Luke 22

Judas Agrees to Hand Jesus Over
1The Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was near. 2The chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for a way to get rid of Jesus, because they were afraid of the people. 3Then Satan entered into Judas, who was called Iscariot. He was one of the 12 disciples. 4He went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard and talked with them about how he could hand Jesus over to them. 5They were delighted and agreed to give him money. 6Judas accepted their offer and began to watch for a time to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was around.
The Last Supper
7Then the day of Unleavened Bread came, when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8Jesus sent Peter and John on ahead and told them, “Go, prepare for us to eat the Passover meal.”
9“Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked.
10Jesus replied, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters 11and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks, “Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?” ’ 12He will show you a large upstairs room with furniture already in it. Prepare for us to eat there.”
13Peter and John left, and they found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover meal.
14When the time came, Jesus and his apostles took their places at the table. 15He said to them, “I have really looked forward to eating this Passover meal with you. I wanted to do this before I suffered. 16I tell you, I will not eat the Passover meal again until it is celebrated in God’s kingdom.”
17Jesus took the cup and gave thanks. He said, “Take this cup and share it among yourselves. 18I tell you, I will not drink wine with you again until God’s kingdom comes.”
19Then Jesus took bread. He gave thanks, broke it, gave it to them, and said, “This is my body, given for you; do this in memory of me.”
20In the same way, after the supper he took the cup and said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. 21But someone whose hand is with mine on the table is going to hand me over to my enemies. 22The Son of Man will go to his death, just as God has already decided. But woe to the one who hands him over!” 23The apostles began to ask one another about this. They wondered which one of them would do it.
24They also started to argue about which of them should be considered the most important. 25Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles hold power over their people, and those who order their subjects around call themselves Protectors. 26But you must not be like that. Instead, the most important among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules should be like the one who serves. 27Who is more important, the one at the table or the one who serves? Isn’t it the one who’s at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. 28You have stood by me during my troubles, 29and I give you a kingdom, just as my Father gave me a kingdom. 30Then 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. 32But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. When you have turned back, help your brothers to be strong.”
33But Simon answered, “Lord, I’m ready to go with you to prison and to death.”
34Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you’re going to say three times that you don’t know me.”
35Then Jesus asked the disciples, “Did you lack anything when I sent you without a purse, bag, or sandals?”
“Nothing,” they answered.
36He said to them, “But now if you do have a purse, take it. And also take a bag. If you don’t have a sword, sell your coat and buy one. 37It is written, ‘He was counted among those who had committed crimes.’ I tell you that what is written about me must come true. In fact, it is already coming true.”
38The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.”
“Two swords are enough,” he replied.
Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives
39Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40When they got there, Jesus said to them, “Pray that you won’t fall into sin when you are tempted.” 41Then he went a short distance away, got down on his knees, and began to pray. 42He said, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup of suffering away from me. But do what you want, not what I want.” 43An angel from heaven appeared to Jesus and gave him strength. 44Because he was so distressed, he prayed even harder, and his sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.
45When he got up from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them sleeping, because they were worn out with sorrow. 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
47While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd came up. The man named Judas, who was one of the 12 disciples, was leading them. Judas came toward Jesus to kiss him, 48but Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you handing over the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen and they asked, “Lord, should we use our swords against them?” 50One of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
51But Jesus answered, “Stop this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.
52Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders, who had come for him, “Am I leading a band of armed men against you? Did you have to come with swords and clubs? 53Every day I was with you in the temple courtyard, yet you didn’t lay a hand on me. But this is your time, when darkness rules.”
Peter Says He Does Not Know Jesus
54Then they arrested Jesus and led him away to the high priest’s house. Peter followed at a distance. 55Some of the people there started a fire in the middle of the courtyard. When they sat down together, Peter sat down with them. 56A servant girl saw him sitting there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with Jesus.”
57But Peter denied it. “Woman,” he replied, “I don’t know him.”
58A little while later someone else saw Peter and said, “You also are one of them.”
“No,” he insisted, “I’m not!”
59About an hour later, another person spoke up. “This fellow must have been with Jesus, because he has a Galilean accent.”
60Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. 61The Lord turned and looked right at Peter. Then Peter remembered what the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will say three times that you don’t know me.” 62Peter went outside and he broke down and cried.
The Guards Make Fun of Jesus
63The men who were guarding Jesus began to make fun of him and beat him. 64They blindfolded him and said, “Prophesy! Who hit you?” 65They also said many other cruel things to him.
Jesus Is Brought to Pilate and Herod
66At dawn the council of the elders of the people, which included the chief priests and teachers of the law, gathered together. Jesus was led before the council. 67“If you are the Messiah,” they began, “tell us.”
Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe me. 68And if I asked you, you wouldn’t answer. 69But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.”
70They all asked, “Then are you the Son of God?”
He replied, “You say that I am.”
71Then they said, “Why do we need any more witnesses? We’ve heard it from his own lips.”
