen. So they said, ‘Lord, should we use our swords against them?’ 

50 One of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 

51 But Jesus answered, ‘Stop this!’ And he touched the man’s ear and healed him. 

52 Then Jesus spoke to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders. They had all come for him. ‘Am I leading a band of armed men against you?’ he asked. ‘Do you have to come with swords and clubs? 

53 Every day I was with you in the temple courtyard. And you didn’t lay a hand on me. But this is your hour. This is when darkness rules.’ 

Peter says he does not know Jesus

54 Then the men arrested Jesus and led him away. They took him into the high priest’s house. Peter followed from far away. 

55 Some people there started a fire in the middle of the courtyard. Then they sat down together. Peter sat down with them. 

56 A female servant saw him sitting there in the firelight. She looked closely at him. Then she said, ‘This man was with Jesus.’ 

57 But Peter said he had not been with him. ‘Woman, I don’t know him,’ he said. 

58 A little later someone else saw Peter. ‘You also are one of them,’ he said. ‘No’, Peter replied. ‘I’m not!’ 

59 About an hour later, another person spoke up. ‘This fellow must have been with Jesus,’ he said. ‘He is from Galilee.’ 

60 Peter replied, ‘Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!’ Just as he was speaking, the cockerel crowed. 

61 The Lord turned and looked right at Peter. Then Peter remembered what the Lord had spoken to him. ‘The cockerel will crow today,’ Jesus had said. ‘Before it does, you will say three times that you don’t know me.’ 

62 Peter went outside. He broke down and cried. 

The guards make fun of Jesus

63 There were men guarding Jesus. They began laughing at him and beating him. 

64 They blindfolded him. They said, ‘Prophesy! Who hit you?’ 

65 They also said many other things to make fun of him. 

Jesus is brought to Pilate and Herod

66 At dawn the elders of the people met together. These included the chief priests and the teachers of the law. Jesus was led to them. 

67 ‘If you are the Messiah,’ they said, ‘tell us.’ Jesus answered, ‘If I tell you, you will not believe me. 

68 And if I asked you, you would not answer. 

69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.’ 

70 They all asked, ‘Are you the Son of God then?’ He replied, ‘You say that I am.’ 

71 Then they said, ‘Why do we need any more witnesses? We have heard it from his own lips.’

Lukas 22

King James Version

1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. 

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

3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 

4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. 

5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. 

6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude. 

7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. 

8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 

9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 

10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. 

11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 

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

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

14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 

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

16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 

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

18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 

19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 

20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. 

21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. 

22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! 

23 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. 

24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 

25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 

26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 

27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. 

28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. 

29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; 

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

31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 

32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. 

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

34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. 

35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. 

36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 

37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. 

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

39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. 

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

41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 

42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 

43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. 

44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 

45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, 

46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. 

47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 

48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? 

49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? 

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

51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 

52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? 

53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. 

54 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. 

55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. 

56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. 

57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. 

58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. 

59 And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. 

60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. 

61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 

62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. 

63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. 

64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? 

65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him. 

66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, 

67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: 

68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. 

69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. 

70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. 

71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
