Luke:22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh ,
which is called the Passover .
*
And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him ;
for they feared the people .
*
Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot ,
being of the number of the twelve .
*
And he went his way ,
and communed with the chief priests and captains ,
how he might betray him unto them .
*
And they were glad ,
and covenanted to give him money .
*
And he promised ,
and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude .
*
Then came the day of unleavened bread ,
when the passover must be killed .
*
And he sent Peter and John ,
saying ,
Go and prepare us the passover ,
that we may eat .
*
And they said unto him ,
Where wilt thou that we prepare ?
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished :
there make ready .
*
And they went ,
and found as he had said unto them :
and they made ready the passover .
*
And when the hour was come ,
he sat down ,
and the twelve apostles with him .
*
And he said unto them ,
With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer :
*
For I say unto you ,
I will not any more eat thereof ,
until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God .
*
And he took the cup ,
and gave thanks ,
and said ,
Take this ,
and divide it among yourselves :
*
For I say unto you ,
I will not drink of the fruit of the vine ,
until the kingdom of God shall come .
*
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 .
*
Likewise also the cup after supper ,
saying ,
This cup is the new testament in my blood ,
which is shed for you .
*
But ,
behold ,
the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table .
*
And truly the Son of man goeth ,
as it was determined :
but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed !
*
And they began to enquire among themselves ,
which of them it was that should do this thing .
*
And there was also a strife among them ,
which of them should be accounted the greatest .
*
And he said unto them ,
The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them ;
and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations .
*
And I appoint unto you a kingdom ,
as my Father hath appointed unto me ;
*
That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom ,
and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel .
*
And the Lord said ,
Simon ,
Simon ,
behold ,
Satan hath desired to have you ,
that he may sift you as wheat :
*
But I have prayed for thee ,
that thy faith fail not :
and when thou art converted ,
strengthen thy brethren .
*
And he said unto him ,
Lord ,
I am ready to go with thee ,
both into prison ,
and to death .
*
And he said ,
I tell thee ,
Peter ,
the cock shall not crow this day ,
before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me .
*
And he said unto them ,
When I sent you without purse ,
and scrip ,
and shoes ,
lacked ye any thing ?
And they said ,
Nothing .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And they said ,
Lord ,
behold ,
here are two swords .
And he said unto them ,
It is enough .
*
And he came out ,
and went ,
as he was wont ,
to the mount of Olives ;
and his disciples also followed him .
*
And when he was at the place ,
he said unto them ,
Pray that ye enter not into temptation .
*
And he was withdrawn from them about a stone '
s cast ,
and kneeled down ,
and prayed ,
*
Saying ,
Father ,
if thou be willing ,
remove this cup from me :
nevertheless not my will ,
but thine ,
be done .
*
And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven ,
strengthening him .
*
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 .
*
And when he rose up from prayer ,
and was come to his disciples ,
he found them sleeping for sorrow ,
*
And said unto them ,
Why sleep ye ?
rise and pray ,
lest ye enter into temptation .
*
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 .
*
But Jesus said unto him ,
Judas ,
betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss ?
*
When they which were about him saw what would follow ,
they said unto him ,
Lord ,
shall we smite with the sword ?
*
And one of them smote the servant of the high priest ,
and cut off his right ear .
*
And Jesus answered and said ,
Suffer ye thus far .
And he touched his ear ,
and healed him .
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
Then took they him ,
and led him ,
and brought him into the high priest '
s house .
And Peter followed afar off .
*
And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall ,
and were set down together ,
Peter sat down among them .
*
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 .
*
And he denied him ,
saying ,
Woman ,
I know him not .
*
And after a little while another saw him ,
and said ,
Thou art also of them .
And Peter said ,
Man ,
I am not .
*
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 .
*
And Peter said ,
Man ,
I know not what thou sayest .
And immediately ,
while he yet spake ,
the cock crew .
*
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 .
*
And Peter went out ,
and wept bitterly .
*
And the men that held Jesus mocked him ,
and smote him .
*
And when they had blindfolded him ,
they struck him on the face ,
and asked him ,
saying ,
Prophesy ,
who is it that smote thee ?
*
And many other things blasphemously spake they against him .
*
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 ,
*
Art thou the Christ ?
tell us .
And he said unto them ,
If I tell you ,
ye will not believe :
*
And if I also ask you ,
ye will not answer me ,
nor let me go .
*
Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God .
*
Then said they all ,
Art thou then the Son of God ?
And he said unto them ,
Ye say that I am .
*
And they said ,
What need we any further witness ?
for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth .
