Luke 22
Book: Luke
THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND SCRIBES PLOT TO KILL JESUS
2 And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death; for they feared the people.
JUDAS ARRANGES TO BETRAY JESUS
4 And he went away, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him unto them.
6 And he consented, and sought opportunity to deliver him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
JESUS’ FINAL PASSOVER WITH THE DISCIPLES
10 And he said unto them, “Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house whereinto he goeth.”
11 “And ye shall say unto the master of the house, The Teacher saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?”
THE LORD’S SUPPER
15 And he said unto them, “With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:”
17 And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves:”
18 “for I say unto you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.”
19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.”
20 And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you.”
22 “For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been determined: but woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed!”
A DISPUTE ABOUT WHO IS GREATEST
25 And he said unto them, “The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors.”
26 “But ye shall not be so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.”
27 “For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth.”
30 “that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
JESUS PREDICTS PETER’S DENIAL
32 “but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not; and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren.”
34 And he said, “I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, until thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.”
THE TWO SWORDS
35 And he said unto them, “When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything?” And they said, Nothing.
36 And he said unto them, “But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet; and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.”
37 “For I say unto you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned with transgressors: for that which concerneth me hath fulfilment.”
THE PRAYER IN GETHSEMANE
39 And he came out, and went, as his custom was, unto the mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed him.
42 saying, “Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.”
44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.
45 And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,
THE BETRAYAL AND ARREST OF JESUS
47 While he yet spake, behold, a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
49 And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
52 And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, that were come against him, “Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves?”
53 “When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”
JESUS BEFORE THE SANHEDRIN
54 And they seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed afar off.
55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them.
56 And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light of the fire, and looking stedfastly upon him, said, This man also was with him.
58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.
59 And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilaean.
60 But 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 that he said unto him, “Before the cock crow this day thou shalt deny me thrice.”
JESUS BEFORE THE SANHEDRIN
66 And as soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away into their council, saying,
